Programming can even be broken down further. I remember when recursion clicked and suddenly a whole new world opened. Then I of course tried to use it for everything until In learned when it isn’t the right tool for the job.

Not arguing that Gates isn’t a total bastard with how he ran things but that was decades ago and he hasn’t been in charge for just about as long.

We need to stop making him the target of rants and focus on the people who are actively destroying software and democracy. The current crop of ceos and board members are arguably worse with even less oversight and regulations combined with more wieldable power. Focusing on Gates is just diverting attention from these current monsters.

These are the questions that need answers before any meaningful advice can be given.

And solutions!

GrapheneOS has a panic pin you can setup that when entered fully wipes the phone. You lose whatever was on it but that is the best “defense” I have seen so far.

Edit: not sure how thorough the wipe is but it would likely prevent access except through forensics.
