    You don’t “sideload” an app on your PC, YET. They would very much like to limit your use of your own PC too.

      You basically do already. Most cheaper PCs come with S mode enabled from the store. Turning it off requires accepting a scary disclaimer that it’s a permanent change and you’re likely to fuck up your computer.

      I have to be honest though, I kinda like it for older relatives that I can’t convince to switch to Linux. Prevents tech support calls to me. And if Android was setup the same way with a one time prompt, I’d be perfectly happy.
