All OS Which team are you on - iOS or Android? And, why?

i never jailbreaked any kind of phone myself, i just thought we can jailbreak any phone be it andriod or ios by plugging it to laptop/pc. From the security pov of ios i thought we cannot access the data if we jailbreak a locked phone, guess i was wrong.

For Android, when we unlock the bootloader, the data is wiped because the encryption key for the user partition is wiped out.
 
Apple recently pushed security update to 10 year old devices, like iPhone 6s. Even after they were declared legacy.

The samsung galaxy S series phone that was launched in the same year as iPhone 6s in 2015 was Galaxy S6.

And

The Samsung Galaxy S6 received its final official security update in February 2018. Following this, Samsung officially ended software support for the Galaxy S6 family, including the S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge+, and S6 Active, in April 2018, marking the end of both security and major OS updates for these devices.
 
in what way? genuinely curious, after WSL2, it really grates me to use MacOS in any capacity,
Because like linux, there are really no constraints on how you want to use your system..
and unlike windows - which is perpetually forcing what MS wants you to do (forced updates anyone?)
Of course there are constraints on what hardware you can use (which is a valid gripe) but the software side of it is fully flexible with no real restrictions / forced diktats

I am not quite sure why your MacBook won't allow you to override the supposed malware block since it has always been a function of overriding it from the system security tab.
Possibly because it's an office machine as you mentioned with sudo right restrictions? Either way, its Hard to say without actually looking at it

This is usually due to familiarity bias, they’re used to how their original system works, and everything else feels unintuitive or frustrating by comparison.
This is the real answer. What gets odd though is when this bias results in objectively incorrect statements that go against the core strength of the OS stack in question.

I may find windows unintuitive or frustrating but it would be silly for me to say that windows lacks hardware flexibility.
I may find Linux too technical but it would be silly for me to say that it lacks customizability
I may find Mac OS confusing but it would be silly for me to say that it has usage restrictions / lacks software flexibility

Many ways you can disable that, and for a basic end user, they should update their windows, and despite what the memes on internet claim, forced update only happens when you have been ignoring your update for weeks

look up the issue on Docker's github, many people like werent able to fix that by ignoring in the security page, but yeah my laptop is locked down as well.

A lot of the inconveniences on iOS is on account of the stricter sandbox and isolation, which is good for security but impacts usability if you want to move things across apps.

If you root the phone, you basically remove these guardrails and the Google Play Store has repeatedly hosted apps infused with malware that can gain root access silently and track activities across apps, which is made worse if you sideload modded apps from unknown sources.

Would never recommend rooting on your primary device and would always recommend going for devices that release regular security patches.
