Indeed - I don't think it is useful to have such information displayed prominently when there is nothing that user's can do to affect this (in general) and so this will only cause alarm. Like Marc said, it is then not useful to display this without offering actionable tasks that a user an perform to increase their security, since then as jbicha suggested, some users will likely try and manually workaround these findings to 'increase' their security and potentially break their systems.
Whilst it is commendable that GNOME is trying to perhaps raise security awareness for users, doing this in a way where users don't really have any control over the results is likely to cause more harm than good. So I agree, this should not be part of the standard gnome-control-center at this stage for Ubuntu. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1987162 Title: 43: New Device Security feature is confusing and unhelpful currently To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1987162/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
