's mode' is the 'no way back' wall you can disable.. stupidly requiring a microsoft account to do--in order to install stuff on your pc without needing a damn microsoft account in the first place.

the other is a setting, which is just a scary 'warning' about installing programs from outside the garden, that you can change.

You can actually disable it without an account! You have to edit a simple bios setting, something like disabling secure boot.

  soon you’d need to root windows laptop in order to install non-store software, not to mention gasp reflashing something else in its place

    Oh god I could see that happening.
    
    Then they’ll put a chip in that un-reflashes your firmware so you have to disable THAT before flashing like the HTC G2 did. Loved that phone but that was some bullshit.
