I ran my old Lenovo in Developer mode exclusively because that used to be the only way to
install third-party apps on a Chromebook, and I wanted to install the Android LC apps I built.
Mostly they worked okay until recently.
But you do lose a lot of the security measures when you do that. Google recently provided a way
to run in normal secure mode and install your own apps via adb. That does work, I'm happy to
say. So I decided to keep my new Chromebook in normal mode which is largely unhackable.
But no go on the LC experiment. The machine went down in flames.
