1. You have no chance to protect your data and no chance to brick your comp.
2. You have chance to protect your data and can brick your comp beyond repair.

It seems second scenario still better.

Idea:, when a computer is placed and opened by the first time, craftOS would ask for a password which would be saves somewhere in ROM(like sending a request to store). When changing physical stuff(still inside computercraft, not real life) , it would require a password. That password should match with the previously set in first boot. That way, a virus couldn't change boot priority and change labels e.g.. But as always, staff should consider all options before changing computercraft working method

Yes, exactly! I will finish my "BIOS Settings" concept and put in this topic link, entering setup would require password and booting to shell would require password, with setup you could clear startup program and other stuff(going to do this in upcoming few days)

I really support this idea, also if it would include BIOS Setup about which TheDiamondGames said, it would be perfect

Too complicated imho.
Custom ROM via crafting is better.

But still more people want it and don't care compared to who doesn't want it

Just because people want something doesn't mean it will happen. I'm sure a lot of people would love to get two thousand dollars from their government for nothing, but that doesn't mean the government will do that.

Gotta agree with Sebra, i would love custom ROM crafting. It's not really any of us' call though. It all comes down to wether Dan wants it or not.

Also if you wanted to disable copying quickly you just do
Edit copy
Some random stuff
This should then bring up an error message every time you attempt to copy a file over and you can do the same for edit edit
