    The only company that can achieve that kind of efficiency is Apple. I say this as a proud Apple hater.

    It is not about efficiency, we already know for some time that x86 is not really efficient compared to newer architectures like arm and risc.

    But no other ecosystem exists that can force such an architecture move without much much more problems.

    So i would rephrase it as “The only company that can force that kind of fundamental change on its user and developers is Apple”

    I am not saying it is a bad thing (just alone the rosetta translate layer is actually really impressive). Would love to have some actually good and mainstream arm options such as Linux Laptop.



  • While i am personally also not a huge fan of TPM for FDE it is still a valid use. Why? In order to access data on the disk you would still need to bypass the login screen which is non trivial. Also another use case is encrypting the drive so when you sell it or dispose of it you do not need to worry about wiping it at least once to get rid of all data.

    TPM has its weaknesses but pls don’t talk down to someone who wants to use it when you do not understand his use case.
