Kevin Karhan :verified:<a href="https://commune.anarchist.gay/@arcade" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@arcade</a> Did you know that <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Apple</a> in their very finite wisdom decided to not put their <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/AEFI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AEFI</a> / <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BridgeOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BridgeOS</a> on a seperate flash but instead shove it onto proprietary flash chips so if your soldered-in SSD dies - and it will inevitably die over use and time - you can't even make the thing boot off an external drive as it's braindead. Also good luck trying to crack Apple's <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/CensorBoot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CensorBoot</a> and finding a way to write new <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/firmware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#firmware</a> to those chips which you can't buy anywhere legally! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qbrLiGY4Cg&t=136s" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qbrLiGY4Cg&t=136s</a>
