I would love to hear more about the kind of work done by people that need this level of security.

Like is the NSA covering their laptop screws in glitter nail polish? Are covert CIA agents? SOF?

Who needs this level of secrecy that would not have the physical security in place to protect the device in the first place?

tl;dr; 1. Don’t have kids 2. Put a scratchpad where they scratch

Started downloading FLAC music after discovering how bad Spotify compression is even at the highest quality. I still subscribe to Spotify for discovery and convenience, but almost never use it.

But practically don’t you reach a threshold where storing that much data on one drive makes it a bottleneck and safety risk until the speed of the surrounding systems catch up?

Doesn't this all feed into the idea that Apple is ditching x86/x64 and going full ARM?

It would make sense that the Apple TV is so much more powerful considering Apple pours so much into custom ARM chip design and OS development. MacOS doesn't work on ARM, and it doesn't seem like Apple is interested in porting it. Seems more likely the new Mini, if there ever is one, would be ARM based.
