**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Aug 11 02:59:56 2022 Aug 11 03:05:56 I'm in favour of having trusted boot systems in order to prevent access to data on lost/stolen devices, which practically requires at least some storage in the CPU/SoC. Having everything else removable is fine by me.

Aug 11 03:12:59 (and the solution to that is basically rollback prevention, though they say that not all OEMs do it) Aug 11 15:45:40 hey Aug 11 15:46:24 no one is ever online !!
