re: the apple silicon backdoor
What upsets people, is learning that their class status does not protect them to the extent they expect for the money they paid. When cheaper hardware has these kinds of issues found, nobody cares, because it didn't impact anyone paying out of pocket for luxury branding. For brands "Privacy" is just a term for the PR department, where the manufacturer side is completely insulated and probably being supply-chain attacked or outright pressed into directly implementing backdoors. Don't fucking pay extra expecting humans in positions of power to suddenly behave better. Don't enable that shit. A PR department isn't there to care for you, it is for damage control *against* future gullible you.
re: the apple silicon backdoor
What uncritical consumers don't understand is that even if you pay a premium for privacy and security it makes no difference. That's marketing bullshit. There will *always* be someone with a bigger wallet or bigger stick who wants your insecurity, and your personal information, more than you can justify the effort to the manufacturer(s). iPhone users should not be surprised about hardware backdoors with secret register values and undocumented instructions, as there has been far more sophisticated schemes found on both cheaper and more expensive equipment. If you are on an intel or ARM machine of this era it really ought to be the expectation, not the exception. People who have paid far more for far more luxury hardware than a mere apple gadget have been fucked like this. Not to mention actual professional grade hardware.
I need to buy groceries and meds but I'm running short on cash. It's not that urgent since I still have a week worth of meds left, but I'll still need help with the money
Money raised: $50 out of $60
I'd appreciate if someone could send some money my way, but please prioritize people who need it more.

Everyone is talking about Apple trying to resist the UK's demand to put backdoors in their software, but hardly anyone is talking about the backdoor they actually put in their hardware.
"Kaspersky’s researchers affirmatively and without question found a deliberately concealed, never documented, deliberately locked but unlockable with a secret hash, hardware backdoor which was designed into all Apple devices starting with the A12, A13, A14, A15 and A16"

I put a lot of work into manually making the English captions, so if you have trouble with un-captioned YouTubePoops, don't worry! Since starting this channel I have created a Patreon for supporting me and my family so I can keep putting out these videos. In addition there is a higher tier for accessing the (small) static source files and the kdenlive project files used in the edits, for those looking into example usages of Kdenlive video editor for these kinds of edits. It means a lot to me if you can share this around and also check out some of our other related videos.

Programmer and IT girl. Pseudo-vegan for the environment (-avocados +oysters). Very uncomfortable with astrology. Please don't call me "dude", "bro", "man", etc. Radical egalitarian anarchist, hierarchies and hate are incompatible with a free and equal life .
If you hate stoners just dni. I am also a trans woman so I *checks notes* meme about femininity and feminization sometimes. After dark account at: @thufieplus but read my bio there before sending a follow request even if we are already mutuals here. Oh and just to be clear because I think I see other white people on here trying to fake not being white under a bunch of other text, I'm just a disoriented white girl trying her best.
