    I’m not happy with what’s happening and I know that corporations are money making evil machines.

    But to say that chip makers have no incentive at all to secure their hardware is quite the hyperbole.

      Fair enough, probably was hyperbole :) But performance does seem to be a higher priority than security; they can always spin PR after the next exploit, after all, users already have the CPU in their system, they’ve made their money; what are users really gonna do if an issue comes up after they’ve bought their box?

          Yeah, but we live in cpu monopoly. Intel and Amd Both companies put backdoors and all sort of shit in their cpus.

              Im out of the loop with those. Are Arm and socs viable alternative for home computing?

              Last time I checked I could not build a pc with Arm. Post above is right intel and amd are dominating home user market.

              I have a macbook air m1 and this arm chips is imo just amazing. No fan no issues, fast as fuck. Id like to build a pc with arm. Maybe when Linux and windows show more support for arm64?

                Linux supports ARM64 very well. Windows also has had ARM support for a quite a while. The main obstacles are 3rd party binary software (particularly on Windows) and lack of available hardware.
