Oh, I'm plenty familiar with Microsoft's security failures. The thing is, I'm also plenty familiar with the security failures of Linux, Mac, Android, and iPhone. There are no OSes that "get it right."

That's exactly why nobody should be pushing updates to anything against your will.

Intel's "Form" that made them famous was having superior process technology and parlaying that into superior performance.

Intel no longer has superior process technology. They have roughly equivalent tech, except that their yields are trash. Or, they use someone else's process technology, in which case it's still not superior.

Intel's Next-Generation Panther Lake Laptop Chips Literally Could Not Be A Return To Form doesn't have quite the same ring to it as the headline you used here, but it wouldn't have been ignorant fuckery.

That is your opinion, which is not the same as it being factual

If you're not familiar with Microsoft's many absolutely unacceptable security failures, then you have nothing of value to add to this conversation, and there's no purpose in engaging with you further.

So how is that any different from iOS, or Android, or OSX?

Once again, since it didn't seem to sink in for you the many other times it's been said in this discussion and this thread, Microsoft has demonstrated again and again that they are incompetent when it comes to security at every level.

I don't think a real or faux Pi is a good idea any more unless the size is important. You can buy a minipc for competitive prices now, and get a nice working complete system which doesn't require weird software. If you don't need any graphics performance to speak of then a N150 is pretty beefy for 10W, and plausibly under $200. I chose to have just a little graphics performance and went with a Zen3 MiniPC with 15W TDP, a bit over $300 with 32GB and 1TB. It overclocks and the graphics get kind of OK for 1080p, but it's not worth it given the fan noise. I've also seen some pretty cheap "NAS" minipcs (they just have drive bays and SATA ports, most of these only have M.2 and if you want SATA you need to convert and come up with an enclosure.)

I got what I got because of the low power consumption, the whole thing maxes at only 30W.. and also because my desktop is the same architecture, which is convenient.

I have a theory that it's impossible to prove anything, but I can't prove it.
