it looks like the future might be no storage just streaming a os directly to your PC and possibly future m-series mac there's a reason why i use a Merom based i945 mid 2006 mac mini as my daily driver its drive is fast enough to run osx buttery smooth it can have 3 gigs of ram and is about as powerful as a g5 see the article on "365 link" https://www.theverge.com/2024/11/19/24299789/microsoft-windows-365-link-device-cloud-pc |

The future will be so only if you allow it. Don't use, purchase or otherwise contribute to such devices and systems. Apple is mostly owned by Microsoft today, too, so ditch both and anything like them (Google to name one). Don't buy or advocate directly or indirectly for any computer device with soldered RAM, storage, GPU-on-CPU and so on. Batteries should always be removable and user-replaceable. Finally, don't use spyware hardware (Intel, AMD, ARM including so-called "Apple Silicon"), nor spyware OSes (any Windows, even more so 8+, any Mac OS X in particular non-PowerPC ones, and most BSD flavors and "Linux" distros, again in particular non-PowerPC). Remember: YOU shape future. You have all the power. Never "go along with things".

i do use intel i945 based mac(s) so no Intel management engine i use frogfind for most web stuff under firefox 3.6.2.8 im running tiger 10.4.11 i use pretty much just 7th gen consoles etc., i never go unto xbox live or PSN as online voice chat is atrocious (my cousin was almost kidnapped in 2008 from some person who was messaging him on xbox live) and those 7th gen digital stores are two-thirds closed down

Yes, if you avoid the Intel ME (or AMD's PSP or equivalent in other architectures like the infamous IBM POWER10 or any ARM in general), then you are good to go CPU-wise!

Woah! So what are the best computing options then? A super-fast G5 Mac running Sorbet Leopard, maybe? Or possibly a Windows 7 PC, or maybe on an Intel Mac running Boot Camp? Or a PowerPC-based OS like MorphOS? A PowerMac that runs OS 9, even if it's just in MCE mode? Or an older PPC Linux distribution? Or possibly a combination of all of the above OSes? But then the spyware's on the chips? Holy cow!  oh, and it's good to see you back again, my friend

as far as i know intel-wise any mac with the GMA 945 chipset (all tiger macs except for the mid 2007 MB Pro and 2007 Mac Pro and iMac mid 2007) have no intel me hence why my daily driver is a mid 2006 Mini (plan on getting a 2006 black macbook because of 007 spy stuff) and no from my experience avoid iPhones past the 3GS and all iPad's as they from what i understand have the same spyware as the m1 chips used starting with the A4 also google tablets in general are usually loaded with crap like that and require you to have a google account and give your home information to them just to set up the tablet if you are looking for tablets just get a UMPC or a XP Tablet edition tablet max it out and use that UMPC's like my Vaio one can be easily hackintoshed with snow leopard and have a intel core solo on a 945 chipset

i prefer 7th gen consoles although i do have a XBOX one VHS style from 2014 but ive always blocked the DNS and kept it offline only installing games from disc (i love sonic mania great game fyi for those of us that like classic 2d sonic and was decompiled and already ported to MS-DOS and runs on a Pentium iii at 500) the whole reason why i have the One is as a backup in case my 360 S gets the dreaded red light/ring of death

I heard about a ton of intel and ARM CPUs were found to have exploitable vulnerabilities. I think one of the bad ones involved access to protected memory or something, unless I have it wrong. I read that pretty much all intel CPUs going back to about the Pentium had that flaw. And many ARM CPUs did, too. The affected list of CPUs was so large that I didn't think security or privacy would ever again be attainable. Are you saying that not all intel CPUs are compromised?

I go 100% with Jatoba. Do not support this. It's very easy to give in and talk yourself into an excuse to stick with the mainstream. Get informed. Try to understand what is going on. Just the other day at work I had a discussion with somebody who is all for putting everything into the cloud. He was very reluctant to accept me saying that there is no such thing as the cloud. There is just somebody else's computer ... I'm not opposed to cloud storage at all, you just need to see and understand what it is and carefully consider what to use it for. Same goes with "no storage" solutions. In a way it's a big step backwards into the 1970's, where you'd use a terminal computer at your university or government, usually time limited, and only if the god's in the IT would allow it. They'd decide when and what would get processed or mind you, even get stored. Micro computers were conceived to exactly battle this situation. I can only encourage everybody not to give up the progress we've made in the past 3-4 decades.
