That’s right. “Apple security” All the inconvenience, trouble and pain, and still this happens. Definitely not worth it. T2chip has been nothing but a troublesome, miserable disaster. Huge failure. Sad. 

Thanks, Mr. President. But seriously.. Can you provide some context / details on why the T2 chip has been all of these terrible things?

“ ecause of the nature of the vulnerability and related exploits, physical access is required for attacks to be carried out.

As a result, average users can avoid the exploits by maintaining physical security, and not plugging in USB-C devices with unverified provenance.”

So once the bad people HAVE the device they can mess with it.   Yawn. 

Which means that the devices that used to be undesirable by thieves and robbers now are perfectly legit reasons for pulling weapons on, physically attacking, and in at least some cases also worth killing, people out and about. There's no yawning about that.

Somehow I don't think thieves, muggers, and bloody murderers are real savvy on hacking in-chip hardware vulnerabilities. If this were the case, 2020 would be better known for "The Slaughter of the Smartphone Users" than for COVID, since all phones have various security flaws of one kind or another, especially if you have them in-hand. I think your statement is downright preposterous, to be frank. Sounds like you are having a terrible, anxious day, and maybe went a little far on this one. I get it, times are pretty tough right now. Deep breaths, and hang in there. Things will get better. No snark, I mean it.
