TPM chip requirement! Well, that may be a bummer for bootcamp/dual boot mac owners who like to have windows for work or other


reasons.

Not sure if VMs can get around that, anyone? 

Check out https://kb.parallels.com/en/122702. Not the same as bootcamp. 

from Parallels--Note: this article applies only to the virtual machines running on Intel-based Mac computers. The use of TPM modules in Parallels Desktop virtual machines running on a Mac computer with Apple M1 chip will be introduced in future updates. --so there is the potential for it running sometime in the future. As for VMware/Fusion, not sure if VMWare will ever run on M1 platform.

That's cool but VMs on INtel Macs won't be of any real use for serious gaming which is the only reason many Mac users have a PC or BootCamp. I can run GTAV or RDR2 at 2.5K on a 2103 Mac Pro with parallel GPUs in BootCamp for example.  In a VM they won't even start.  That said I use a PC and a GTX 1080 and run 4K, the Map Pro just got too hot.

As to M1s, I am running Windows 10 on my M1 test Mac using Parallels and I will go see now what that says about Windows 11 in the insider program test.

A 2103 Mac Pro. Really?

How many time would you have changed your password over 5 years. If you think you will be encumbered by they system, just don’t use it and stick with passwords. The rest of us Apple users will enjoy the benefits, because we are not planning to jump to Android. Ever. 

"The rest of us Apple users" is an assumption, and a biased one. Also, it doesn't matter whether all people are fine with it or not; from a company business practices side of things, this is exactly why anti-trust cases exist.

...so Apple now wants to store the world's passcodes on Patriot Act governed servers...?
Biometric data, when we sleep, where we move (now even when our iOS is off), what we say, read, watch and listen to - is anything left...?
Even with (if) the best of intentions does this concentration of data (digital colonialism?) put the world at increasing dependency & risk ?
Is it an ironic evolution for the internet which I understand was originally conceived to fragment communication access for security reasons,
yet potentially now becoming a source of infinite attack vectors to concentrations of digital data 'wealth'...?
