CW: re: Apple Event
@oshy both are shit because RAM and SSDs inevitably die over use and time.
Espechally SSDs do with every bit written!!!
And no, since #Apple had the #GalaxyBrainCahir idea to also put the #AEFI (Apple-#EFI & #BridgeOS) on the EXACT SAME FLASH CHIPS) any "#AppleSilicon" / #ARM / #ARM64 #Mac that has it's #SSD die is also #braindead.

@arcade Did you know that #Apple in their very finite wisdom decided to not put their #AEFI / #BridgeOS on a seperate flash but instead shove it onto proprietary flash chips so if your soldered-in SSD dies - and it will inevitably die over use and time - you can't even make the thing boot off an external drive as it's braindead.
Also good luck trying to crack Apple's #CensorBoot and finding a way to write new #firmware to those chips which you can't buy anywhere legally!

@thememesniper and I though soldered-down SSDs made up of proprietary Flash Chips that WILL INEVITABLY FAIL OVER TIME and thurn the device into a brick when it does because the #Apple #AEFI aka. #BridgeOS is also on the EXACT SAME FLASH CHIPS!
So one can't even reuse the device woth a #Linux on a #USB Flashdrive like a Store&Stay - alike dongle that basically ends up flush and doesn't break off easily.

@petnoodle If you #Hackintosh or need some #Update or #CleanInstall on machines with outdated #AEFI (#Apple-#EFI) then you may beed these.
Like some #fanless Hackintoshes similar to the one @snazzyq showcased ages ago:
