A Mac has the unique capability of running fully licensed and supported macOS and iOS. Plus it can run Window, Linux, and Android, just like everything else.

How do you only allow parent connectivity without allowing most everything else? Would this require schools to build an app specifically for them to allow through and make parents and kids use that? It sounds awful for everyone involved. A mildly determined and clever kid would probably be able to figure out how to circumvent the censorship anyways, and now you’re back at square one but with a bunch of useless infrastructure to maintain.
On an ATX motherboard maybe, but there would be no space on a laptop or ITX board.
Because it’s true. Soldering the memory right next to the CPU allows us to run the memory at a lower voltage and faster clock rate, while getting lower latency too. The LPDDR4/5X are designed based around these improvements. GPUs have been doing this forever too for the same reasons. It’s a huge upgrade in every way except upgradability, which is effectively eliminated.
Yes, but statistically it’ll be caught during the return or warranty period, and then RAM failures are extremely rare after that.
It’s piracy, distributing copyrighted works against the terms of its license. I agree stealing is not really the right word.
Solder doesn’t increase performance (the memory is soldered to something regardless, either the main board or an expansion board), but shorter physical distances mean lower latency and less power to transmit the same data. LPDDR4/5X are designed to take advantage of this additional efficiency.
Shorter physical distance means less latency and lower power. Some memory types like LPDDR4X are built with assumptions that only apply to soldered RAM.
Well, that too, but that’s not particularly common on laptops or GPUs. Even in Apple silicon it’s not the same die, but it is the same package.
You could, and this was before banks and such blocked your device if it was rooted. Still wasn’t accessible to most, and if you had a carrier variant you were probably out of luck.
I predict if the US can make better chips than Taiwan and can fulfill domestic production itself, Taiwan will shift from an asset to a burden and the US would stop caring nearly as much. The rhetoric will stay approximately the same, but I doubt the US would go to war at that point for Taiwan.
