Why are these chips required for the latest versions of Windows and macOS?<p>Windows 11 Home doesn't support Bitlocker, and Bitlocker seems to be the only feature that requires a TPM.<p>My old iMac ran Monterey fine. I don't see a substantial difference between the ones supported by Ventura and mine except for generational upgrades and the lack of a T2.
There's no technical need for those chips. They're only starting to be required now so that they can force Treacherous Computing down your throat.
I see it as a way to deepen company control over customers' machines. This can be used for DRM or planned obsolescence.<p>I have long switched to Linux. I will never use these chips.
