Apple Silicon Hardware: SPRR and Guarded Exception Levels (GXF)
This is really cool! However, it breaks my heart that talented people have to spend their time on something like this - companies should be required to release a documentation for consumers so they can fully use their products. Otherwise you don't really buy e.g. a Mac, only a privilege of using whatever Apple cooked up for you.
This erosion of ownership should stop.
If you bought a computer in the 80s you could get everything you need to write your own operating system etc. you could get schematics, parts and so on.
Today you pay a lot of money for an illusion of owning something.
I get that many people don't care, but this is not the world I want to live in.
Hopefully initiatives like right to repair will change it and companies like Apple will be forced to treat consumers like consumers and not sheep that they can fleece as they please. Apple (and other big corporations) should serve consumers, not shareholders.
