      And that’s where the T2 chip keeps its firmware so when the soldered-on storage goes bad, the whole computer can’t boot and must go directly in the ewaste…

      I hate it so damn much.

        yep! I mean soldered ssds are 100% replacable. it sucks and is expensive, but definitely doable with the right tools. but then they pair them with the t2 and underfill them trying to prevent exactly that
