I'm just waiting for the Rossmann video when someone manages to spill some Coke on their T2 chip... Shit like this is why I will never buy another Apple product. With my encrypted drives I can pull them out, put them in another machine and decrypt them no issues.

Then they are not encrypted.

  Encrypted using passwords = not encrypted. Yeah, okay, tell that to the FBI who couldn't break TrueCrypt only a few years ago.

And the same goes for whoever steals/subpoenas your machine. Shit like this is why I only buy Apple products. The data I care about I have (encrypted) backups of. Not having backups and hoping that a specific hardware failure will not affect my ability to restore is equivalent to, well, just not having backups to begin with.

  > And the same goes for whoever steals/subpoenas your machine. Yes, because clearly all other encryption technologies are so vulnerable to theives and cops. There's only a pile of evidence of TrueCrypt and Bitlocker being quite effective in the field against both criminals and law enforcement agents. And that's not to mention SSD-based technologies which still allow for portability while mitigating some of the more theoretical attacks. > The data I care about I have (encrypted) backups of. Not having backups and hoping that a specific hardware failure will not affect my ability to restore is equivalent to, well, just not having backups to begin with. This is a good strategy, I too employ it with the majority of my important data, but it's just not realistic for normal people. And I'm sure I'm forgetting some scratch note or IDA database file that I'd be missing if I lost my desktop drive today...
