There are libraries doing exactly this. Even simple "disable interrupts for next 50ms" is good enough. Hell, resistor and a capacitor on the input would probably be enough. Or just poll every 50ms

I was like "surely there is off the shelf solution to connect like 8 I/O ports into the network" the whole video about designing it. I guess just some networked PLC ?

How taking that into account makes shooting cops any better idea? One side being bad doesn't exclude other side sins.

What instructions you have and how they are structured does have direct relation to how easy/hard is to produce performant code with it, but yeah, in modern big processors they pretty much always go thru transformation to uOps (sort of

Thinkpads (say X1 Carbon) are physically better. Thin doesn't appeal to me, it's disadvantage. Ergonomy is better too. Just CPUs are worse.

Spikes of work is how most workflows work, max frequency is far from irrelevant. Sure, if your main wait is waiting for compile it won't help that much but everything else it is helpful

If you define "security" by "someone stealing your laptop", which is the far least likely way of getting pwned, sure.

Historically anything MS wanted to have in hardware was to make it more PITA to install windows alternatives. It's extremely likely it is.

Even that... isn't great. Certainly step up from "just a bunch of carbohydrates" but not exactly super healthy either.
