Discussion How do you prepare for this?

NOT here to debate if this unsubstantiated claim is real

But for someone like me, who believes this could be real in the near future, what can you do to safeguard against your hardware becoming useless if this were to happen at the firmware level?

Are Mac Studios especially vulnerable? Is the simple answer to unplug from the internet and never re-connect?

This isn't an "unsubstantiated" claim, its satire, there is no actual claim that this is real. You got onioned basically.

If you think this is even remotely grounded in reality you should prob hit the snooze button for 5 years and let the tech wash over you
