The DMA security issue was an Intel problem more than an Apple problem. It was Apple's popularization of Thunderbolt that got Intel to finally stop disabling IOMMU support for product segmentation reasons.
security issue was Apple thing, they say security, privacy but have tb, firewire with posibility of "TSA" agents cloning your drive in 3 minutes. has nothing to do with any product segmentation. also they HAD icloud backups not encrypted, but had big public fight with FBI about unlocking ones iphone... good old days.
Not true; basically everyone shipping laptops with Firewire ports in that era was at risk of DMA attacks. Apple was merely the most notable vendor trying to offer something better than USB 2.0.
> has nothing to do with any product segmentation
Go look at which Intel Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge processors had VT-d (IOMMU) capability enabled vs disabled. The product segmentation strategy is on plain display. They made overclocking mutually exclusive with IOMMU for several generations of processor. There's no technological basis for that, just artificial product segmentation.
Please put at least a little bit of effort into fact-checking yourself before continuing ranting. It's not that hard, and you'll be much more convincing if you don't exaggerate your complaints to the point of being obviously wrong.
