#AEFI

@lamp yes and no.

Yes, #Apple will #EoL the #Intel-based "Cheesegrater" #MacPro by 2029-2030 as per their preannounced platform lifecycle of 10 years.

No, because #Apple's #ARMv8.1-A - based #SoC's are heavily modified in that they require a feckton of custom chips solely for the purpose of #ReducedLifecycle and making repairs harder if not impossible to facilitate...

Unlike their #amd64 / #EM64T - predecessors they don't have a dedicaded #EFI chip with "#BridgeOS" aka. #AEFI aka. #macOS - #Recovery on but use the exact same #Flash chips that are #RAID0 as #SSD, and since those are custom with their own controllers ( based off info from @marcan ) - basically every chip is it's own NVMe but proprietary...
And when (not if) they (inevitably) die (due to exceeding TBW lifecycle or terrible engineering frying them with 12V on a 2,7V rail ), the entire system is braindead.

And that is not by accident but rather intentional...

@arcade Did you know that #Apple in their very finite wisdom decided to not put their #AEFI / #BridgeOS on a seperate flash but instead shove it onto proprietary flash chips so if your soldered-in SSD dies - and it will inevitably die over use and time - you can't even make the thing boot off an external drive as it's braindead.
Also good luck trying to crack Apple's #CensorBoot and finding a way to write new #firmware to those chips which you can't buy anywhere legally!

@thememesniper and I though soldered-down SSDs made up of proprietary Flash Chips that WILL INEVITABLY FAIL OVER TIME and thurn the device into a brick when it does because the #Apple #AEFI aka. #BridgeOS is also on the EXACT SAME FLASH CHIPS!

So one can't even reuse the device woth a #Linux on a #USB Flashdrive like a Store&Stay - alike dongle that basically ends up flush and doesn't break off easily.

@petnoodle If you #Hackintosh or need some #Update or #CleanInstall on machines with outdated #AEFI (#Apple-#EFI) then you may beed these.

Like some #fanless Hackintoshes similar to the one @snazzyq showcased ages ago:

A vaccine alliance funded vaccination data platform - fundamentally - has no incentives to collect #AEFI - #CoWIN scam.

$4.62 M for #CoWIN (not vaccines themselves - but just the data grab platform) by @gavi -- These are - lets says bonds of different kind :)

We can surely get OTP metrics from @rssharma3, but #AEFI and other worthy data / metrics ? Good luck.

“India's vaccinated offer a large pool of data critical for publishing studies on #vaccine efficacy. There is no reason why 1 year and 1.58 billion doses later, there is a paucity of publicly available data and peer-reviewed literature on vaccine efficacy” m.economictimes.com/opinion/et

The whole point of controlling #CoWIN is to keep #AEFI low by NOT focusing on collecting uncomfortable data. He has a decade of experience in doing that!

R S Sharma seems to think adolescents get a choice of vaccine but @MoHFW_INDIA/guidelines say otherwise. CoWIN head providing contradictory info & causing confusion.

Glitches aside, Sharma hasn’t followed thru on implementing self reporting of AEFI on CoWIN h…

Because - we focussed on delivering OTPs and generating digital health IDs with #CoWIN, #AEFI did not matter.

Now please don't use the same argument to say no data available. We have seen this intention not to generate uncomfortable data on very many things and then say no data

#RTI #COVID19 National #AEFI Committee meetings

In a billion doses, while #CoWIN has 32873 #AEFI reported, the national committee is appraised of only 1868 "serious" adverse events (as of Oct 25).

31360 incidents of #AEFI officially reported in #CoWIN

#VAERSIndia crowdsourced info tell 4900+ post vaccination deaths.

Guess how many our National #AEFI committee have analyzed?
