Or both--Russia doesn't have to be on one side or the other of this issue, they have a vested interest in there being a fight so they're happily going to play both sides
I mean I use VLC on my Chromecast but Kodi might work too
SMB share on your desktop, connect to that from your fire stick or a Chromecast TV or something, stream files that you already have on your desktop wirelessly
Not just key store, since you can quite easily use a secure enclave on Linux just as on any other platform.
The key issue is the render stack. On Windows and MacOS, providers can get certain assurances that the parts of the stack that take their decoded DRM'ed content and draw it into a window, get composited with other windows, have various transforms applied, and actually get things out to an HDCP-supporting monitor are all unmodified and (at least to a certain extent) immune to screen captures and other methods of getting the plain un-encrypted media stream. Linux on the desktop almost never provides those assurances. The only ones that really do are ChromeOS and Android--and both of those provide relatively high trust DRM as a result.
DRM doesn't work in practice to prevent piracy, but if you drink that cool-aid and assume for a moment that DRM actually worked, then Linux is basically impossible to provide verified DRM content to with the current landscape in the way that Windows, MacOS, CrOS and Android/iOS do

Look at the reporting on both of their confirmation hearings, or listen to the hearings themselves if you wish
I have a z800 that is now thoroughly obsolete, but really like the form factor (feels very sturdy, built in handles, drive trays are nice and solid, form factor stacks with other stuff nicely, built to handle hauling around without falling apart).
I want a system that I will have a good number of cores to split across VMs, but it's hard to justify a z840 right now when even the fastest CPUs I can throw into it won't significantly beat the perf I get from my m1 pro MacBook.
What workstation alternatives have y'all found that would give me significantly better perf than I already get from my MacBook, with the kind of build and ergonomics of something like the z8x0 platform?
Honestly I think they could relatively effectively curb non-state-level use in a lot of situations. If the risk of using them or disseminating them were controlled even nearly as tightly as copyright law, that relatively low bar would already filter out most users. Understand that it's technically non-trivial to set up and use these models. You might see them continue as warez and the like through torrent sites, but they aren't as simple as a pirated movie--you can't just copy it over and play it in most cases. 100% reduction is impossible by any reasonable means, but even 90% reduction would go a long way toward avoiding just one-off acts
I mean...Linux now has a good, mainlined NTFS driver. Sure you could use exfat, but even if you don't plan ahead NTFS works fine nowadays
