Everything is a turbo now which is “more efficient” but there is no way they will last as long as the naturally aspirated V6 or V8s that would go for 400-500k miles.

You do know that turbocharged engines don’t rev as much don’t you ? They last longer.

A 1.8L NA Atsra put out 92 kW at 6000 rpm. The 1.6L turbo version put out 134kW at 2800 rpm.

I wouldn’t say it was a failure.

It sold quite well considering its price.

The original specifications and price were never going to be met,

They jumped into the pot.

You talk as if this is some sort of special trick.

You’re able to work around those things precisely because they have been designed to be turned off.

Running a business system with the TPM turned off is madness, whcih will pretty much guarantee a ransomware attack,.

None of the changes including TPM requirements required a new iteration.

This is completely wrong.

The TPM is a hardware feature, so you need to update the whole system. The software patch is too slow to be useful.

The uptake level is expected given falling PC sales and the fact that upgrading is limited.
