… watch for firmware updates later this month because there's a vulnerability that lets attackers with physical access to the system perform untoward acts. There was already a set of updates in the past month(s) that allowed to disable the fTPM (a firmware/software implementation of a trusted platform module) for that reason.
This probably effects some past APUs, as well as Ryzen, Threadripper, and Epyc chips.

(It's kinda cute how the ARM folks are all snobby about that stuff, seeing how AMD is using "ARM® TrustZone®" for that subsystem
)
