Not at all.
The TSA got credible information from intelligence agencies that there is a group who has the plan to manufacture bombs which are disguised as laptops. They would be manufactured such that they appear normal to the commonly used screening technologies. This is what we know. From here on it is speculation.
The easiest way to accomplish this is by replacing the battery of a laptop with explosives. You wouldn't want to have a mix of real battery and explosive though because that would be very hard to hide seamlessly on a scanner. So the theory is that these laptops would not function, and when being turned on they would appear to be out of battery.
So no. Being able to boot your laptop does not prove that you are not an "assassin". It proves that it has functioning batteries inside.
Besides how silly that is? I wager that we could teach mandolin stringing and laptop booting to anyone in an hour tops. Attacker or not. In fact anyone who can chew gum and walk at the same time can probably string a mandolin in 15 minutes (not to the exacting expectations of a real mandolin player, but to appear competent enough to a screening person.)
Laptop screen: 17 inch 3840x2160, 200% scaling
Dual external screens: 27 inch 3840x2160, 150% scaling
No issues with the above. I only have 4K screens, so I haven't tested this with different resolutions, but at the very least different scaling does work.
A multi-trillion dollar company releases an upgrade to its flagship operating system and "anyone who knows anything" smiles and nods because we understand that actually USING the upgrade runs a high enough chance to brick your device that doing so without a backup is a rube cliche.
I get it. But my question stands.
I took the plunge when I switched to a job where we worked on windows instead of macOS and got a keyChron as my daily driver instead of a Magic Keyboard.
I had good memories of clicking away on an old IBM as a kid in the 90s so I thought I’d enjoy a “real” keyboard.
I don’t dislike my low profile keyChron. But even after a year and a half it still feels tall and I mistype a lot. I don’t think a Mac keyboard works well on windows so I also don’t want to connect my Magic Keyboard to my work PC.
