Readit NewsHaving a reasonably powerful router from 2016, the only thing that would motivate me to upgrade is Wi-Fi 6E (6 GHz).

I'm writing this on a pixel right now and I wish success to pixel, but I would bet that google won't provide 7 years of major android updates. It will be 4-5 years tops, and then they will just notify people about discontinuing it like with pixel pass.

This is not true.
Maybe in light threads that utilize many cores.
Most reviewers base it on Cinebench which is a poor indication of CPU performance for anything except Cinemark. Cinebench uses Intel Embree Engine which is hand optimized for x86. In addition, Cinebench favors CPUs with many slow cores - which is not how most software will perform. This is why AMD heavily marketed Cinebench for Zen1 launch and why Intel heavily markets it now for Alder Lake/Raptor Lake. In fact, Intel's little cores are basically designed to win at Cinebench.
Furthermore, AMD CPUs will rate at 25w but can easily boost up to 40w+ watts. It's up to the laptop maker.
You can easily limit the power to 25W. Most manufacturers typically have a silent mode which does exactly that.
Not sure what you mean by many slow cores, since mobile zen 4 has a better single-core performance than m2 pro.

I still wonder how Apple was able to achieve such an incredible performance per watt ratio compared to Intel and AMD. Anybody knows how they let Apple do it?
The latest mobile amd zen 4 has a comparable efficiency* to apple m2 despite not being arm or having hybrid architecture. See 7840U.
* Within up to 15% at 25W.

Not sure what you are using because my bitwarden does not have a secondary key.
What is the primary login method? Because I'm using SSO, and it still requires a master password.

1Password’s additional secret password to log in is an absolute non-starter for our corporation.
I could barely understand it myself let alone explain it to our lowest understanding employees.
What are you using then? Because Bitwarden also requires an additional secret.

I'm still looking for a product that offers a completely passwordless SSO and has a good and simple UI (keeweb, anyone?)
Unfortunately, Bitwarden fails at both.
Instead of focusing on making a browser that people want to use, Microsoft keeps adding bloat and harassing users. It's really sad to see, because I liked the minimalism and speed of the original Edge, and I even used to recommend the Chromium Edge to friends and family as a less intrusive Chrome alternative.
As a result, I rarely even read them and just try to look at profiles and have video calls.
