If it's going to be dark may as well make it a radio shor or audio book. If I watch a movie, I want to see something meaningful.

Why do people always complain?
If someone sells something with requirements - it is their choice and not down to people whinging because they want the latest thing but can't due to XYZ. This world doesn't owe you squat.
Note - my personally built PC doesn't have a TPM, but when I get round to it I may purchase one and then upgrade - and I won't friggin' moan.
Re:Why can't I write code inside my browser?

If we want monkeys typing out the entire works of Shakespeare we might as well make that the default when you open a browser and smash the keyboard/screen (device will magically know).
I mean the alternative - friggin' learnin' stuff - is too hard.
