    As of today, the only truly secure TPM is the STmicroelecronics part. AFAIK Dell is shipping with those. Other manufactureres decided to save fifty cents on the part and go for a cheaper solution, compromising the whole system.

    Even console version of the AC:Unity had it's share of bugs. I normally expect console games to run flawlessly, but this title was far from it. Of >100 games I played on XB1, this was the single most troublesome experience. Still gorgeous game, though.
