    it physically lives in your RAM for the duration of the stream.

    It physically lives encrypted in your RAM and only temporarily. Remember TPM exists.

      Still there for the duration. Being encrypted just makes it akin to being inside a locked box. Being in RAM is like it being transferred in an escrow service.

        I guess. Technically. I don’t usually count encrypted without the ability to decrypt as useful, but, I’ll give you the up arrow because technically correct is the best kind of correct.

          Thanks, my point is simply just that data is still physical, no matter what.

          A document locked inside a box that I personally don’t have a key to doesn’t make the document inside of it non-existent, just inaccessible to me, personally.
