well, the good news is that the unencryption is resilient, hard-rebooting doesn't break it, but it will keep trying and failing to unencrypt! I tried to leave some breadcrumbs for others with the same problem here.. https://t.co/dSxCU7L4Ie

@DamianEdwards The last I read you can’t trust “hardware” encryption, so better to do it in software. More consistent. And it can use the CPU hardware acceleration for the necessary math.
