> Why lie to the public? I don't, and TBH I don't find your writing style (of which this is an example) very engaging. Cr50 is a replacement for the old TPM. It has approximately the same constraints as the Infineon TPM used in the past: firmware updateable, but not for you. [edit to add: would a mechanism to disable the update mechanisms, at the price of "no warranty" since RMA becomes impossible be acceptable to you? Or would you suspect that there's another update mechanism anyway?] > Pulling the battery does enable rewrite Pulling the battery is non-trivial on a device like Pixel C, hence a new mechanism.
