I, too, prefer not to know when my box has been blue pilled. Remote attestation is required for many privacy-preserving activities. It isn't just DRM.

- mindslight 7y agoI prefer my box to not be blue-pilled, rather than merely knowing if it has been double blue-pilled. I didn't say it was just DRM. Remote attestation creates a vulnerability whereby remote entities demand that you attest to running a software environment that they control. It's possible to do boot verification and attestation without baking in privileged manufacturer keys. If the attestation key were generated and installed by the owner, they could prove everything to themselves remotely, without being forced to prove anything to hostile parties. If this were the case here, I wouldn't be cheering.
