Honestly I am really concerned that eventually open computing and the days of a couple of college kids in a garage building a product that turns into a multi-million dollar success, are going to disappear under the guise of security. I know security is important and I do want companies to do better, but where do we end up if we eventually require that all software that can be run has to be signed by some authority that has vetted it, and you can't run XYZ on your machine because it hasn't gone through the right clearance hoops etc, etc, and I understand that won't be the purpose. But my journey started when I had an old HP that had windows ME on it that barely worked so I ripped it off and installed Ubuntu because I heard from a family friend it would run better, doing that eventually led to a successful long career in computing. I think now about how easy it would now be to move from "you have to disable UEFI Secure Boot option" I went through to get Linux on my latest laptop to "This hardware security chip has detected an unsigned OS attempting to load and will now terminate." I worry as we continue to lock down things in the name of "security" and make them mandatory, as often happens once the government gets involved will eventually lead to crushing the hacking spirit and kill the joy of computing. On the other hand maybe I am just waxing nostalgic about a pass that never existed that is telling kids to get off my lawn and about how everyone wore an onion on their belt.
