- charcircuit 4y agoMaking the hardware you bought secure is the opposite of it being used against you.
- TheNewsIsHere 4y agoI don’t agree with that framing. You can absolutely hide behind security to justify actions that are hostile to users. Companies do it _all the time_. There is room for both of these to be true.
- pxmpxm 4y agoMe doing whatever I want with stuff I bought is the definition of ownership. I'm starting to think that these sort of "CVE bro" posts are part of an intentional campaign by manufacturers trying to hold on to their rent seeking scheme. John Deere et al was definitely trying to use those arguments recently.
- charcircuit 4y agoThe big issue is that there is not a good way for the hardware to tell that the you are the owner and not an attacker.
- KyeRussell 4y agoThis is just absurd, dishonest, overly emotive language, built upon sand of the parent argument that people even care about this in the first place. You aren’t a farmer and your crappy MSI consumer hardware isn’t a tractor.
- flangola7 4y agoI am not interested in securing my hardware again changes I want to make.
- naikrovek 4y agoplease tell us what changes you would like to make.
- charcircuit 4y agoThere is likely a way to do that in a secure way. Such as the firmware providing a menu that lets you configure different things.
