This was always a dumb idea. No different than a “master” TSA key. All it does is create a single point of failure.

- rektide 3y agoKind of/almost a good thing. More and more security processors seem to have irrevocable keys or other non-user setups. It's. Just. Not. OK. And more and more governments are making demands about decrypting users data on demand, about blowing up security for their own greedy needs. They have no idea the awful horrific mess, the buggy by design systems we get when we forgoe security for their paranoid snooping. This is such a textbook lesson. Alas that we need another blow to the face to remind ourselves.
- Woodi 3y agoYou are of course wrong ! Becouse everyone needs to buy new... everything every 2 years ! It's good for some :>
- chinabot 3y ago3 people can keep a secret if two of them are dead. Good luck with hundreds!
- ustolemyname 3y agoThere's an off by one error in the above statement. Not sure if it's the right or left hand side.
- ChainOfFools 3y agoThis quote, attributed to Benjamin Franklin, was meant to be understood as HHOS.
- rvba 3y agoIt was a genius idea - you cannot install Windows 11 on an old computer. So you need to buy a new one. Monopoly practice hidden as security.
- tredre3 3y agoThis has nothing to do with TFA, you're thinking of the TPM2.0 which is unrelated to secure boot. Secure Boot is part of UEFI. TPM2.0 is used only by bitlocker (at least for the average person, enterprises do store other keys in it).
- mixmastamyk 3y agoOh, should I disable TPM2?
- SturgeonsLaw 3y agoThe TPM2 spec allows it to do much more than just hold private keys, it can act as a device identifier for attestation. If that's something you care about, then you might want to disable it. The fact that Windows 11 won't work without a TPM is a bonus.
- mixmastamyk 3y agoGuess I'm only worried about it being used against me. Don't know enough about any threats it might enable.
- Hawxy 3y ago> TPM2.0 is used only by bitlocker This isn't true at all, Windows Hello uses it as a secure credentials store.
- Dalewyn 3y agoWindows 11's system requirements include both SecureBoot and TPM2, so yes it is in fact relevant.

- scarface74 3y agoDo you actually have anything in your checked bag that you care if it gets stolen?
- 93po 3y agoliterally any of it? it's my shit, don't steal it
- scarface74 3y agoAll of the stuff I care about is in my carry on. Who wants to steal someone else’s clothes that probably won’t fit?
- xcdzvyn 3y agoYou're not all people. This theft happens, that's the cut-and-dry of it.
- scarface74 3y agoI’m on planes more than once a month (nomadding+consulting). I work with people who travel 80% of the time. Stealing luggage is so rare it’s meaningless. If you are really worried about your luggage, the easiest way to steal someone’s luggage is at baggage claim and just knock the lock off after they leave the airport. There isn’t a ring of thieves at the airport stealing your clothes. Lost luggage and delayed luggage is a bigger concern.
- Prickle 3y agoThe person that stole my favorite green button shirt. I still miss it...
- cuteboy19 3y agoits more so about mishandling. the entire tsa needs to be disbanded and put into actual productive work
