If you build remote attestation into your product, corporate entities will require it. Just look at Android - What phones today give you unlimited root? If you have rooted, what applications have you broken? If you root, what e-fuses have y

It won't remain "server" attestation. It will become "client" attestation, with the end result that you won't own your own machine anymore, you'll just be paying for a client device upon which you won&#x27

No, the endgame is that a small handful of entities or a consortium will effectively "own" Linux because they'll be the only "trusted" systems. Welcome to locked-down "Linux". You'll be free to run yo

Android lets you put your own signed keys in on certain phones. For now. The banking apps still won't trust them, though. To add a quote from Lennart himself: "The OS configuration and state (i.e. /etc/ and /var&#x2

it won’t matter if you disable it. You simply won’t be able to use your PC with any commercial services, in the same way that a rooted android installation can’t run banking apps without doing things to break that, and what they’re working

that’s great that you’ll let users have their own certificates and all, but the way this will be used is by corporations to lock us out into approved Linux distributions. Linux will be effectively owned by RedHat and Microsoft, the signing

I think the problem is that non-divergent people really cannot comprehend an inability to perceive non-verbal communication. Nonverbal communication is like breathing, or eating - it's something that just works for them; they don'

I recall it booting more slowly than 98 or ME, but I don't recall it being obnoxiously bad. I do remember disabling a lot of services I didn't think I needed, though.

I would argue that Windows 2000 was the last decent version of Windows. Fast, non-bloated, ran DirectX and games better than Windows 98 ever did, and as stable an operating system as I'd ever run.
