This is the common ground. My ideal would be banning all forms of personalized advertisement and banning the sale of sensitive medical information.

On a second though, you are right. I mentally confused "not being able to boot unsigned code" and them being able to make booting unsigned code as useless as possible through attestation (possibly no internet, no DRM'd softwa

...no? How would MS force me to install an AGESA update that supposedly restricts me in booting unsigned code? That's where the newly announced remote attestation comes in. On the other hand, on PCs with Pluton chips they can change th

The fact that there is no "user override"[0] feature in any of these security processors is blatantly obvious evidence that they are designed to control and restrict first and foremost. I have read mjg's other posts on the to

I played around with the login flow of Visual Studio some time ago and it didnt seem to pin certificates so a simple mitmproxy plugin should help avoid logging in. Never got around to making it though so there might be some pitfalls.

WU has no hardware backed way forcing you to comply. At the absolute worst case you could load a driver or patch the OS from linux to get it to function as you wanted. Pluton gives MS leverage to make you comply or you fall out of their fav

The TPM is a step in that direction but still misses a couple of puzzle pieces to truly control your machine. For example it may sign the boot measurements but has no introspection into what runs on the machine afterwards.
