   I don't agree with this. Yes, any TPM is necessarily possible to bypass, but it's not easy. I know I could bypass normal password-based FDE with physical access to a machine without any special hardware or software, but not TPM-ba

   I don't like `curl|bash` not because it's insecure but because I don't know what it's doing to my system, and I don't believe that it understands my system properly. Ideally I'd download a single binary and put

    If Nvidia are breaking the GPL, or DMCA copy-protection-circumvention law, the Linux Foundation (or the FSF or someone) should sue them and get them to stop. If they are not breaking it, they should be allowed to use the symbols.

    Bools are ints, but I'd say that makes Python weakly typed (ish - it's a spectrum obviously). Are you just using "weak typing" to mean "implicit type coercion"?
