I realize now you are talking about using the nail polish to detect if a screw has been removed as opposed to checking if the screws had been taken out and put back in a different order. In that case, I would say 1) Nowadays with high res p

I think the persons point was that for the average user freedom requires a lot of technical knowledge and fiddling. Gentoo is an example of a free system that needs a lot of technical knowledge and fiddling.

> no more bootloader: please use the kernel instead This had a post on HN before and I didn't find the arguments terrible compelling. I'm curious what security advantages they might be able to say exist though.

The way to do this IMO is: Have the bootloader boot automatically into an encrypted guest OS, and have it obtain the key transparently from the TPM. This way the hard drive can not be read outside of the machine. The guest OS allows easy lo

My guess it has something to do with Japanese culture constantly discouraging individualism. If you're raised to be a cog in the machine and make sure you children will be cogs in the machine then that machine can run for a very long t

The cynic in me thinks this won't accomplish much. They can/do just buy data from other companies that scrape or some subsidiary. This isn't a technical problem, it's a legal/social problem.
