  • Yeah the UEFI requirement is likely specifically required for secureboot/TPM as well. TPM 2.0 didnt work well with legacy boot options. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Microsoft wouldn’t force those things as requirements if they didn’t think they were going to be held liable in court to provide security for their users. Sure it sucks to have it “forced” but there are worse things to complain about. Like the Microsoft account requirement. Yet once again I’m sure that’s because if you encrypt a drive and forget your password, being able to prove your identity and reset the password is preferred to them than saying the data is gone. Only so many “my wedding photos” and such are unrecoverable you want to deal with. Having a solution for a forgotten password is better than not. And not encrypting the drives isn’t a better answer, as once again, your back to being sued. The advertisements and bloatware are what bother me much more.


  • So what’s the angle here? Are we supposed to be mad at the LAPD for requesting footage from the surrounding area of a guy getting run down by a car? It seems like an extremely warranted reason to gather the footage. If people are worried about privacy then they need to fight for laws pertaining to backdoors and strict guidelines on when/why cameras can be supenoed. I believe it is highly likely a large majority would have voted for this to be a situation where it was turned over legally.

    “If a person is being charged with a felony for hurting another person and a judge grants it then it should be allowed. If the charges don’t lead to a conviction then it should be reviewed by a 3rd party organization of whether it should have been warranted originally. Infractions result in penalties/ dismissals of requesting parties”

    Something like that much more flushed out would be reasonable.
