I will preface by saying, I hate it so much, and fear the day we can no longer put TPM into ‘user mode’ and enroll our own keys for our own signed & authorized OS (on hardware we own, in our house, not in th cloud), BUT if you are building an operating system focused on gaming, performance, and security, implementing and securing trusted + measured boot so the hardware platform ensures all stages of the bootloader, OS + game are the exact code the vendor intended is the absolutely correct way to implement anti-cheat. Sketchy 3rd party kernel mode modules that rummage around your system reporting what to who knows who wouldn’t be needed at all in this environment.

They’re not advocating violence, just reporting a fact. (A hammer is a tool, but also a murder weapon) But you do understand the power asymmetry of an unaccountable police force, right? And just how dangerous this is to civil society? There have been multiple accounts of excessive and incorrect deportations by ICE, with no visible effort to attempt to correct those problems. People are now using the meager tools we have left to try to enforce accountability, before there is only one last tool in the toolbox.

Can you prove that people are breaking the law by the mere collection and existence of this data?

How about those Flock ALPR cameras showing up everywhere? Can we be sure the collected data is being used in accordance with the law?

They just did this to me. How can I tell them they failed this test?

I have a bunch of ESP32’s that … I can update and replace the firmware on, if i reset it the right way with a usb cable. the web site doesn’t explain it any way how this is any worse than that…?

This is the first thing I have heard from her about what she’s working on since she had her “wings clipped”. Hope she is still doing good…
