I think that would make sense yes. It isn't clear to me why they would distribute the private keys to the OEMs (laziness?).

Intel gave it to MSI, but I may have been incorrect before. Apparently the keys was shared across multiple OEMs (at least that is how I read this below) >The leaked private keys affect Intel’s 11th, 12th, and 13th generation processors a

I can't take people like you seriously. The anticheat isn't a backdoor. It doesn't ship with the operating system or come preinstalled in anyway. You opt into it when you play the game. Literally nothing is forcing you to use

I don't think its absurd at all. It isn't required in anyway (opt in), lets you use your own keys (no preinstalled microsoft or other bigcorp keys), and isn't possible for someone to modify what keys you installed. Of course

You are correct. Secure boot is not required to play valorant on windows 10.

Anyone saying secureboot "brings absolutely nothing" clearly doesn't understand how secure boot works (or is just arguing in bad faith). Secure boot has issues (see key revocation issue & vulnerable UEFI program used by m

I honestly don't understand why people act like this. Wanting to be able to ensure firmware isn't maliciously modified is a good thing. Open firmware is also a good idea obviously but there has to be a way to ensure firmware is si

The keys are OEM specific. Intel gives them to MSI so they can sign their firmware/BIOS updates. Clearly MSI didn't handle them well.

by CircleSpokes 3y ago
Except you can use your own keys? Nothing stops you from signing the stuff yourself (other comments in this thread link to a step by step guide!)

Not only do they hide it under a group policy even when you enable an "Enhanced PIN" there is a maximum length of 20.

It can work yes but AMD chips didn't get GMET until Zen2 so if you leave virtualization based protection on you might see a performance hit. From Microsoft's website: >Memory integrity works better with Intel Kabylake and highe

IIRC it has more to do with that series of chip not having GMET (AMD Guest-Mode Execute Trap for NPT) which is used in Windows 10/11s virtualization based protection. Microsoft requires this option for all new PCs from their partners b

Acting on behalf of adversarial governments is fine too if you register with the government. In the case linked above they didn't do that and conspired to keep the fact they took orders from Moscow hidden.

Because real life isn't a TV show. That isn't how national security agencies work. They don't dump raw intelligence to the public. The US knew it was Libya obviously, and the data released since then has proved that. Hell eve

What a ridiculous thing to say. Do you think the Libyan intelligence service gets to bomb dance clubs and then cry sovereignty when someone bombs some military targets in Libya? I don't know if you are ignorant of the situation or if y

Now I know you are trolling. Employees forming a union isn't 'parasitizing' an existing one. It is clear you don't even understand the basics of what a union is or how it works. It is for the best if ignorant people like

by CircleSpokes 4y ago
Nothing about forming a union is tone deaf. One doesn't have to be 'oppressed' to form a union. This isn't mocking anything.

Forming a union isn't entitled. Nothing is wrong with forming and joining a union. Your post is frankly ridiculous.

No it wouldn't. Basically all mobile networks would break and have to do even more layers of NAT to meet demand. > IPv6 does not do anything to save the planet. The world doesn't have enough IPV4 addresses. It literally solves

Taking away ownership isn't what this would do though? Honestly I don't even understand how you came to that conclusion.

That is the exact opposite off what it says. The US government has actually mandated IPV6 only networks in the next few years. >At least 20% of IP-enabled assets on Federal networks are IPv6-only by the end of FY 2023;9 >b. At least 5

Maybe I should have been more specific. In my mind there is a difference between stopping outgoing ddos attack and blocking/censoring websites.

University isn't the same as grade school. It is absurd a public University would do any sort of filtering or censorship on their networks.
