No, this means the recovery key or other external unlocks have been lost, but the TPM chip is still working correctly to provide the bitlocker key during boot.

This is not bypassing bitlocker, simply bypassing loading the bsod causing crowdstrile driver by booting into safe mode. You still need a valid administrator account so authentication is also not compromised.

You would still need some kind of exploit to bypass the windows login screen.

Guess we should change the old saying to if it’s brown lay down, if it’s black put it on snap?

Biometrics, also people are horrible at making good passwords/pin codes. There’s also normally a few tricks to get around being locked out for X minutes/days/years. Also you can bet Apple or whoever made his phone bent over backwards to help the FBI get in to that phone. The idiot tried to shoot a former president of the United States.

Control, and a means of targeting anyone who they want to paint as “the other”.

Did you hear what happened to Jimmy? Taken away to prison because he looked at GILF content.

It’s only one step away from all the people who mysteriously fall out of windows in Russia.

Companies see that as a mistake. They want you on a subscription for life that they can arbitrarily change at any time.

Profits not increasing enough for this quarter? Better cut content, increase prices, increase the number of ads.

Profits increased amazingly this quarter? Better cut content, increase prices, increase the number of ads.

Profits down? Better cut content, increase prices, increase the number of ads, and start adding extra paywalls to some content

They want you to own nothing. Oh you unsubscribed? Sorry even the content you paid extra to unlock was only available while your subscription continued, you will need to start your subscription again and then pay to unlock the content again.

A show isn’t popular enough? Better write it off, pull it from all distribution so you can claim it as a tax write off

Honestly might be part of it, by going out of spec on the timestamps it probably let’s them more easily insert different length ads

Whenever a news article asks a question, you can always answer no.

Oil companies will simply reduce supply so they can make the same or more $ per barrel

For your experience to only be degraded a little.

For an slightly better but still degraded experience they want you on Google Chrome. But remember please use 360p or lower so their poor servers don’t have to work so hard, they even help you do this by default on mobile!

They make a bunch of the other chips that go into computer devices, and from what I understand it’s binary blob or nothing for a lot of it?
