Boot/root floppies early '92

A scared population is easier to control. Brainwashing 101. The fact that people fall so easily to these ploys is scary. It’s like the Internet works backwards on many people. God was right. Humans don’t deserve knowledge. In my best Nicholson impression: They can’t handle the information!

Sometimes women want a real man with real skills, not a 25-year-old boy living with his parents. Young healthy women are attractive. Win-win.

True but I was only referring to how they let you fully unlock and replace the trust keys on the Pixel. So they at least pretend to give some freedom, for now.

To be clear I think pretty much all of these companies, Google, Apple, Oracle, Microsoft, etc are outright melavanent. The app ecosystem and buy-in is a whole other ball of suck.

It’s the way everything is moving. Hardware protected keys can be very useful but it’s a double edged sword. It’s more secure but also allows companies to lock consumers out.

We need rules that say when this tech is used the consumer still gets full control over it. Like what Google does with their Pixel phones and the Titan chip. Not what Apple does.
