My computer will never require an age check. Because it is mine.

    You own and operate thyne hardware's firmware?

    Do you think age verification is being built into the firmware?

    Pardon me, but do have a quote from any of these links that actually talks about age verification? I skimmed through them and didn’t find anything substantial

    Just like Alcohol & Guns, in order to activate these vendor locked motherboards + CPUs, sellers will be required to attestate proper identification in order to unlock these killswitched devices.
    All they are waiting on is for the masses to accept buying these. Otherwise you will not be able to compute.

    Unless we all collectively operate a fabrication facility, you will have no options.

    The firmware gotta somehow interact with the userspace right? What if we just switched to FreeBSD or some other OS?

    Theres gotta be some way to weasel trough this.

    In the locked UEFI, sure…

    weasel trough this.

    By holding corporations accountable?

    Couldn't this be avoided by simply not updating the bios?

    there’re dudes rolling around with 80s datsun trucks in a world with emission hardware lockin

    it’s a matter of how much effort you’ll be willing to invest getting around it

    Billions of years decrypting these attestation ciphers is not in my “investment” scope.
    Try !libreculture@lemmy.ca hardware.

    Decrypting? I don't think any of the similar-strength protection measures which have been defeated were done by brute-forcing the decryption key. There would undoubtedly be attacks which exploit other flaws.

    That said, I agree that libre hardware would be the better option.

    🤝 I already Q.E.D. what I intended 🧵.
    You’ll have to talk to my wife if you desire further engagement regarding novel ways to bypass these attestations. But directly definancing these Nazis/Zionists is far more impactful ventures.

    not like you get a choice other than to comply

    being upset about it here won’t do much

    I don't think you are in my scope either:
    What computer have you designed?

    we talking hardware or software here and how deep does one need to go for it to count?

    do i have to mine my own silicon? maybe rub some silk on amber to generate my own electricity

    Are you free to alter anything? Is your scope not the 4 freedoms?

    do i have to mine my own silicon? maybe rub some silk on amber to generate my own electricity

    If you want to add this to your scope, go for it.
    I still don't see your schematics, so I believe our negotiations are over.

    I pressume you know nothing about privacy, since you're here asking me what my privacy model is, unlike yours. How far are you willing to enable common everyday folks privacy tooling?

    I don't go to the threadiverse to engage in sophistry.

    Do you publish open hardware, or are we done engaging your inability to produce privacy respecting hardware?

    i just don’t care

    you are over complicating the fuck out of this in a painfully confidently correct kinda way

    Then delete all your comments to this thread.

    I only engaged because it should provide educational for the ignoble.

    Try getting educated, maybe you’lll find out why there isn't a collectively owned fab.
