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.

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

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

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?
