I was able to get around secure boot by installing the beta on my PS5. From then, I had the pleasure of being unable to enter due to broken menus! Can’t complain for having spent nothing and having little trust in the franchise.

I just refuse to enable it. It makes changing things a hassle.

you will own nothing and be happy

You can still get win 11 without TPM by using Rufus and bypassing TPM which will have to be done for a lot of old PCs and we will have to do it by October this year.

They want to keep windows relevant so hard. Yeah, i enable secure boot, and let some kernel level anti cheat into my system. At least i don't have to play with cheaters. Oh there are still cheaters. So glad

It's crazy to me that people cheat in online games. You really have to be a huge fucking loser to do this.

Small pp energy.

I am not sure about this conspiracy theory of yours: Microsoft does not want third party applications in the kernel space anymore.

a year ago on Mastodon when EA started locking out games like Apex Legends, BF1, V, 2042, etc from Linux I said "I bet you Microsoft is about to launch a handheld and since they have a deal with EA and Gamepass they want EA Exclusivity on their handheld and to lockout Steamdeck/Valve" sure enough a few months later Microsoft announces their Xbox handheld with Asus.

Honestly, if I had the skills I'd be doing that as an explicit fuck you to the draconian anticheat bullshit they force on everyone, because what better fuck you than showing all that effort was for naught, especially close to launch.

EA can go fuck themselves with the world's biggest cactus.

For some people the only things that brings them joy are 1) winning 2) making other people suffer

It’s fun to cheat in games, that’s why we have cheat codes.

Also there’s the competitive side of it where not getting caught is a skill and glitching is just game knowledge.

My machine went into a boot loop and I had to clear CMOS to boot again.

I wonder how many people without the resources to fix a problem like that easily are going to end up without computers for an extended period of time because of this.

Just clear the CMOS.

I had issues aswell where I couldn't boot, and you wanna know why? Because I didn't follow the step by step instructions EA tells you to follow. Follow those instructions, and it'll work just fine.
