    Good.

    We always knew it was there. They sold their soul to the NSA decades ago.

      I remember the day I saw the “Intel! Inside” commercial and the logo, and I thought, I don’t fucking trust this company.

      Yeah no shit Intel inside, you’ve got every fucking three letter agency inside.

      I knew it was over the day they introduced UEFI and TPM.

          Pen and paper.

          And be suspicious about the paper.

    Seems like every week there is another reason why I’m thankful I switched to Linux a few years ago.

      Only thing I find annoying with full volume LUKS encryption is that it makes it difficult to resize partitions, it’s a whole thing, but it’s a minor hassle and not something I’d do every day anyway.

        I like to use btrfs subvolumes inside a luks lvm volume for this reason.

          What? Btrfs subvolumes are basically the same as logical volumes. That’s somewhat redundant.

            Your correct. It is redundant. I think I needed the lvm layer to get an installer to recognize the luks partition. Can’t remember if it’s Pop or Fedora. That installer bug might be fixed now though. One day I’ll check and update my drive so its just using btrfs on luks.

    I am so shocked! Well I instantly fucking knew it the second I learned about BitLocker back when and never EVER trusted it, but still, it is shocking!

      Wow, I can’t believe your satire is getting downvoted, and so much. I think you would have been better off just posting shocked_pikachu_face.jpg.
