  • Microsoft Gave FBI Keys to Unlock Encrypted Data, Exposing Major Privacy Flaw

    Jump

  • You can also disable it with a Group Policy too and delete any keys that were uploaded to Microsoft with manage-bde while adding your own keys, but for the average person Bitlocker is going to be how it comes by default.

    Pre-builts are even worse because that's another party who has had access to your keys and there are not laws that they would violate by keeping copies (for your convenience, of course)

  • Yeah, but giving up my Apex Legends career and most significant life investment is a lot harder than tolerating a little fascism, what with me being a white person and all.

  • If only there were another operating system that people could use rather than have their privacy and security raked over the coals by poor design fueled by next quarter's profits.

    It's a shame that, according to a recent study of social media respondents, 98% of the Internet are Professional Valorant streamers, who play League of Legends and side hustle as a Mechanical Engineer and Digital Artist or they could browse around the world of alternative operating system and mayhaps find some other Operating System which fits their needs (TempleOS).

  • Oh no, who could have possibly seen this coming when Microsoft decided to back up your full-disk encryption key automatically to OneDrive.

    Smart of them to deploy automatic full disk encryption just as open source projects like Trucrypt and Veracrypt were starting to become mainstream, capturing their market share (Netscape Navigator-style). Very incompetent of them to include many glaring backdoors that completely defeats the encryption that they offer.

    In addition to being vulnerable to law enforcement through subpoenas on the stored key. Anytime you run a Windows update and the system has to reboot, it writes a 'clear key' to the hard drive which can be easily retrieved if the disk is stolen and also they bypass TPM Validation.

    You know, the thing that is so important to have that you were forced to buy an entirely new computer... it is not active during a system update and anybody who had access to your hard drive can write arbitrary code into your system files.

    Well, you would think that this isn't very useful, after all they would have to have pretty good timing to catch you updating your computer to remove the hard drive, right?

    Nope, if they steal your whole computer and plug it into power and a network connection, the next time a Windows update hits the system will automatically apply the update (absent a very specific Group Policy) and write the full-disk encryption key to the hard drive before shutting down.

    I'm no expert computerologist, but I think that any system that requires anybody but you to have your key is insecure. If this is the kind of poor design choices that they make in regards to disk encryption then I would personally have no confidence that their proprietary code is not equally porous.

  • In some sense they are not wrong.

    The average person has no idea how technology works because these companies do everything for them for free in exchange for their private data.

    It used to be common that kids would learn how to use computers to pirate music and burn CDs. Now the incentives to learn (free music/movies) is gone because Spotify and Google give you all you want for the low price of your privacy and eternal dependency on them for access to the fruits of technology.

    Getting your privacy back means giving up those conveniences and learning to use the technology that you depend on. For most people that is too much to ask.

    "Luckily" the deluge of algorithm enabled propaganda and resultant fascist resurgence have some people questioning this bargain.

  • Elastocaloric coolers are not new. There are even some versions that you can buy right now, they usually for niche industrial use and have their own set of problems, namely that they're not remotely as efficient as vapor compression so it costs more and moves less heat.

    The breakthrough here was discovering a different alloy that allows sub-zero temperatures. It doesn't change the efficiency which is the primary barrier to adoption.
