Comment Denies water is wet (Score 1) 64

The company also disputed the classification of Water being wet. Later the company disputed the claim of what goes up, must come down. Tomorrow they are expected to file a brief claiming the classification of having trillions upon trillions of dollars, operating the #1 closed source product, and having captive lock in capability is just a way to "provide jobs".

Comment Since sandybridge its been worse (Score 1, Interesting) 55

Since sandybridge its been worse. This was all mostly scrubbed off the net but let me share this. When Sandybridge was released Intel had slides they showed the public and hosted on their site that said this was the first processor with 3G connectivity (before we had 4g/5g/etc). This was sold as "a way to disable a cpu that has been stolen". Immediately it stunk. Who would you call to do this? Intel?

This was around the same time Microsoft was trying to rollout Palladium which was their new DRM at the time everyone knew was going to turn into what today is.

Then the 3G stuff all was silently not brought up again and scrubbed from past pages. If you look hard enough you can go find mentions of this on your own. Similar to the old Microsoft Telemetry pages that mentioned "employees could remotely access your computer even if off to download relevant files relating to a support request generated by Telemetry."

Then that was all scrubbed too.

You people are fools for not actually archiving anything.

The people in charge of crypto are captive to the governments and would never increase key size more than just a smidge to make it appear safe. They will quote needing to support low power devices as their reason, when in reality it keeps things just weak enough for their super computers then we see later some other flaw reducing security effectiveness to essentially zero.

Happens every time. We canâ(TM)t have a strong crypto meant for people with real computers. Machines with a 5080TI card capable of doing real crypto have to use the crappy weak stuff cellphones can use. There will never be security until these people go.
