Just because she was a "better" option than the previous person, of which you have given exactly one example, does not mean she deserves to stick around. Maybe there are no better options in the running right now. But if Brooke Jenkins is really your best option, that's kinda sad.

is not a person that can be trusted. She has multiple counts of prosecutorial misconduct and the CA State Bar put her in a mandatory diversion program. She also nepotically hired/promoted Monifa Willis all the way to Chief of Staff of the San Francisco District Attorney's Office. Monifa Willis has absolutely no legal or law experience or education.

Flock cameras have nothing to do with the decrease while the increased patrols have everything to do with the reduction. Brooke Jenkins is a moron.

Then you fundamentally do not understand. Everyone has a practical use for them and they should have been defaulted to on since their inception, but they weren't because no one required them.

So, to recap, everyone should have TPM and Secure Boot enabled and no one should install anything from Riot that requires Vanguard because it is spyware/malware.

Completely wrong again. Many motherboards come preconfigured to trust Microsoft signing keys and not Linux. The shim allow users to use those Microsoft keys. However, you can also enroll your own MOK and bypass the shim and everything Microsoft altogether - which is what I do. It's pretty easy.

First of all...

TPM 2.0 could already be brute-forced within 45 minutes with hardware from 10+ years ago.

No. TPM 2.0 has anti-hammering protections and timer lockouts preventing brute force attacks. Not sure what you're thinking or talking about.

However, it is in full control by Microsoft.

No, it's not. I have both enabled for my Linux distro to use. Neither my distro nor Microsoft control Secure Boot or it's process.

In practice, each is much less effective as the narrative wants us to believe. When combined, things don't fare that much better.

This is just wrong. They are factually security improvements. Each one is very effective at their job. And they do their jobs well together. As long as you aren't expecting them to magically do more than they advertise, no one should be unhappy about turning these on. Only a complete moron would not want to turn them on.

The "bonus" for Microsoft is that with those security measures, they have far more control over your computer than anyone should want.

No, they don't. Microsoft doesn't own or control those processes. The only semi-related Microsoft specific thing is BitLocker, which doesn't require TPM or Secure Boot to function, but can and will use the TPM, if available.
