Intel investigating leak of Intel Boot Guard private keys after MSI breach

Annnnnnnnnnnnnd there goes a UEFI security setback.

Intel's Boot Guard has been made effectively useless. With the key leak, threat actors can sign malicious firmware so it's "valid."

I see a lot of people believe there is no way to have #privacy online. Corporations have pushed so hard that many are persuaded and disillusioned.

Privacy-compliant alternative software exists and it's up to you to choose and promote it.

Tracking tools are not required but wanted technologies: it is not something inevitable inside a software.

When you see it that way, your approach to software change and you will also learn to love #ethical software as you know how to appreciate organic food.

Just have to vent a bit. The #GoogleMaps app has the most frustrating interface I have ever used.

It makes no sense at all. What kind of #UI paradigm is it using!? The back button doesn't even always take you back! The whole interface keeps on assuming what I want and getting in the way.

@randulo I want the Twitter trolls to stay over there :)

@PetabyteStudios Oh

@Big_Diggity It has great specs.
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X (a desktop CPU!). 8-core 16-thread, and 32MB L3 cache. Max clock speed is 4.4GHz.
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Mobile. 6GB VRAM.
RAM: 32GB, 3200MHz, dual-channel.
Good I/O, too 😉

@Big_Diggity It's all too easy!

Got a new laptop — a #System76 #ServalWS! This lap-top desktop has been one of my dream machines for a while, and I didn't think I'd ever get my hands on one (yet alone see one!).

I got it from #Ebay, and I've had it for almost a month now. I really like it.s

@Big_Diggity Rule of thumb: if you can't point to where your data is physically stored, you don't own it.
