    Those “features” are not about security. They’re about uniquely identifying the system without using, “personally identifiable information”.

      Is everyone in this fucking thread Twitter-levels of paranoid to the point you could rival H.P. Lovecraft??? What are ya’ll even saying. Please get some tech literacy. You cannot identify a system through Secure Boot/TPM 2.0. Microsoft and every gaming company with anti-cheats can do that by simply checking all of your hardware’s signatures.

        rofl you ask for tech literacy, yet have no idea how TPM uniquely identifies a computer… Irony is an understatement.

        You’re the exact kind of overconfidant, beligerantly stupid user these corporations pine for. What do you think is included in those hardware signatures? How does Apple use a TPM chip to sign off on what other components are allowed to operate in the machine?

        If you cannot answer those two basic questions, then it becomes very clear which one of us needs more tech literacy, because they’re not only used to uniquely identify your hardware.

        This was funny to read, can’t deny ur right

        The games that require secure boot/tpm already are installing kernel level “malware” so they can do much more with that than they can by knowing if you have tpm or not (which you do because you are playing, so 100% of their userbase will have it).
