Using End-to-End encryption will no longer be a guaranteed safe method of communication. A new method will have to be invented as approaches using apps from Signal, Whatsapp, Telegram and others will no longer provide this safety. This is something the 3-Letter agencies have wanted for many years. And they have gotten their way.

In either case, they will just make new hardware and the lemmings will buy it.

I am currently using a desktop computer I built from scratch over 12 years ago. I won't change as long as it still works. I have some older PCs, and I might stock up on some processors and memory in case I need them in the future. I don't use cellphones, tablets, or laptops, so I don't worry about them. If I need a laptop, I have an old one, old enough that it came with XP. I've already put Linux on it as dual boot for a try out. As soon as I can get straight with software, I'll switch the desktop to Linux. But I use some specialized software that I'd have to run under WINE or other emulator until the software gets ported or rewritten.

"Rangers detail arms cache Hand grenades and more than 1 million rounds of ammunition have been pulled from the ashes of the Branch Davidian home, a court document says. By The Associated Press 1 min. readView original Hand grenades and more than 1 million rounds of ammunition have been pulled from the ashes of the Branch Davidian home, a court document says. Evidence of a stockpiled arsenal seems to support claims by federal agents who tried to serve the religious sect with search and arrest warrants for illegal weapons. The document, filed Friday in federal court, is the first public accounting of what Texas Rangers have found in the charred ruins of the Davidian compound. The Rangers, who are heading the investigation into the cult’s 51-day standoff with authorities and its aftermath, collected almost 2,000 pieces of evidence by late last week, the document says. That number does not include bullet casings. Assistant U.S. Attorney W. Ray Jahn wrote in his report that investigators have recovered 200 recognizable firearms, numerous gun parts and tools that could be used to manufacture automatic weapons. “Initial and preliminary examination of these weapons indicate they included (semi-or fully-) automatic weapons and two .50- caliber weapons,” Jahn said, The document did not make clear whether the guns were legal semiautomatic weapons or had been converted for automatic fire. The gun battle Feb. 28 erupted when agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms attempted to arrest cult leader Vernon Howell. Four federal agents and six Branch Davidians were killed. Investigators have removed 78 bodies from the burned-out compound site."

I see several people commenting about the "sheep" who are defeatists and who give up citing that "it's no use". I agree with your frustration. But also consider how the opposition has demoralized people like us and our attempts. As somebody who is very privacy conscious, it can be exhausting when, after all, the opposition is constantly innovating and evolving to overcome our best privacy measures. To put it another way, Jason Bourne is one heck of a character who makes for one hell of a movie. Could you imagine if you were Jason Bourne and had to maintain that same level of intensity for every waking (and technically sleeping) moment of your life? It's not sustainable. At least not when you factor in all the other stressors and rigors of life. 1. Make a living 2. Pay all the bills as inflation continues to eat away at your spending power. 3. Look after your kids and/or other dependent family members. 4. Feed yourself and those dependents high-quality food (at a time where you are actively being poisoned by low-quality, contaminated, or adulterated food). A whole other rabbit hole to dive down (in addition to the privacy rabbit hole) as it becomes more difficult to identify "good food" to buy. 5. Acquire a living space that will allow you to grow at least some of your own food. 6. Learn how to grow your own food. 7. Become more self sufficient. Again, I am not proposing being a defeatist, but it is quite an undertaking as you can see how quickly life becomes a chain reaction of rabbit holes if we choose to go against the grain and still thrive.

This feels a lot like the scares that happened when TPM burst into the scene under the guise of easier encrypted shopping or whatever, and suddenly it became a requirement for Windows. In order to keep selling new motherboards, the manufacturers put switches in the BIOS to completely disable the things by default. They effectively neutered the TPM threat in order to keep their customers. Can we hope that manufacturers will make the right call again and disable NPU devices that nobody wants?

@terrydaktyllus1320 Месяц назад

You need to break things down a little better. When an OS "supports" a piece of hardware, like TPM or an NPU chip, it simply provides a "driver" that allows a userspace application to access and user that device. It's the application, not the OS, that does nefarious things with chip - therefore you only use applications you can trust, which essentially means using Open Source applications. Intel Management Engine (IME) is a classic example of this concept. In theory, IME could be used to gain access to a computer, but there have been no real world reports of that actually happening - mainly because the deployment of "defence in depth" would stop it being used and you would need to install an application that could "talk" to the IME anyway.

@@cyclemoto8744 A backdoor is always detectable because it puts packets over the network that can by sniffed and analysed - even if encryption stops the contents of packets being analysed, the metadata shows you where it's going to and what protocol it's using. A piece of hardware relies on possibly three components - a driver, maybe custom firmware, and the an application to use that hardware. If the driver and application are Open Source, then nefarious activity can be checked. Custom closed firmware can't be checked but you can trace packets going over the network - so I would say the risk of any actual back doors being present in Open Source is extremely low.

It was just nerd stuff that took 20 minutes to load a web page line by line. It was a lower percentage of people whos hobby was anything computing or gaming compared to now. Then it boomed with smartphones and internet advancements and gaming. But now people are getting fed up with all these data leaks, privacy concerns, paying for 10 different streaming services, my last ISP made me pay an additional 50 a month to bypass their 1tb data cap, the overly aggressive advertising, google killing ad blockers, all these micro transcations being embedded in everything, overly sensitive profanity filtering, AI taking over. So much more. Obviously the internet will never outright die. I'm not claiming that. But eventually people will break and move on. The internet isnt this new fascinating piece of tech that everyone is curious to explore. Now its just another part of our daily life like a car.

By 1997, even my wife was interested in computers, when I showed her that the NASA channel was showing the Mars rover landing and the first photos from Mars by the rover. Even back in the 1980s, there were thousands of BBS numbers in the US, a half dozen in my town. They were Bulletin Board Systems, and you could access them via dialup.

You’re so on point with your observation that the majority of people will not want to engage in the extra step for E2E encryption! Folks are way too coddled by conveniences in this post-lockdown era. Worse than pre-2020! We’re at the point where we can order groceries that’ll get delivered right at our doorstep. Fast food, other items, same-day delivery services, on-demand streaming, all has led to people being complacent, lazy and unwilling to put in effort into things like security. Try getting a high schooler (much less an Adult) today to go for a walk in a state park! Nigh impossible. We’re doomed as a civilization, but, as always there’ll be the few who’ll wait out the darkness. As a wonderful line from one of my favourite movies, The Crow, “It can’t rain all the time.”

Soldering a special chip to make PS1's read pirated CD's was sort of commonplace back in the early 2000's. Hopefully it will be commonplace for computer technicians to be able to remove these NPU's in the future, if necessary.

@terrydaktyllus1320 Месяц назад

If the device checks for the presence of the NPU as it tries to start up and then won't start up while giving you an "NPU not found" error, then you have a problem.

@@bite-sizedshorts9635 "Reflash the BIOS and change the way the computer starts up." Why would a modern NPU machine have a BIOS? Sure it's more likely to have EFI.

"I can do almost anything with those, even prank my boss years ago." Good for you, I just focused on doing my job. It's probably why I have 42 years with computers and you only have 40+ years with computers, junior. "He only knew it was me because I was the only person in the firm smart enough to do it."
