because in normal circumstances what happens does not get recorded. I don’t care about people who look at me. their ability to do that does not cause anything bad. their vision and hearing does not end up in some kind of database that can be used for automated analysis
it means android api changes, google play restrictions and removals
afaik public officials are usually a different legal category that limit them in their freedoms. maybe it’s an EU thing though, but I think recording their actions is explicitly allowed
But I also think you have no expectations of privacy in public.
yes I do. we are not going outside the house to become some kind of an actor. we also cannot just “go away”, avoid some places because either that’s where we live, where we work, or where we need to pass to travel between these places. but I guess it is easy to tell the “problematic” people to just go way.
I like pulling up traffic cameras and others local places cameras to see if cool things are going on.
“you should have no expectations of privacy in public because I want to watch if something cool happens on a traffic camera”
maybe go play sims if you want to behave like some god, watching peoples lives who did not consent to it, but you could also just watch some fucked up reality show on TV
maybe it was a bit harsh, sorry for that, but I don’t know how to get the point across with better words.
ofc neighbour does not want to record them, personally, but obviously they personally are negatively affected, against their will.
don’t forget that people aren’t leaving the house for the chance to be a public actor.
op is creeped out not by science, but by the possibility of per-building analysis
I think their point is about mandating in construction code to have per-house wastewater analysis devices
its funny how the up and down votes are almost in sync for all comments.
let me clarify for everyone: email is not needed for a selfhosted setup, and shouldn’t be. I am in doubt that the majority of selfhosters run mail servers.
I think there’s some linux command to query the installed keys, but here I have only found the command for listing all the installed mok keys: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface/Secure_Boot
I can boot into Windows through the BIOS using only the MS-signed bootloader instead of GRUB or any chain loader, and Windows itself considers Secure Boot to be enabled successfully.
I assume that’s because your motherboard still has the microsoft keys installed besides the MOK keys, and it verified the bootloader with that. thats why it accepts the ms signed bootloader. as I know not all motherboards allow removing it, and there are a few buggy ones that get hard bricked if you do that.
Microsoft provides SB shims for some linux distributions, so it wouldn’t mean locking out all linux players.
right, you can look at it that way too. but what the consumers see (and feel) is that the game tells what kind of software you can have, even when that is not related to the game. and that’s what’s not usual.
this is less obvious on windows, because it’s not that common to be modified by users in a way that matters here, as the checks are kind of loose, but on android it’s quite different, and windows is likely to get the same treatment, which is the reason why valve is pouring so much money into linux
these games only accept the secure boot setup where the root key is that of microsoft’s. that means that you either need windows with a pre-approved configuration in some regards (notable difference: any foss kernel drivers are nono because they won’t ever be signed) or a linux system for which microsoft gives a secureboot shim with whatever further restrictions.
the consequences are more obvious if you look at android as an example. It’s not called secure boot there, but android verified boot, and the turning off of it is called “bootloader unlocking”. very few phones support installing your own signing keys so you can’t take advantage of it with a bloatless android distribution. but even on phones that do, there are many apps that require a locked bootloader with the factory keys, including banking apps, nfc payment apps, government apps (including those that are required to access the online government account), entertainment apps with strict DRM, …
its like you are intentionally trying to misunderstand what they are saying, good work at it. Obviously, they didn’t deem SB and TPM unusual, but the types of software (entertainment industry products) demanding it while the software of the security industry does not.
but it’s not a pointless requirement or some grand conspiracy to make people buy new hardware.
consumers won’t benefit from this functionality, but many industries will in the foreseeable future
start going down the technical path with Linux to extend the life further.
linux won’t fix this kind of shit, because this is about an arbitrary limitation of wanting to lock the owner out of their own system. these malware companies won’t ever recognize a free linux setup as “verified”
TPM is enterprise functionality, useless for most consumers. useful for locking down control ower hardware against “unathorized personnel”
Secure Boot is not enough for these malware. They want SB rooted in MS keys. You using a Machine Owner Key? Too bad, go away! they say
all they want is get more control over your hardware, and less of it for you
the tpm does not add any security whatsoever for windows 11, and secure boot is being used to lock your control out of your own system. secure boot enabled with machine owner keys wouldn’t be enough either for these games
everyone else will use this crap, and dumb people will be happy
There’s a saying where everyone’s rights only extend until it infringes upon that of others. here you can’t record me in public without my written permission, just as I can’t record you. Similarly:
you can take photos all you want until unconsenting people are not visible on it. you have the right to take photos. until it infringes upon the basic human right to privacy of others. here in Europe people have more rights than just being allowed to stay silent.
what? are you arguing that the weather has a right to privacy??
that’s just commercial entities… no private information is exposed there. for air traffic, right there are private jets, but like public servants, that should just be an additional category of people who have less rights because of their power to keep in check. also the way air traffic coordination works it cannot really be restricted.
if. but better they just not go up, but instead, down.
you know, somewhat me too. like the court room recordings. but I would only want it released if I agree to it, and otherwise there can still be written transcripts, redacted from private info at the few points where needed. but only if the person is not a public servant or otherwise wielding a lot of power (e.g. through highly outstanding wealth).
yeah but the way GPS works, it does not expose any information about the user. devices just receive precise timestamp and sat constellation info, GPS itself does not send any information.
it was not that long!
