  • TPM is a secure part, a cryptoprocessor with some memory, isolated from everything else, very basically.

    It stores keys and other sensitive data, like your “hello windows pin”… Or any other PIN if you want…

    This secure “box” can also be used for DRM by using the secure nature of the TPM to store the keys, or to encrypt the harddisk of your work laptop. Multiple of uses really. It’s kind of like all piece of technology, it seems like.

    At that point, it’s like you are saying that encryption is bad because it can be used for DRM or validate if a piece of software is valid or not.

    The TPM by itself isn’t bad or related to privacy invasion. Nor the internet or a browser is only used to spy on you.

    There is a limit to the conspiracy…






  • 1070, 3060 and 3050ti.

    On the top of my head:

    • Wayland saga… (it’s fixed)
    • A few kernel version last summer made my 30x0 systems unstable (it’s fixed now, still)
    • The laptop comes with some other NV firmware, but at this day, the system randomly freeze
    • New available drivers would crash, so doing rollbacks was a thing I had to do here and there during the years

    Where AMD is boot and enjoy.

    But anyway, if you can’t get an AMD, the whole thing is moot.








  • There are plenty of games made with C# and Unity.

    You surely played a few of them, let’s be honest.

    So, if you’re asking this question, I guess the answer is: “you don’t even realize it’s happening”…

    Rust marketing; since Rust has became popular, GC became a problem, out of no where, and segfaults became the most terrible bug a software can be afflicted with.

    If C# and Unity are working well for them, good for them.
