Age verification started with porn and social media. Now, governments are passing laws requiring operating systems to collect your age before you can use your computer at all.
Pardon me, but do have a quote from any of these links that actually talks about age verification? I skimmed through them and didn’t find anything substantial
Just like Alcohol & Guns, in order to activate these vendor locked motherboards + CPUs, sellers will be required to attestate proper identification in order to unlock these killswitched devices.
All they are waiting on is for the masses to accept buying these. Otherwise you will not be able to compute.
Unless we all collectively operate a fabrication facility, you will have no options.
Decrypting? I don’t think any of the similar-strength protection measures which have been defeated were done by brute-forcing the decryption key. There would undoubtedly be attacks which exploit other flaws.
That said, I agree that libre hardware would be the better option.
🤝 I already Q.E.D. what I intended 🧵.
You’ll have to talk to my wife if you desire further engagement regarding novel ways to bypass these attestations. But directly definancing these Nazis/Zionists is far more impactful ventures.
With that firmware?
Huh?
You own and operate thyne hardware’s firmware?
Do you think age verification is being built into the firmware?
I know so.

The firmware gotta somehow interact with the userspace right? What if we just switched to FreeBSD or some other OS?
Theres gotta be some way to weasel trough this.
In the locked UEFI, sure…
By holding corporations accountable?
Couldn’t this be avoided by simply not updating the bios?
read my latest reply to artyom: no
there’re dudes rolling around with 80s datsun trucks in a world with emission hardware lockin
it’s a matter of how much effort you’ll be willing to invest getting around it
Billions of years decrypting these attestation ciphers is not in my “investment” scope.
Try [email protected] hardware.

not like you get a choice other than to comply
being upset about it here won’t do much
I don’t think you are in my scope either:
What computer have you designed?
we talking hardware or software here and how deep does one need to go for it to count?
do i have to mine my own silicon? maybe rub some silk on amber to generate my own electricity
Are you free to alter anything? Is your scope not the 4 freedoms?
If you want to add this to your scope, go for it.
I still don’t see your schematics, so I believe our negotiations are over.
