I saw that on an article about the MiG switch before it came out and it was saying at the time that you could still fake certs and Nintendo didn't have a monitoring system in place for it.
I'm sure they've changed it now though especially from that other users comment you replied to but was halfway hoping someone might tell me it was still possible.
Are you saying that increasing prices of a good or service to the point where people don't want to pay for it anymore doesn't contribute to a rise in black market sales and distribution of the good or service?
I think you're mistaken.
Huh I wonder if they'll ever figure out the correlation there...
Sounds too European for the "land of the free"
Shit, Google would probably offer a private jet fuck an RV.
Its almost as if even the better party of the two still has its own agenda that its trying to fulfill.
One that isn't necessarily in our best interests.
Of course there is a worse side of the coin but you gotta love how any time it is something that really fucks the people good (especially about privacy) they all suddenly magically agree and can pass it in moments.
The fact that even the most progressive one out of the bunch who's supposed to be the way forward and should've had that nomination last time even voted yes on it should jolt everyone awake. But it will not.
We were warned about a two party system.
Sure, a couple pounds or something.
5+ or 10+ and that's their life on the line to protect. If they lose that, its over. Back to zero.
For someone like that that would be their entire life savings/work gone in seconds. You lose that product and can't serve you lose your clientele. Forever.
Can't buy groceries with no money. Your kids go hungry or miss school because you cant pay your car note and you get the cops at your door. Then you got some real problems.
This is assuming of course that whoever robs you doesn't also have a gun and uses it immediately and kill your ass.
Depending on the situation, could be a lot more loss than you're thinking.
I think the dumbest part of this would be someone in that line of work inviting people in or having them show up to their house in the first place. Super fucking stupid. If someone knows you have something that makes a lot of money they will try and take it from you eventually.
But idk I'm just some guy who watches crime shows.
The fact that you can't discern what it is doing and it can't be disabled makes it invasive software. There's no shortage of qualified experts who agree with what I said and many others who point out glaring security vulnerabilities that come with using it. I linked a few for your convenience.

I'd say with all of the above at the very least its invasive software that has complete access to your system and all of its files and processes.
Spyware by definition is "Any malicious software that is designed to take partial or full control of a computer's operation without the knowledge of its user." The fact that you can't look into what all it can do makes it capable of doing this.
Oh you mean they're going to underclock the expensive new shit I bought and have it underperform to fix their fuck up?
What an unacceptable solution.
Its a "trusted" execution environment for the system. So basically, it has access over your entire system and there's no way to know what it is doing because it is proprietary and many people and third party security groups have expressed concerns about it before and asked them to open source the code that runs it and they will not do it.
Intel has a similar system the Intel Management Engine but you can disable that after bootup and also run it on open source bios so that it is essentially neutered. You cannot do that with AMD.
The NSA disables and removes Intel ME on their systems, so it seems like there's a very real threat from these proprietary systems that have complete and entire control over every aspect of the machine and software running it.
Its the only chip that runs on open source bios and you can completely disable the Intel ME after boot up.
AMD's PSP is 100% proprietary spyware that can't be disabled or manipulated into not running.
Wait are you talking about without the disc drive or even with it?
