Why Are People TPM Will Be Abused?

Isn't TPM a good thing? It gives you more security from being hacked. Why are people afraid of it?

i have no idea what it does and therefore i don't need nor want it on my machine

Who is People TPM?

It turns your PC into a locked piece piece of shit like a phone were doing things that big corporations don't like (e.g. rooting your phone today, maybe installing a fucking compiler tomorrow who knows) they will shut down service to you without ifs or buts. If you jailbreak, they deny you service.

does it prevent me from installing linux?

hardware 'advancements' are some of the dumbest shit manufacturers could come up with, all people care about is software

The paranoid would find TPM useful if they're a target of a state actor, don't have the machine on their person all the time, and Most Importantly, the individual has the ability to put their own key on the TPM, and not at all the OEM.
As long as sufficiently high entropy RSA encryption is trusted and there continues exists no algorithm that derives the private key from the public key for a GOOD implementation of key generation, and the TPM is not compromised, it could verify every part of the computer or else panic.
But of course Windows 11 is so far from your consideration at that point that you wouldn't want the trusted platform module just to boot windows.
Some corporate accounts may have this level of access and control over their enterprise hardware, but there exists no mainline hardware vendor who would grant this sort of control to the public. Instead it's used to lock out consumers for their own good.

>It gives you more security from being hacked.
does no such thing and there's zero evidence to support your schizo claim. most implementations of TPM have been hacked or exploited. apple's t2 system was hacked within weeks after its release and can't be patched. people have worked out how to disable it completely from windows 11 so any worry about its usage doesn't matter because the operating system will no longer have access to it.

Can TPM be removed and still have the computer function or are pre tpm computers going to become very rare and sought out for?

maybe installed copyrighted stuff you didnt pay for, who knows? the future is now

>does it prevent me from installing linux?
doesn't prevent you from doing anything. you already have tpm if you have a machine under 10 years old.

>you will see ultra-powerful computers be used for nothing more than facebook and video streaming in 10 years
>you won’t even be able to run an adblock or content won’t run because $security
I guess the year of linux on desktop might eventually come after all

>Can TPM be removed
can't be removed but it can be disabled. operating systems like windows 11 incorporated tpm requirements solely to try and force people to upgrade to newer machines while providing no additional security benefit. people figured out how to disable window's tpm requirement within the first few weeks of release so it can be run on any pc despite how old it is.

not how any of this works, computer illiterate.

You’d have to be blind, dead and dumb to not realize windows is going full steam into being yet another walled garden with the abomination that is 11. Except instead of locking down shit cus vertical integration like apple they’ll just force the lock-in by leaning on hardware manufacturers that sell to normies
The trajectory was rather clear ever since 10 brought in enough telemetry, adds and other bloat that you run a bunch of scripts to get it under control right after installing the OS

Lots of FUD in this thread, on par for Any Forums.

A TPM is a hardware chip that can perform cryptographic functions and store cryptographic measurements of your operating system. Each TPM also has an asymmetric key pair burned into the chip that can be used to provide attestation that certain functions were performed using that specific chip. Many CPUs have TPMs integrated in them. People are afraid of them partly because they don't actually understand what they do, but also partly because they CAN be used to do some unfortunate things like allow Windows to refuse to boot if you've modified your computer or the boot image in some way. In the same way it can also make you more secure, protecting your OS from unauthorized modifications to the boot image. TPMs can be powerful in distributed environments where a node must pass remote boot attestation before being granted some private secret it needs to begin doing work as a trusted part of the system.

Hardware TPM is pretty good, anyone without the Key on 2.x or later is basically boned from your laptop data.
>but muh government boogie man
Sure they can probably open it, but 99.9% of all users are never going to run into that situation.

Basically no reason not to use it if you have it especially if you go out with your laptop a lot. Jamal ain't getting past the preboot screen, enjoy your brick.

I'll slit your throat, dumb esl nigger

yes sir the TPM gives much security, it is not a spyware device sir

So it will be like a hardware key that can't be modified that will be used to track us across the web?

it's built to restrict what people can do to a computer
this is a good thing for a corporate environment
this is not a good thing for a personal environment
the technology needed to fully compensate for pebcak would make said device functionally useless for 99% of the population
