It's easy to tell people how to bypass enabling the feature, you play the slow game. They're waiting for Windows 10 to fade out too. "Oh look you've beaten TPM.. so clever" but when 90% of machines have it enabled, they will switch on DRM for Netflix and leave you unable to play things. They say you chose to tamper with DRM security and that's why you can't watch things.

In terms of conspiracy, motherboards components cost money. TPM adds risk to the operating system. They features are being shipped because they plan to use them. It's not just for the giggles.

Because they haven’t paid taxes to run the services they want to consume.

Because we can’t all live in the same place and people shouldn’t be forcibly evicted from their homes by violent people.

Because it ruin the lives of people who don’t live on the absolutely lowest rung of quality of life.

The argument against abortion is that it stops the next Jesus coming. Since Mary was a virgin why don’t we just ban abortions for Virgins. It seems like a fair compromise.

If you don’t have a valid token generated by the hardware device on your machine, the website can just refuse to serve you.

A hacked copy of windows wouldnt boot with TPM switched on.

The TPM module only generates valid tokens it if your boot sequence isn’t tampered. That boot sequence can force your machine to validate itself with windows servers to ensure it isn’t hacked.

A hacked copy of Windows may be prevented from working when you go online.

This hits home. Discord is a terrible product I don’t know why anyone likes it.

What people really mean when they say this is

it’s in the last place you think to look

This again is a misnomer because, not just because you stop looking… but because people find it hard to admit things are lost. All part of the half serious, half ridiculous psuedo science of Findology (disclaimer: my own blog)

Only for desktop computers.

Windows 11 requires TPM 2.0 to be enabled. With this, Microsoft and Chrome have built a complete end to end DRM to the BIOS and hardware level.

This gives the end users nothing but is wonderful for Hollywood.

I just want remind everyone that Windows 11 requires your computer to ship with TPM2.0 enabled. This will complete the circuit meaning remote streaming websites can ensure you don’t have DRM on your machine.

TPM is a security token loaded into the firmware of the BIOS put in by the manufacturer to ensure you haven’t tampered with the operating system as shipped and controlled by them.

That will be nice for those websites.
