[QUOTE="DeepWeb, post: 787946, member: 63811"] You know earlier this decade there were tinfoil hat people who said that the NSA was collecting massive amounts of data, that Bitlocker was broken, that Intel's CPUs were leaking cryptographic keys, that WPA2 was a broken standard, that Kaspersky phones back to the Russian government, that Facebook is selling your private messages to advertisers. :alien::notworthy::alien: It's a great decade for conspiracy theorists and tinfoil hats. All of their suspicions turned out to be true and it raises the question, if those suspicions are true, then what about the others that are still left floating around? My next setup will be a modern AMD CPU and something that has a TPM chip, preferably a Chromebook that I want to connect to my own private server because I have way too many spare HDDs and SSDs lying around when I upgraded to SSD. I think the future is hardware-based security and people moving to their own personal clouds because we are growing increasingly skeptical and that's good. :D [/QUOTE]
