Most gaming boards don't come with a TPM chip right?


No idea about "most", but for example, I have an Asus Prime X470 Pro. It has a 14-pin TPM connector, but the module is separate. Looks like they are not expensive[0], but... sold separately.

However there is also an fTPM setting available (apparently built in, but I haven't tested that yet.)

I've only ever seen gaming mobos with those 14-pin TPM connectors and no module. There's also really no reason to use a TPM module, as far as I can tell.


Full disk encryption for one thing.

Full disk backdoor. TPM has a long history of backdoorig.


They tried modernizing with Windows RT, which was actually very smooth and functional if it wasn't so locked down.


Wasn't RT just windows 8 with an ARM build target and win32 stuff removed so they could sell cheaper tablets?

So if you wanted an "unlocked" windows RT, couldn't you just have run windows 8?


>win32 stuff removed

Win32 was not removed from Windows RT, but your access to it (if your name wasn't "Microsoft"; because that low-level access was reportedly how they got Office on it) was.

And because of Secure Boot, which (unlike x86, for now) is mandated enabled for Windows on ARM systems, you had to wait for an unpatchable security hole in the booting process (which, while it exists, wasn't relevant until past the end of the Surface RT's lifecycle), you couldn't run full Windows 8 or a tablet-first Linux distro.


It's not mandated on for the newer Windows on Arm64 systems, but is configurable there.

Windows RT was just Windows 8 with a locked code signing policy, yup. And yes, Office on Windows RT was Win32, as were File Explorer, MMC, ... it's just recompiled Win8 after all.

It's why Apple is the best at what they do. Their apps are consistent for years.


Why is every string in all lowercase? It reminds me of tumblr..


We thought it looked playful, friendly that way, and less like a boring archival-solution. We liked that persona.


It's doesn't list how much each one has... Not very useful.


Power law distributions suggest that if you can get a few datapoints much of the rest is roughly estimable.

Rankings are less utterly useless than first appears.


The digital edition does, but as was correctly pointed out, it's not particularly useful information.


What if impressionists file first?
