minus-squareEggymatrix@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up17arrow-down8·5 days agoI get your pc, “tamper” it, then i install a fake bios that tells you all is well and that your tpm and secureboot and whatever else bullcrap they invent is still happy. See the problem?
minus-squareCorngood@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8arrow-down3·5 days agoIt won’t boot though, because the keys to decrypt the system are stored in the TPM. Sure you could replace the whole OS, but that’s going to be very obvious and won’t allow you access to the data.

minus-squarePHLAK@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7arrow-down2·5 days agoIf you enable Secure Boot you should also set a BIOS password for this very reason.
minus-squareSaleh@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12arrow-down1·5 days agoSo, if you set a bios password either way, which benefit does secureboot give?
minus-squarejjjalljs@ttrpg.networklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down1·5 days agoI think you can reset a bios password by taking the CMOS battery out or something?
minus-squareAlphaOmega@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·5 days agoNot sure if this works these days, but on older systems there was a reset bios config jumper and pulling the cmos battery.
minus-squareMiaou@jlai.lulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·4 days agoCan’t access the bios with secure boot on (at least I could not on an old laptop I was refurbishing, thank god the owner could login into windows)
minus-squarejjjalljs@ttrpg.networklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·4 days agoThat’s unusual, I think. Every computer I’ve had that had it on, I was able to turn it off when I went to install Linux.
minus-squareatticus88th@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·5 days agoIsnt it possible to have a recovery key? Isnt that technically a backdoor? Maybe the terms are not correct but there is a way in physically.
