It's over. Forever.
>Of Pluton's functionality, that Microsoft post sums it up as, "The Pluton design removes the potential for that communication channel to be attacked by
building security directly into the CPU. Windows PCs using the Pluton architecture will first emulate a TPM that works with the existing TPM specifications and APIs, which will allow customers to immediately benefit from enhanced security for Windows features that rely on TPMs like BitLocker and System Guard. Windows devices with Pluton will use the Pluton security processor to protect credentials, user identities, encryption keys, and personal data. None of this information can be removed from Pluton even if an attacker has installed malware or has complete physical possession of the PC."
In case you don't understand what this means, in the near future ALL desktop CPUs will include hardware level DRM that can be used to lock you out of your own computer, or manipulate it however Microsoft pleases, for any reason.
Have pirated software installed?
Computer locked.
Typed wrongthink words?
Locked.
Vaccine passport not up to date?
Locked.
This is the future of all private computing, you will soon not own your own device anymore.
>"I'll run Linux, they can't get me!"
Much like the Intel Management Engine, the Pluton chip will likely run its own micro-OS. It doesn't matter what OS you run, if your CPU detects unverified behaviors, it can penalize you for it.

@matrix This is the new SecureBoot, looks like. All info preliminary. This is all I have seen of it
