      There probably will someday be a push to prevent common normal people from having access to computer systems that offer the user root or superuser access. “ThE aVeRaGe PeRsOn DoEsNt NeEd AdMiN pErMiSsIoNs” or “think of the children”. Ipads and surface pros will be allowed but something like a socket 1155 motherboard won’t.

        No one wants LGA1155 anymore anyway so it’s Gucci, my i7-2600 was far past it’s life span 5 years ago

            The IPC just isn’t good enough of those chips anymore, making them really inefficient. You’d be better off buying a modern celeron

      Bitlocker’s threat model is physical access, though. And it’s 50% of TPM’s threat model too.

        Yeah which is why no one cares about either. The threat vector is usually not discussed and mostly ignored by non state-level actors in practice.

        I do agree that it’s fascinating. My master’s degree thesis was on sourcing trust and eliminating various evil maid type attacks, including supply side targeted poisoned hardware aimed at state level.
