    Of course they did because the “suspects” likely uploaded their keys to their Microsoft account, which Microsoft nearly forces you to do at this point. We need to accept our own responsibility in how we got here though at some point & hold our politicians accountable for shelling out billions to companies like Microsoft while receiving kickbacks, and for making the invasion of privacy the status quo.

      You see, so that others cannot decrypt your device. It’s just that Microsoft doesn’t count itself as “others”.

    • TPM makes the DRM stuff harder to break.

      Like if you unlock bootloader on your phone, Widevine degrades to L3 which means you can’t watch HD netflix.

      If you use Linux, you can’t use L1 which mean you get the SD stuff

      They’re trying to do the same with PC games. Mandatory secure boot + TPM to encrypt/decrypt the games so it’s harder to crack.
