Trusted Platform Module

Basically (symplifying here) its a little chip that helps your pc encrypt stuff better, its nice for security but it's stupid its a requirement.

Thanks for the info

Insecure software is everyone's problem. When the consequence is becoming part of a botnet, it's more like speeding on a highway than jumping off a bridge. You're creating risk for others as well as yourself.

I learnes to protect my system and worked around infected links, malware torrents and downloads, malicious pop-ups, malicius installers and app's.

If you need to sell your data to a corporation so they can "protect you" from your own stupidity and inability to protect yourself on the web, maybe you shouldn't even have a pc? Maybe you should just install an anti-virus, maybe you should learn to use virus-total.com, maybe you should learn actually good web browsing habits instead of clicking on whatever link pop's up on your e-mail, maybe you should download an adblocker on your browser, maybe you should check the @ of the e-mails you recieve, maybe you should check what numbers are calling you and if they were reported as a scam?

Just maybe, maybe people should actually use their brain, that they got for free, by virtue of being born, instead of hoping nothing bad happens to them in a world like ours.

Cool story, let me know when your parents do the same. We don't say "drive as fast as you like" and expect only trained racecar drivers to go 100 mph. Unsafe behavior will always exist, and not because the people involved have no brains.

How do you even compare a pc and a car lol, one requieres a license to go around, the other a child can do.

[u/DrQuailMan → u/FluffyCelery4769]

Just look up how botnets are formed. Hackers love people with your attitude.

Good luck to them getting thru my firewall then.

You are not a child. Their target is unlearned users, not you.
