  • I remember on Reddit several years ago I said that automatic bitlocker is the curse of installing W11 on a laptop.

    I got down voted so hard. One comment even said you should be thankful because encrypting by default should be the norm.

    But yet if I add any thunderbolt device to my windows before I boot it, it requires me to input my 25 character bitlocker key… that’s hosted online within my Microsoft account.

    Bitlocker enabling by default without user input is horrible. Hosting the keys online is also horrible. It could be so easy to socal engineer into your Microsoft account.










  • The precedence is that the TV is connected to the Internet.

    The TV won’t automatically connect to the Internet even with an open wifi network.

    GN even says “reconnected” to the network at 0:53.

    I’m sure it could happen in the future, but as of now, the TV must be connected initially for the exploitation to happen.

    If the TV is never connected to the Internet from the start, there has been no proof that it’ll mesh with other TVs and find a way back to the mother ship as the original comment stated.

    Now I’m sure they won’t let you use the TV at all until you’ve signed into an account. That’s how they get you to connect to the Internet.
