So if the device is functional you can use the manage-bde command in command prompt to disable. But that's only if the original motherboard is functional, because the key is stored in the TPM chip on the board.
That's the problem I personally deal with, someone spills soda on their laptop or something, usually that sucks but I can get the data. With bitlocker and no account? Data is gone gone
I get it, but as someone who has had to tell little old ladies their data is fucked, I am beyond pissed at Microsoft's implementation. They should not be encrypting data without forcing lay people to have backup codes printed or on a flash drive or something.
They're doing this because they want to force people to her Microsoft accounts, probably just to collect more data.
And for the record, I am very pro encryption The half assed way of encrypting even if there isn't a Microsoft account connected and therefore no way to save keys somewhere is completely unacceptable
Hah is there a rash of nursing home break ins that I'm unaware of? I'm in the field, the way that is happening is phishing with fake ads and emails
Very few people are breaking into a laptop for cookies, it's tremendous amounts of work, and is usually targeted. Motherboards die all the time, and take the TPM with them
Not nearly as much. If someone breaks their motherboard in half but the hard drive is okay, I can get their data unless they have bitlocker. Microsoft is encrypting drives and storing the keys in the TPM only, and it is insane. My grandma doesn't have state secrets on her laptop, she doesn't need encryption.
Respectfully, hard disagree and terrible take. I work in IT, and your stance only makes sense if people have some tech knowledge. Which is never going to happen for the average person.
I can't tell you how many older people I've had to tell that I can't save their grandkids first pics because of bitlocker
Yo same. Originally got pfizer, the place I went to this year was out though, had to get moderna. I was all achy the next day and just slept through it
I got a Noctua D12 cooler for my first computer eight years ago. I did a complete upgrade this year, including switching from Intel to AMD. I sent Noctua my receipt for the motherboard and the cooler itself, and the shipped me a brand new bracket for the cooler for free.
Yeah I only took the first bit of bait. Good to know the dude is a bad faith asshat
You're a fucking dumbass who is confusing dumb ass libertarians with actual anarchists.
I personally use goharddrive and serverpartdeals on eBay and have had good luck, but I'm always looking for others
Hah well, I just tested the built in graphics and it worked. If you wanna give me more details on what you have I can try to help
My dummy is three-ish. There is no randomly chewed plastic, but if I'm sitting at my desk and not giving him my full attention, he's chewing on everything
