Me at 8 years old: I hate the TCPA. I hate the concept of TPMs. I have never looked at “a repo” before, and haven’t even used LimeWire yet, but How Dare You Lock Down My Computer.
Me, now: goddammit. Why can’t I put my own signing keys into my phone’s locked bootloader. I want a trusted OS that apps won’t randomly refuse to run on and where I’ll immediately know if it’s been tampered with, but Why Can’t I Do That With Custom ROMs. Give me that delicious, refreshing Trusted Computing, but in a way that isn’t boring.
