Microsoft is being sued by a man who feels cheated by the current plans to sunset Windows 10. He makes some good points, but I doubt he’ll win.

    I’d argue that you now have two major issues. Someone breaking into a house and stealing a desktop isn’t unheard of. Full disk encryption with secure boot deployed will save you the headache of also having your identity/bank account/cc info stolen a few days later.

        I mean yeah that’s why I made the distinction in my comment… Without secure boot you’re still opening yourself up to a whole host of other attack vectors even if you have bitlocker enabled.

      I’d argue that 99,9% don’t use full disk encryption cause it’s Infact a performance degrading feature.

      And there’s nothing to be stolen , all my passwords are in a password manager , all important accounts including the password manager have 2fa.

      If someone isn’t a pw manager or 2fa it’s all their fault honestly.
