  • I’m a bit disappointed to see the tendency observed on Reddit to be replicated here.

    Does this article deserve more upvotes and attention than it has currently? Yes. There should be more attention paid to the case and issue broadly, and more pressure to prevent these things from ever happening. So you can stop typing that reply now. I have no problem highlighting gender inequality and crime in India, as it’s the only way to improve from what’s currently in place.

    Did 26 people getting shot to death in a terrorist attack in India last week garner this much attention, or upvotes? No, not even half as much. To me that smacks of implicit biases that deserve mention and questioning.

    Previous versions of Windows only permitted drive encryption in their premium tiers, and it seems like the current one possibly requires a TPM chip for it, so a lot of hardware won’t even support it. So basically greed or greed.

    For what it’s worth it’s not always a default with Linux installations either. There’s a usually minor performance hit, though I can’t say it ever bothered me. Personally I have less fear of bad actors obtaining physical access than I do myself breaking something catastrophically and losing my access, so I don’t use it now.
