The treacherous platform module has always been malware

It's not just for that. It's useful also for allowing storing your data safely. For example to keep fingerprints safe or other similar information.

If it was for that, it'd be locked with my keys, not some megacorp's. The concept of treacherous computing is to let the corpos trust your computer to betray you for their profits.

I remember 5 years ago when Linus said he would work to show more restraint in swearing out vendors... and it's just hit me how well that worked. He didn't use a single swear word--in English or Finnish--and kept his negative sentiment focused on the implementation, rather than the people who did it, or their intelligence.

I still agree with his sentiment towards Nvidia.
