Aka Laughs in Linux.

in reply to Pearl • • •At very least use VeraCrypt, not backdoored bit locker.
Still, Windows has an universal backdoor, Microsoft can copy the keys from memory (together with all your files or access your camera/mic at any moment. If you have to use windows, I recommend never letting it connect to the internet. Or else use GNU/Linux and luks.
(Note that I meant that MS can copy the keys from memory from any internet connected unlocked device, they can't unlock a very crypt encrypted system if they haven't used the backdoor previously to extract the key).
The point is, don't expect any privacy from windows, unless it's isolates from the internet.

The topic of the article though I can understand as a “feature” for normies so that they don’t lose all their data by accident.
