>>108992845no
>>108992845Yes and no, but probably no, if MS servers go down so does your Laptop.For an average NORMAL person encryption is a meme anyways, you do you tho.
>>108992845Windows or Bitlocker?
nopeIt's backdoored AND has known vulnerabilities AND syncs your keys into the Cloud (unless you tinker), so it makes no sense in the first placeIf you want encryption, use Linux
>>108992845if you're worried about your lappy getting stolen, then yes.understand that Microsoft would give your encryption key to the glowies without hesitation
>>108992845There are other apps for that. You cannot use anything built-in, because it's trash. Security on windows is a meme in general, it does screenshots and logs keystrokes, records voice and takes pics on webcam if available too.I LOLed at people who were scared of that "continue" feature that Microslop announced.Seems like people genuinely believe that all that tracking was going to appear with that feature and they were mad about it. But in reality it was always there, at least since win10 release. That "continue" feature was supposed to use those features for something besides just tracking and logging everything. It was hilarious, especially how microslop remained silent about these details.
>>108992845sure, just make sure to store the key in various places so you don't lose it.
>>108993090You can just use the public backdoors to unlock if you lose your keys
>>108992845For personal use?No. Use veracrypt.For corporate or companies you dont care about and/or hope someone hacks their shit to end the suffering? Yes.
>>108993253I would think it's the opposite.
>>108992845noyou should uninstall all the slop and install something that actually respects the end user.
>>108993258I dont get it. Why? Veracrypt is secure, open-source and modifiable. So exploitation is resolved faster. Bitlocker has known and public unresolved exploits, not even getting into theories of how those existed. Its advantage is its integrated with windows, so super easy to set up. Means, less work and less secure for whatever you put it on. That makes bitlocker the perfect tool for use case of company you dont give af aboit.
>>108992845Backdoored pozzedware, look up yellow key
>>108992845Buttlocker is great for corporate IT when you have a centralized key server and want to remotely enforce MDM. For the average user it kinda sucks because you need to keep a backup copy of your key and if you lose it then you are absolutely fucked when you need it. Bitlocker is not going to keep glowniggers from seeing your CSAM stash.
>>108992863Nah, for laptops, encryption is worth even for normies, cos it's easier to physically steal the laptop itself, along with any valuable data stored on it (accounts, credit cards, etc).
>>108993388Also for resale purposes. Like most corps fall under some compliance requirements to only be able to resale comps with their harddrives removed, but personal sales its doesnt matter, and since everything is stupid expensive nowindays, a resale of a functioning used system with a harddrive, will be more desired and could sell for better prices than a second hand used system the resaler had to get a new harddrives for. With full disk encryption, you just have to reformat and can resale the whole thing. Without any or only partial, if you have an optical drive theres still hope, by running multiple secure overwrites, but if its an SSD drive (laptops), your better off just removing it and selling without harddrive or replacing it like a resaler would.
>>108993363why isn't she grinding on the scroll wheel itself? this is retarded art.
>>108992845Depends. It's convenient and will protect your data from data from everyone if your computer is stolen.That is, until AI discovers the next CIA backdoor and everyone can just unlock your drive.
>>108995029Theres currently a publicly available backdoor for it. Yellow-somethingsomething. You flash it to a usb, restart in recovery mode and press some key commands.
>>108993301are you talking about YellowKey? it doesn't work OOB you deliberately have to configure WinRE for it to work.
>>108992845Get rid of the spyware known as windows if you're worried about it
I would try sedutil.
>>108992845You're on Windows. It's literally better than nothing.
>>108995546Idk OOB? but WinRE is config by default when you set up the OS, so you would have to deliberately unconfigure it. Also>>108995609 the bigger significance of the exploit is obvious theres more.
>>108992845>should I enable it on a laptop?On a laptop, yes 100%. If you don't want thieves taking your SSD out and see all the data.No, if you don't want to gov to look at your data, in that case - Veracrypt.
>>108992845>>108995738>>108996682only criminals need encryption.
>>108993465>Optical driveI think you meant mechanical drive. Optical drive would be a CD/DVD drive, not a hard disk.
