AMD silently removes TSME from consumer cpus for no good reasonhttps://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/amd-silently-removes-memory-encryption-from-consumer-ryzen-cpus-leaving-users-unaware-that-they-may-be-vulnerable-security-feature-vanishes-after-newer-agesa-firmware-amd-engineers-go-radio-silent-when-pressed-about-the-change
CIA backdoor. Just like when and refuse to fix their auto update vulnerability
>>109082149How do we keep memory encryption enabled?
>>109082158use AGESA older than 1.2.7.0
>>109082164I don't even know how to know. I guess ubuntu just updoots and that's that.
>>109082165depends on your UEFI firmware versionAGESA is packaged with motherboard updates
>>109082187aha, I haven't updated my mobo in a while.
>>109082187So i'm save then. My last Bios update was when the Matisse gen came out.
What about AM4 tho
I have never updated my mobo for multiple rigs now, just was never needed, why update whats not giving any issues

National security letter
>TSME is a protection feature that encrypts the data stored in memory, making it unusable to physical attackersYet another physical attack vector nothingburger.
how do we detect this? i have a ryzen 7600/mobo i bought back in 2024 and haven't assembled yet, they can't do shit to me unless I update the bios can they??
>>109082528keep simping for multi billion dollar corporations, cuck
>>109082528
>>109082859>>109083393fuck you bitch they paid me 11 izzat
>>109082149>For most consumer Ryzen users, the practical impact of the change is narrow. TSME protects against physical attacks, meaning scenarios in which someone has physical access to the machine or its memory hardware and attempts to extract secrets directly from RAM. The feature is more important for people carrying sensitive laptops, handling confidential work, relying on full-disk encryption, or operating in environments where seizure, theft, or hardware tampering is a realistic concern.So an absolute fucking non-issue that also might just be a bug. We definitely needed a 5000-word article on this rather than a xeet. Journalists are all shit-stirring niggers.
>>109082149They also locked down ECC memory speeds on the previous one and made sure to disable rollbacks for that update :^)They are going to segment features harder and harder now that hardware prices are going through the roof. Never miss an opportunity to fleece customers.
>>109082149and that is a problem why?i disabled it anyway because it lowers your performance
never update chads winning again
>>109082165>>109082222>>109082235>>109082855You want this shit off it reduces performance. Also new AGESA has FGR which mitigates rowhammer and makes your ram faster.
>>109085607thisjust don't update, they continually nerf us without warning. fuck gaymd and shitel.
>>109085706i prefer security in this day and age.
>still on 1.1.8.0>see a bunch of BIOS updates>probably should update>motherboard brags about being a dualBIOS setup that makes BIOS updates easy and foolproof>on their website they still say to back up everything before doing BIOS update since it can bork your machineWhich one is it Gigabyte? Pick one and stick with it for fucks sake.
>>109082859if nobody did it, you would run roughshod over society and destroy everything
>>109085706Oh nooo i'll lose like 2 fps in exchange for security against feds Gaymers are mentally ill and should be beat up
Can't I just disable microcode updates?
>>109087478>for security against fedsLOL, nigga not a soul is going into your cave and doing a physical attack on your memory. You'll hand all that over like a good little bitch when the feds come knocking.
>>109087613Why would I? I'm a lawyer and I know my rights. Also, you sound like a concern-trolling pig, so kill yourself.
Damn agesa on my mobo is exactly 1.2.7.0 and I dont have the previous bios versions (they got removed from the site, only the very first version is available)Oh well guess I'll just leave it
>>109087917Nvm found two older versions on a flash drive, wonder if I should attempt to install the older versions, feels like too much effort geg
>>109082222wait, people update their bios?
>>109087662>I'm a lawyer and I know my rightsGood, so you know you'll hand them over like a good little bitch or get turned into a statistic.
>>109082679this. fucking nothingburger with extra mayo
>>109088161What kind of shithole are you living in where pigs are regularly performing extrajudicial executions against suspects for not producing evidence against themselves?
>>109088394sAAR BE NOT BAD TALKING DESI SUPERPOWER 2027
>>109088116i reflash my bios every day
>>109088401 Figures. I'll never set foot in India so you don't need to worry about that.
I have yet to see an memory encryption extension that actually works. They probably removed it because someone demonstrated it doesn't actually stop anything.
>>109088394I think they're taking that computer from you if you like it or not lil bro. If you try to play, "I'm a lawyer" you're going to get laughed at and put on some bodycam youtube channel.
>>109088893>I think they're taking that computer from you if you like it or not lil broOh, that they will. And they'd be well within their rights to take it, provided they have a warrant. They're just never going to access a single file inside it. But you know that, that's why you're so desperately trying to convince everyone that full-disk encryption is pointless, cops will just extrajudicially execute criminal investigation suspects (not something that ever happens in first world countries) who do not hand over passphrases and a backdoor is therefore a nothingburger. I called you out in my very first reply.
>>109091281>it's an "American thinks he lives in a first world country" episode
>>109088466>nsa commentlol sure, that's gotta be it
>>109085914>>109087478>>109087485>>109087917>>109088116Old AGESA is literally slower and more insecure due to no FGR.
>>109092387Retards that build computers here are more dumb than Dell prebuilt buyers.
