open article. Ctrl+F "tainted". zero matches.

I didn't bother reading the article because of that.

Big Enterprise won the kernel wars. After Balmer freaking out and paying a hit piece calling "Linux a cancer", everyone managed to work around GPL and be able to inject non-free parts in the kernel. Linux compromised with the "tainted kernel" and later just gave up. Result: Android is a linux, and is the most closed source system on earth. Thousands of people throw away perfectly good android phones just because the owner of the source code refuses to release a update.

Linux lost. Well, at least the spirit of it.

You assume an efficient market.

Advertising is not about the Seller of the product and the Publisher of the content. Oh no.

The money in advertisement is the hundreds of companies that prey on each other all the way connecting seller and publisher. Because nobody trust anybody in advertisement. There's traffic validate. Click validation. Sales attribution. Sales attribution validation. MRC Accreditation for the sales attribution validation. etc. etc. etc.

Are we just going to ignore the time Google was caught slowing firefox with useless loops (well, actually turning on a client side noise reduction algo IIRC) in google meet and docs to make it look like chrome was faster? could also be 'fixed' by changing user agents to chrome.

...countdown to downvotes and replies asking for source for something that is easy to find online.

Question, this is a widely used tpm since it's 'free', so it makes sense it was the first one looked into, but

anyone did similar tests to the el-cheapo ones that will end up on 99% of computers around the world?

My bet is that messing with voltages on those chips too will expose all sorts of exploits too.

oh google pay a LOT of people to do it.

Either outright commits by at-google email addresses, or things like summer of code. All to play catch up with the features they shove on chrome.

Not to mention, improving the browser in the space of adblockers installed by default ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin... ftw! ) would remove most incentives for AI generated content in the first place. /inserts shrugging emoji
