OOPS... BILL GATES-FUNDED PRIVACY DISASTER ??? All INTEL, AMD, QUALCOMM CPUs Will Now Come With The "PLUTON SECURITY CHIP" Made By MICROSOFT

when is it coming?

THIS CHIP WILL "AUTOMATICALL UPDATE FIRMWARE" WHETHER YOU WANT IT OR NOT...

One of the other major security problems solved by Pluton is keeping the system firmware up to date across the entire PC ecosystem. Today customers receive updates to their security firmware from a variety of different sources than can be difficult to manage, resulting in widespread patching issues. Pluton provides a flexible, updateable platform for running firmware that implements end-to-end security functionality authored, maintained, and updated by Microsoft. Pluton for Windows computers will be integrated with the Windows Update process in the same way that the Azure Sphere Security Service connects to IoT devices.

How will this affect those of us who use real operating systems such as Linux or other non-MS creations?

Just because CPU's CAN run MS or Goygle bullshit doesn't mean that we should.

"But when it matters, which is where your encryption keys are stored, how you boot the system, now Microsoft writes the code for Pluton and works with Intel or others to get it signed and delivered. So there are fewer people involved, and the PC is going to be more secure for it. The fact that Microsoft designed a processor and Intel is putting it in their CPU—that’s like a head-exploding concept."

Does Turkey produce its own chips ?

CONFIRMED - THIS THING WILL UPDATE ITSELF EVERY MONTH.

"You're getting better protection against physical attacks, you're getting Microsoft verification of firmware to stop some of the new firmware attacks, and we're going to update this thing every month just like it's Patch Tuesday."

One more article - yes, AMD CPUs are getting Pluton:

Another thing that's kind of a big deal is that firmware updates are going to come directly from Microsoft. Right now, your firmware updates can come from a variety of places. They could come from Windows Update, Lenovo has its Vantage app, HP has Support Assistant, Dell has SupportAssist, and there's more. This is hard to manage, and Microsoft says that Pluton for Windows PCs will be "integrated with the Windows Update process in the same way that the Azure Sphere Security Service connects to IoT devices."

The Clipper chip is what I first thought about.

Are ARM manufacturers going to adopt the same system? Haven't found that yet.

UEFI was not fun for the *nixes out there, pretty sure we'll have the same hilarity again.

Apparently Apple uses similar tech in their computers, I'm going to go hunt up whether opensource OSes have problems on that platform.

edit: Yes, until the Linux kernel with T2 support was shipped with a distro you could boot from the install media but T2 made the internal drive invisible. Same with BSDs

This company has begun selling the first OPEN RISC-V PROCESSOR BOARDS (OPEN SOURCE CPUS IN OTHER WORDS):

THESE ARE OPEN-SOURCE CPUS NOT MADE BY INTEL, AMD, ARM/NVIDIA OR QUALCOMM.

The US Supreme Court has previously ruled that Microsoft cannot control, limit or otherwise interfere with or remove software installed by users of it's OS even if that software was illegally obtained. They are also not legally allowed to disable access to a users device for any reason other than theft of the device itself. That would mean using the chip for DRM, at least on a PC, would be a violation of that ruling. However, that decision was handed down about twenty years ago if I recall and we seem to be living in clown world now so I'm guessing anything could happen.
