@halva i love how people like this love to be “protected from the feds” when the only thing on their laptop is a single 4chan tab and an attempt at C code

@autumn honestly the fact that microsoft and apple are doing it tells me nothing at all about how useful of a feature it is

@fiore its not encrypted but its locked behind a lock screen, can’t get through okay.

reboot to bios (because that probably doesn’t have a password either) and boot into live distro to take anything sensitive or alternatively just take the ssd out and read it in another pc
