Big thanks for detailed answer! My understanding is more clear now.


Looks bad enough. But what’s TPM role in this?


How bad is TPM on a laptop for privacy?
There are some speculations about TPM uncontrollably sending data to manufacturer servers if a laptop has any Internet connection. Others say it's not intended/capable of that, like [this answer](https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/187820/do-a-tpms-benefits-outweigh-the-risks#187828) for example (which is 5 years old though). Lemmy, what do you say?

Don’t send any data that you haven’t sent already! Just block 'em f out, feels so nice :D Or they’ll demand a nude selfie next time!


Nothing that requires your phone number to register or has centralized backend could be considered privacy-friendly.
