    I remember the time when there was an uproar when Intel tried to add unique ID instructions, so I was surprised to learn that CPUs can now be uniquely identified via software, but apparently it is true via fTPM.

    Once a cheater, always a cheater. We’re speaking specifically about the CPU here. That CPU is a cheater. Fuck that CPU.

      Maybe they should try banning that disgusting and vile CPU instead of the innocent player.

          Maybe we should ban all CPUs because they can be used for cheating. What do you think?
