A few years ago Intel made a special feature Anti-Theft Technology.
Also, both hardware and software makers indicate that they now are using some kind of new technology to prevent or reduce the theft of small computers.
Here is an article:
https://www.intel.com/content/dam/doc/product-brief/mobile-computing-protect-laptops-and-data-with-intel-anti-theft-technology-brief.pdfSome say that it is better not to talk about this because it might make it easy for criminals to find a loop hole. But other say taht public knowledge about it woul be best for everybody. Users should know about the anti-theft features already inside of the PC they bought.
Other articles mention something called
Secret Control - Anti-theft 3.0 I mention this because in the past many have come here to le4arn how to circumvent BIOS passwords. We know thing some of these may have been criminals trying to sell a stolen PC or laptop.
I do not have a PC with the newest stuff, so I am not aware of how these devices work. I believe that there is a way to shut down a CPU by remote control. ButI have not read a full disclosure of how this works.
So my question is: Now can we can talk about this kind of thing on this forum?
