Well, my laptop is boot encrypted, and my battery is completely dead, so the computer powers dies the second the power is pulled. I also have it powered off when it's not in active use. Also, I don't live in an apartment complex, or anything like that.

I guess if they kicked in my door, I would immediately tap the power button, which would shut off the laptop, and leave it fully encrypted.

Sure, you wanna see what I'm working on at the moment?

>what is a cold boot attack
A risk, but, given the situation, I don't know else could be done.

That said, I wouldn't steal a game before release, and if I were stupid enough to, I sure as shit wouldn't advertise that I had to anyone else.

>>62111256
I guess you could have
sudo reboot
in terminal, and the second the door crashes, you go to terminal and hit enter. No cold boot attacks then.

I'm sleepings means my computer is turned off. Good luck.

If I'm awake, just trip the power bar power switch as I stand up with my hands up.

Why? If I'm in bed, I'm not by my front or back door. I would have a couple of seconds before they got to the bedroom.

Nah. I'd hear the front door crash. And, even if I didn't, my dog (which is in the kennel next to my bed), would go absolutely nuts over that kind of noise.

Fuck Valve.
I refuse to pay for a digital "copy" of a game. I especially refuse to pay to digitally rent a game from Steam, which is exactly what happens when you pay for a game on Steam.
Games should only be sold physically with the entire games on the discs, with the ability to copy and paste to another disc or flash drive, and they shouldn't require some shitty "service" like Steam or GOG.
Digital only and games not being on the actual discs you buy them on is the exact reason games are sold unfinished, the reason DLC/microtransactions are a thing, and the reason early access (aka paying to test someone's game when devs used to have to pay to test their game) is a thing.
Steam is the new Blockbuster, but at least when you gave Blockbuster money they told you you were only renting the game.
Fuck Steam and any shitty service like it, and fuck anyone who actually gives them money. Steam and the people who support them are a cancer on PC gaming.

>fully comply with all orders except for unlocking the encryption

Also, if I pirated the game before launch, you can bet your ass that I wouldn't have gone and published pics and the like. That's asking for trouble.

At most the disc is some kind of token.

Once again, if I had done that, nobody would have known.

Buy it off GOG then. Everything on there is DRM-free and the GOG client is 100% optional (you can download directly from the website if you want). It can't fix the problem of devs releasing incomplete games but at least you own the shit you buy.

>>62111675
The only way that happens is when decrypting the drives is a forgone conclusion - meaning someone made an affidavit saying that they saw what the person had on his PC.

This kid stole the code, bragged about it to a friend, literally called Gabe to tell him he did it, and how he did it, in the hopes of getitng a job. In the States, at least, that STILL wouldn't be good enough to get an order to decrypt. It would literally take someone writing an Affidavit that they SAW it on a specific computer in order to get the decrypt order.

And remember, whomever makes that affidavit is putting their nuts on the chopping block, because if he's caught lying, that's perjury.
