I mean, most people don't know their encryption keys. A correct password retrieves the keys from the TPM, the duress pin wipes the TMP so now even a correct password is unable to get any of the data.

Hell, even if you use the same password in multiple locations (you shouldn't) a good service will salt (add a random but consistent jumble of characters for your account specifically) and then hash (weird complicated math that makes it really hard to reverse your password) your salted password then check if that salted hash matches what's on file.

    As an example, I remember back in highschool physics we heard that some scientics just discover tychions travel faster than light. Well, it turns out that those scientists didn't have some piece of equipment plugged in all the way or something thus giving them those results.

    A plane is a bus that is fast, can fly, and can traverse great distances. An LLM spews statistically accurate looking language with no regard for accuracy or content. These are not the same. One is objectively useful even if its common current incarnation pollutes a lot.

    Yeah I've seen that one before. I was so glad to have training at my job that explicitly stated "if you aren't the electricity guy, don't fuck with the electricity" like I'd fucking argue that I should be allowed to lick the 480v. Nope, I want nothing to do with the spicy cables.
