Aaaand apparently #AMD reversed the Intel-like decision to remove #TSME right after I wrote that, because people had already been voicing their convene, so... cool, we won.

AMD will reinstate memory encryption on Ryzen 9000 CPUs through a BIOS update in July — TSME is coming back after 'valuable community feedback'

The feature was quietly removed through a firmware update on some non-PRO Ryzen CPUs.

Ryzen-CPUs: AMD killt RAM-Verschlüsselung - und rudert jetzt zurück

Linuxer ärgert sich über AMD wegen Abschaltung der RAM-Verschlüsselung TSME

Neuere Versionen der UEFI-BIOS-Komponente AGESA schalten bei manchen AMD-Ryzen-Prozessoren eine Funktion ab, die sie nie haben sollten – das verärgert manche.

I wasn't using #TSME, because I'm not worried about someone getting to my physical RAM chips, but #AMD removing it from #Ryzen processors via a BIOS update without explanatiob isn't just a really bad #marketing decision, it feels like it should be illegal. What if I bought a Ryzen for a publicly accessible #computer with intent to use that feature? What if it being on the 7600 was a factor in, say, a school or library buying it for their public #computers? What if I had to buy cheap DDR5 from somewhere I didn't trust not to somehow bug it afterafter the price went up?

Doesn't matter. I bought a product with features, and removing them via an update is unethical.

#ComputerHardware manufacturers need to stop removing features via firmware updates, and if even AMD is going to do this, we need to get a law about it.
