As a hardware type, I’ve always been wary of allowing the s/w to access certain portions of the memory and control mechanisms (regardless of the so-called benefits it produces).
Having lost this argument many times, it’s somewhat refreshing to finally have my concerns vindicated.
This isn’t on topic, but I have a question. I have a recovery drive (D) on my computer (HP) - that allows me to take my computer back to a ‘factory’ level... Is it possible for a hacker to get into the recovery drive?
