  • No they do not have copies of every Bitlocker key.

    Bitlocker by default creates a 48-bit recovery code that can be used to unlock an encrypted drive. If you run Windows with a personal Microsoft account it offers to backup that code into your Microsoft account in case your system needs recovered. The FBI submitted a supoena to request the code for a person’s encrypted drive. Microsoft provided it, as required by law.

    Bitlocker does not require that key be created, and you don’t have to save it to Microsoft’s cloud.

    This is just a case of people not knowing how things work and getting surprised when the data they save in someone else’s computer is accessed using the legal processes.

    Updated it right before I built Wine.

    Using the Steam release of Fallout 3 goty. Created a clean wine prefix, configured it for Windows 7. Installed .Net 3.5 sp1 and Visual C++ runtimes for 2008 and 2010 just in case. Installed latest DXVK with winetricks. Modified the system.reg with regedit to add key and string for the installed path.

    After that I was able to run the Launcher, set it to windowed and launch it.

    Have spent about 5 hours so far on current play through. Has crashed a couple of times.
