UFOFU

UFOFU was a rock band based in Dallas, Texas. The band consisted of Joseph Butcher, and brothers Brandon Curtis and Ben Curtis. It rose to local prominence in the mid-1990s through word of mouth and slots opening for other north Texas bands such as Hagfish and Tripping Daisy.[1] While touring, the band opened for Local H, Smoking Popes, The Geraldine Fibbers and Spacehog.[2]

Discography
gollark: However, the "trusted" bit of the name is a misnomer, in that it's "trusted" by arbitrary companies of some kind and not the user themselves.
gollark: It has some nice-for-users features like that you can, say, make your disk's contents unreadable if you take it out and stick it in another computer (without also having the TPM to do things to).
gollark: It's basically a bit of hardware built into the CPU for storing secret keys the user isn't meant to be able to access.
gollark: And similar accursed DRM schemes.
gollark: The older ones were low-powered in-order cores for phones and such, but now Atom-branded things go into networking appliances and are actually moderately fast.
