Everyone is bitching about how UEFI makes them not the owner of their computer anymore, as if they’re using an open source BIOS and ever had any firmware layer

Everyone is bitching about how UEFI makes them not the owner of their computer anymore, as if they’re using an open source BIOS and ever had any firmware layer control over their PC.
The fact that you can argue that with BIOS you have control means you don’t really understand Intel ME and the other firmware components that actually run your PC. If you want an open platform, Intel and AMD aren’t it. If you want a modern functional platform, Intel and AMD are it.
This is why I have such high hopes for RISC-V.
- sigjuice 9y agoI don't understand how RISC-V will lead to open platforms. Vendors of RISC-V SoC's will most likely include their own Intel ME type bullshit.
