Hello,
Windows Client (laptops/tablets/...) devices with 64-bit Arm CPUs have Secure Boot unlockable. That article applied to Windows RT and Windows Phone, which were earlier projects.
- Lammy 6y agoMy objection to Secure Boot is right in the name. What's it designed to be secure from? From me, the user.
- Wowfunhappy 6y agoBut it's not, it's meant to be secure from rootkits! A lot of secure boot implementations let you add your own keys. Some don't, and that's bad, but it's not the fault of secure boot!
- Lammy 6y agoNumber of rootkits Secure Boot has saved me from: zero Number of times Secure Boot has locked out a legitimate user: too many The only reason everyone used the Fedora key was because the alternative was registering with Microsoft, paying $99, and hoping for approval. Microsoft are as much a gatekeeper in this as they've always been, and the whole framing of the news around this feels like an attempt to discredit those who would go around the gatekeeper: https://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/17542.html https://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/17542.html
- Wowfunhappy 6y agoWhere are you even buying computers that make secure boot mandatory? I know they exist but I’ve never run into them. Did you consider just getting a different model?
- Lammy 6y agoPlease don't victim-blame :)
- kasabali 6y agono guarantee they'll be unlockable in later projects
