- KirillPanov 6y agoJust factory reset the device, as if you had bought it used (if there's no way to do this then the laptop has much, much bigger problems). Buy a new laptop, do this to it, return it the next day for a refund. Rinse, repeat. This attack is what locked bootloaders on cellphones are supposed to prevent. I don't support bootloader-locking, but it's confusing that Apple is bringing locked-bootloader smartphone-style security to their laptops+desktops and then opening up a gaping hole that they worked so hard to close on the iPhone. Seems incoherent.
