https://archive.is/XoghM https://archive.is/XoghM These days dreamwidth.org is harder to view and interact with than facebook.com if you don't have an account. We really need to stop linking to it and link instead to an archive.is copy or the like. After the run-around to the archived copy I see mgj is still complaining about people being able to boot in modes other than UEFI. I'm glad these options still exist. Throwing away all the legacy computing options would remove many abilities no longer possible on modern hardware and software stacks.

We really need to stop linking to it and link instead to an archive.is copy or the like. I've made the suggestion to Dang in the past to just autogenerate an archive.is link for every story/link posted to HN and have that be an "alternate link" after the main one. I think it's kind of silly some people just post an archive link for every post and gets a buttload of points for it as everyone upvotes it which games the system. I think it would also be good in general to preserve the article as it appeared at the time when initially discussed and hasn't been edited, or removed, since.

  How do you get through the captcha? It's what blocks me.

    It didn't show me one. FWIW, I also have cookies and third-party domains disabled.

> I see mgj is still complaining about people being able to boot in modes other than UEFI I'm not sure how you get that impression, since I'm mostly talking about what happens before you get to that point. Having the CPU hand off control to the firmware in protected mode doesn't preclude the firmware switching back to real mode.
