Is there a single technology company that you can't say this about?
- yjftsjthsd-h 3y agoReally depends on your threat model; I think most companies stop short of shipping malware from their UEFI implementation. That said, I don't think Framework has yet done anything questionable?
- susanthenerd 3y agoThe problem with Framework is that BIOS updates are really rare. I been running the 3.0.6-beta for my 12th gen for almost 8 months I think and the full release has yet to come. I bet it will never happen as they are focusing on AMD and 13th gen + 16" one at the moment.

I asked their support and they aren't planning to fix it in the forseeable future.
