Why has this issue resurfaced? What has changed? I thought that the windows 8 certification for x86 required that users should be able to disable secure boot.

I thought that the windows 8 certification for x86 required that users should be able to disable secure boot.
- tadfisher 14y agoManufacturers might be satisfying that requirement by providing an unlocked boot image for users to flash themselves.
- tjoff 14y agoThen the problem is fraudulent manufacturers. There can't be any universe in which that isn't a shortsighted and downright ludicrous move. If anything we should be happy for the manufacturers that does that, it means we'd never have to consider them again.
- mavrc 14y ago>Then the problem is fraudulent manufacturers. Or a certification standard that mandated that vendors do something, but was highly nonspecific as to exactly how they were to do it.
- tjoff 14y agoAND a certification standard... This would never be a problem without both fraudulent manufacturers and an unclear certification standard.
