Freedom vs safety should be contextual. I’m not free if I don’t have choices and secure boot is a choice. Having it improves both my freedom and security somewhat. I want both unlocked and locked hardware, for different purposes.
- ACCount36 1y agoSecure Boot is almost never a choice. It's just something a hardware vendor hits you with, whether you like it or not.
- tempnew 1y agoIt’s a choice I make all the time. I disabled it on one of my computers just last night. I’ll probably turn it back on today. It’s easy to toggle.
- ACCount36 1y agoNow do that on your smartphone. And then on your smart watch. And then on your gaming console. Secure Boot being "a choice" on PC is an exception, not the norm. On just about every other device, the vendor is going to take a boot, shove it up your ass, and say "it's there to make your ass more secure" if you complain.
