UEFI BIOS - Road to hell that was paved with good intentions
- Someone1234 11y agoWhy exactly? A lot of people's issues with uEFI seem to stem from Secure Boot (and the lack of additional CAs contained within). And while I grant that Secure Boot is problematic, uEFI is actually taking us away from black box firmware that was BIOS. In many ways this type of stuff has always been possible, the only difference is the skill threshold has been lowered. So I guess the question is do you believe in the phase: "Ignorance is bliss?" Because that's what you're asking for, back to BIOS where these things are still readily do-able, just requires more technical skill and time.
- the_why_of_y 11y agoI'm confused, what's a "UEFI BIOS"? Does that mean UEFI firmware with the "Compatibility Support Module" enabled?
- rbanffy 11y agoAbout the intentions it was paved with, we have to ask to whom they were good. I'm fairly certain that our well being was not a high priority.
