Summary: While UEFI boosters go by the name “Semen” (minutes ago in IRC) the grown-ups with actual computer background caution against UEFI

THE UEFI fiasco has been covered here for over a decade I spoke to Intel executives about it (they invited me to speak to them when I was in my 20s). Every negative thing I had said about UEFI turned out to be true, including the security flaws, as noted in our daily links [1, 2] and some recent posts. Even the US government now formally cautions about the attack surface of UEFI.

The video above covers the latest twist and provides some necessary background, so it is a tad long. █
