    If you have secure boot off OR don’t have a bios password you are just as insecure as this “vulnerability” would make you

        So don’t use it? How much or how little actual security secure boot provides is a topic that has been discussed to oblivion. I brought it up to make a point of how badly people are overreacting about the severity of this latest framework news.

          I still have no idea what secure-boot really does and this was me turning the metaphorical secure-boot dial while checking the crowd to see whether they start gasping in horror.

            I believe it only means “I paid Microsoft to get a certificate”, so it does absolutely nothing for security.
