Embed Notice

i wonder how many people actually try to run their own certificate authority and stuff for their secureboot-enabled hardware

lexi tried that with her thinkpad and the feature is so broken it bricked the laptop to the point your only chance at fixing it is a special $300 programmer for the embedded controller, plus a dump that’s basically a closely-guarded secret among sketchy repair shop owners

on my (much cheaper!) asus laptop it actually works, and will also allow you to reset things if you screw up in a way that would brick it because critical firmware components are signed with the wrong keys (this option disappears after a successful boot)
