schestowitz@kaniini @schestowitz And how do you know they haven't simply deactivated secure boot in your machine other than going at each boot in the BIOS settings? I've checked a bunch of machines since then and basically none will warn you of secure boot being disabled other than sometimes the OS (so way too late in the process).Apr 23 17:54
schestowitzSecure Boot can be useful but either you can't boot anything new on your machine, or it's basically useless because it means someone else can do the same.Apr 23 17:54
