Bonum Certa Men Certa

Another Competition Crime of Microsoft, Long Facilitated and Advocated by a Bad Actor, Who is Funded by a Third Party to Commit Extortion Against People Who Have Correctly and Repeatedly Warned About It for Over 13 Year

"According to Microsoft’s updated FAQ, the expiring certificates affect any device still relying on the original 2011 set. For most Windows 11 and supported Windows 10 PCs, the renewal process will happen automatically via Windows Update. However, users running Windows 10 beyond its October 14, 2025 end of support will need to enroll in the Extended Security Updates program to continue receiving new certificates. The issue becomes even more critical when dealing with firmware resets. Some users could find their PCs refusing to boot if the system defaults back to an older boot manager without the 2023 Secure Boot certificate." -15 hours ago about the new FAQ

Lately we've not mentioned Microsoft's Graveley & Garrett v Schestowitz & Schestowitz [1, 2, 3] all that much and instead focused on the core, seminal issues, which revolve around "Secure Boot". Because this is where it all began, well before misogynists attacked my wife, defamed and stalked my family, tried to SWAT me, tried to extort me, and gradually admitted there were secret sponsors (they admit so themselves now [1, 2, 3]; they used to name-call me - and arguably defame me - for saying so!), whom we plan to hold accountable when everything is over. It is still being investigated by British authorities - it's a big job because they already sent me well over 2,000 pages. They know they have no case, so they dump truckloads of papers to keep us 'busy'.

We must always go back to the core issues, including the mass plagiarism and vandalism of GNU/Linux. This is what they don't want us to do. This is what they are attempting to distract from. They are extremely vulnerable and overzealous for 'revenge' (against critics).

History shows that the eventual outcome - i.e. what happens quite inevitably - is every attempt to crush reporting of scandals becomes its own scandal.
