This is outrageously hilarious.

I mean, if you had bought the fridge with ads already enabled and you get a subsidized pricing, so it is cheaper than all other non-ad showing fridges of same model… sure. I wouldn’t want it, but you at least get a discount.

But here you bought a fridge for full price and now later Samsung monetises your purchased product as ad space at no benefit at all to the customer? Damn.

Yeah and who is at fault for that?

Seems like that is the only way for now, so I’ll backup stuff and do it. I’ve been reading so many opinions how important it even is, I don’t think it is going to impact my use case of the laptop.

Thanks for responding!

It is a laptop that is more than 10 years old. Don’t think I ever updated the BIOS on it. So I guess that could mean it is going to be affected?

https://www.asus.com/ie/supportonly/ux433fn/helpdesk_bios/ it is this one, latest bios update is 2021. So I guess I might be screwed? Even if I use that to update, I mean?

Hm, I guess that should be visible somewhere in the BIOS, need to have a look later.

How can I check if my system will be affected or not?

It actually does support installation on a single drive but it requires tinkering so I wouldn’t recommend if you are just starting with Linux. Source: me, did it last year to test out, but don’t recall where I found the tutorial for it.

Does ACAB apply to RoboCop?

fw?

The fuck is that background. Biblically correct tweet background?

Don’t have a link to underline this but it was just a proposal and was not endorsed officially. This is not going to happen.

So, is there any consensus if secure boot is even needed at all? I’ve read so many different opinions about this the past few days and have no idea.

Am I too European to understand what this is about?

What in the fresh Facebook hell is this?
