Microsoft seems to have deleted all their old blog posts around it (at least all the links to their responses 404 now), but…
In 2011, they were going to require it to be enabled for all products if they wanted to announce Windows 8 support.
After huge backlash, they changed it to allow motherboard companies to disable it for X years (since I can’t find the original, I can’t say the exact length of time)
But their original goal was for it to never be allowed to be disabled
More importantly: I no longer support Microsoft
How were you able to rip out secure boot?
I just made sure to buy a motherboard that allows disabling secure boot in the BIOS.
There are ones that don’t? That’s scary

Would’ve been nice for them, wouldn’t it? Given they are also the authority for who gets those god damm keys.
Always the same with the corposcum.
