editorial: we will control all you do and boot

Hi.
I have been meaning to do this stuff for like ages but never got round to it.
Today being sunday and the fact there is little to do today online, I
thought I’d post this up.
Yesterday I checked ms update site notifications.
A lot of detections changes etc came up.
Now not a big issue.
However FOr all the new eufi bioses that are in secure boot ms has
put out an update last year to fix some noncomplient modules or
modules their authors wanted to have removed.
At the time I never giave it a second thought.
I don’t need secure boot though I can do that.
Standard is fine.
But with all the security and other stuff going on in the us, its
starting to scare me.
The update was updated to revalidate its signature for some stuff
that did not detect the update.
I am not sure if I could cheer or geer microsoft.
On one hand if there was an noncomplient module that posed a danger
then sure I’d like it stopped.
However we are given little information on what those modules are or
in fact in the case of the new bios what a module means.
So I can only assume it has to do with devices or drivers for a
device or both its probably not as dire but still.
The part of the article on windows update twitter which states “the
modules are not released to the public” gives me a bad feeling.
What are they not telling us.
Though ms doesn’t well can not certify everything several devices I
have are not ms or are not passing ms driver certification.
This brings a scary picture.
You turn on your system and windows does not load.
Or loads strangely.
You get a message, your system can not boot because it contains non
microsoft critified devices.
Please consult your system manufacturer.
Since just about everything is not ms bar ms devices, you will have a problem.
I have several realtech intel devices, printers, and the like.
vary few devices are actually ms labeled.
Could ms modify the bios to stop anything bar devices that say
microsoft or that are certified by microsoft from starting.
Now with manufacturers most should be aware and comply with whatever
so maybe external devices, etc.
though a few devices on my laptops and other systems are not
certified and you are warned when installing.
I realise the security risks but it scares me that the public are
given little information on what is being blocked and given a vague
info set to what is not loaded.
Lets hope that this only ever effects secure boot and not standard.
I will never securely boot my system or secure my system with
anything bar a local account.
It may be a bit dangerous but what is the of a system that will only
start because of microsoft bits not being there.
Oh well win7 and earlier has not this issue so in the short term I’ll use that.
If it ever becomes a problem I may have to get away from microsoft completely.
