🪟 Secure Boot CA 2011 dying in 2026 = Linux finally cashing the “Microsoft trust anchor” bill. This matters because your boot chain shouldn’t depend on a Microsoft expiry date. #Windows #Microsoft #SecureBoot #Linux #UEFI

BIOS飛ばしたりTPM消したり、もちろんSecureBootは最初から切ってるけどダメ。
ググると、Locked NVMemと言われる。これはBIOS初期値とかで直るはずなんだがだめ。
諦めて別のSSDにLubuntu24を初期導入。
問題ない。
問題ないから、EFIパーティションをまるっとコピーしたりもしたけど頑なに駄目。

league doesn't require secureboot.
we have a few too many LoL players with legacy BIOS to go ham on fully requiring it (yet). that's actually why some of the most popular cheats for LoL are USB bootkits.

Electricity Theft Starts Before the Meter Takes a Reading
Secure boot is one of those hardware security features that sounds technical until you understand what it prevents.
A technician can physically access a meter, replace the firmware with a modified version that reports false readings, and the meter will run it without question.
Secure boot changes that.
Before executing a single instruction, the chip verifies the cryptographic signature of the firmware.
If the firmware has been tampered with or comes from an untrusted source, the chip refuses to boot.
This protection is enforced at the silicon level.
It cannot be disabled through a software update or a remote command.
In Africa, where electricity theft costs utilities hundreds of millions annually,
secure boot is not just a feature.
It is the difference between a meter you can trust and one you cannot.
At Nelix, we're building silicon security from the first instruction executed because trust in critical infrastructure starts at boot.
What more can we do to mitigate electricity theft in Africa?

🪟 Surface firmware “AI risk” that turns devices into bricks? Cool. Microsoft spent 90 days patching, but the real lesson is OS bugs shouldn’t be able to hard-kill your laptop. #Windows #Microsoft #Surface

14 days. Secure Boot certificate deadline is June 26. If you haven't patched yet — this is your last serious warning. 🚨
Today is June 12. June 26 is 14 days away.
What you NEED to have done by June 26:
Step 1: Install June 9 cumulative update (KB5089549) ✅
Step 2: Install servicing stack update KB5089573 ✅
Step 3: RESTART your PC (the restart is mandatory — not optional) ✅
Step 4: Verify: Settings → Windows Update → "You're up to date" ✅
Who is at risk if they miss June 26:
▪ Corporate PCs on deferred update policies (IT admins: push it NOW)
▪ Home PCs that get notifications dismissed repeatedly
▪ Gaming rigs that are "always on" and never properly restarted
▪ Any PC that shows a pending restart notification
After June 26 with no patch:
▪ Secure Boot enters degraded state permanently
▪ No Windows Update fix available
▪ Only OEM firmware update can remediate — could take months from HP/Dell/Lenovo
14 days. 3-minute fix. Zero downside to updating early.
Just do it. This weekend. 🔐

🪟 Firmware “bricked by one packet” is the real headline, not the narrow patch. AI-generated scripts just found the trust gap—Windows can’t save you from bad boot land.

🪟 Windows 11 USB “fresh media” to 25H2 26200.8655 = Microsoft admitting the installer is basically a security update vector. Good. Fewer outdated first boots, fewer “why is Wi‑Fi broken?” moments.

Secure boot verifies that boot software hasn't been tampered with before loading the OS. UEFI Secure Boot prevents bootkit attacks that persist below the OS level. Enable it on all enterprise endpoints. #SecureBoot #EndpointSecurity
