Less Than Two Days Left to Turn Off "Secure Boot"
Where we are it's almost 9/10/2025 already (US-style date). A day later the Microsoft certificate expires; many firmware blobs won't be able to cope with that and GNU/Linux users will be 'locked out' of their PCs (see series below); the solution is to turn off "Secure Boot".
Don't say we didn't warn you.
Sure, some people won't be affected by that. But some will. Even Microsoft staff admits it. Some Microsoft staff attacks the people who talk about it. █
