Open source firmware is important for security
Agree with the author that UEFI is bad for security. You have this huge binary UEFI blob in a pre os boot environment that does not run open source. After the motherboard,laptop manufacturer looses interest and they loose interest as soon as the product does not sell more new products UEFI remains unpatched and insecure.<p>The boot loader should be simple and relatively dumb IMHO, then it is secure. If it should be bigger then it should be Open source.<p>Management processors like Intel ME built into the CPU, firmware another x86 insecurity.
