Netflix and chili
It allows Windows to create and store cryptographic keys and validate OS and firmware components haven't been tampered with.
Robot Chicken Vader.
Fund extremists to prevent the Palestinians from getting their shit together and making headway towards their own state and then act surprised when said extremists backfire hard.
And of course, it's innocent civilians on both sides that pay the price.
Like corporations would pass on literally tens of billions of dollars (yearly) just because they are big.
Unless Apple had it's own competing search service they have no reason to pass on that much money unless it becomes a huge liability.
Or not quite half a Twitter (pre-Musk).
Space stations cost less than what some "send a short message" platform does... insanity.
Botnets and malware rejoice!
I second MBR2GPT. With a guide it's quite straightforward to migrate from BIOS to EUFI but probably too scary for the average user.
It's not arbitrary. Securing an OS today is a huge challenge and Microsoft wants to leverage this tech to facilitate this. New hardware supports it, a lot of older hardware supports it and they strongly encourage this as the new standard.
Yes it means some people won't update without workarounds but they are setting a standard moving forward and for supported hardware, they were quite aggressive with the upgrade (I had to make sure the TPM was disabled in BIOS on a machine I didn't wish to upgrade early on).
Strange about your motherboard. I have an older one and just had to enable it via BIOS. I've heard some support it as an add-on module.
There's the Unibomber for one.
