The #LogoFail #UEFI #exploit is a perfect example of how capitalism fucks everything up. So many people worked so hard on securing UEFI against #bootkits but having a goddamn image load was necessary for capitalist "intellectual property" to be enforced, thus opening this vulnerability for literally every Windows and Linux system with a hardware manufacturer logo loading in boot, which is most of them. https://arstechnica.com/security/2023/12/just-about-every-windows-and-linux-device-vulnerable-to-new-logofail-firmware-attack/
This isn't a security fail, it's a #capitalism fail, because the social/legal regime of #intellectualproperty is actually unnecessary and oppressive, and in this case prevented people from designing secure systems.
