> is there any motherboards out there for AMD64/X86_64 that comes without UEFI/BIOS? Your computer needs UEFI/BIOS for hardware initialization. There is a open implementation tho, see https://libreboot.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

UEFI is just another M$ abomination 8-( In this specific vulnerability, I wonder how possible it is to modify that boot logo remotely? Wouldn't exploiting this vuln require local access? As in all things, open firmware is the way to go: https://www.linuxboot.org/ https://libreboot.org/ https://www.coreboot.org/users.html. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

There was the spat of drama in 2016, and the view of "always in the middle of drama" is IMO confirmation bias since then. Today's drama is part of larger culture wars going on in the community: - The pro-RMS vs anti-RMS thing going on since RMS's removal from the FSF in 2019, much amplified by his reinstatement in 2021 (the latter of which lead to most of the FSF staff walking out). Is RMS still fit to lead the... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

Others can do this, too, if they really want the freedom. It is not hard, nor does it require expertise. It only requires the will to do it. Source: about 1 year ago

I see a lot of posts on here about people excited to libreboot their Thinkpad. I went over to libreboot.org itself and I can't understand what the benefit is to doing this? Source: about 1 year ago

I can recommend [Zephyr](https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr) for these things. Source: over 2 years ago

Zephyr, RIOT, NuttX are all open source RTOSes happy about contributions. Source: over 2 years ago

Microcontrollers are a good start. Boards are cheap and sensors are plentiful. You could get a yet unsupported board and port RIOT, Zephyr or NuttX. Source: over 2 years ago

Zephyr Project: Update to 2.5 or later.  Patches are available for prior supported versions. See the Zephyr security advisory for more information. Source: almost 3 years ago
