Comment on Hard drive hack provides root access, even after reinstallparent

Comments

For PC's and smartphones, which can have higher level security structures, the community is violently against secure boot. For firmware based embedded components, most people aren't so strongly opposed to it.

Not that their opinion is the community's, but the FSF is not against secure boot even for PCs and smartphones, only against "restricted boot" - that is, secure boot without giving the keys to the user.
