Does that mean I will have more choice in which surveillance agency I want to be spied by?
Maybe not, if Intel goes tits-up
Implying Intel motherboards will ever support more than US govt approved technology now that they have a substantial holding in Intel
I think that's their point. You wouldn't have a choice again if Intel goes out of business.
Ouch.
UEFI is a standard, not a product. You could make your own even
https://libreboot.org/
Or use this…
This doesn't support many boards.
True, but I really appreciate that someone is doing it. (It’s far beyond my capabilities…)
So that just means UBIOS is explicitly for spying since UEFI is open source and a standard right?
There's no need to change mobo to have that, just install Temu app or similars.
