it stands for Big Integrated Operating System
I didn't even consider the notion of giving UEFI internet access dear Lord why do these companies consistently just have The Worst Ideas
oh a bunch of consumer motherboards let you update your firmware over the internet, which. isn't a recipe for disaster AT ALL.
presumably the firmware image has to be signed by the board manufacturer but good fucking lord why put it up to chance
my thinkpad has wifi drivers in ROM, recent wifi passwords in NVRAM, and can boot an .efi file over HTTPS or HTTP.
That sounds like a very bad idea, albeit network boot is something usually deliberately enabled and managed by someone who Knows What They're Doing, like grandpa wouldn't even be able to figure out how to turn it on.
it does this automatically if the bootloader is corrupted and connects to a chinese DNS/IP with no obvious connection to Lenovo.
(after some in-depth auditing, we came to the conclusion that vtt11 is either a very well disguised and privileged malware/APT op, or it's a Lenovo office/business/development unit/group)
I WAS JUST POSTING ABOUT HOW FUCKED UP IT IS MY MOTHERBOARD HAS THIS LIKE A WEEK AGO WE WERE BAFFLED BY IT HAVING NTFS DRIVERS FOR SEEMINGLY NO OTHER REASON
more accurately, it supports a variant called NTFS-A. it stands for Not This Fucking Shit Again 🤣😭
