What's the point of Libreboot besides >muh FLOSS? Is

>>57358968
Well, if you're afriad of backdoors being built into your BIOS which would allow the NSA access to the government secrets stored on your hard drive that you pulled off of an i2p site, it's a pretty good idea.

Site/git repo hijacked by a tranny, GNU is finding a new maintainer.

Ignore Libreboot until shit blows over.

Was going to ignore it anyway.

The project wasn't hijacked by a tranny. Francis (or whatever it's name is now) always maintained an iron grip on the git, which wasn't an issue until he went all SJW over some tranny bring fired from FSF.

It's always amusing to me that people still insist that the US government (and others) aren't attempting to subvert every means of electronic communications available.

Get a load of this guy.

Maybe someone should tell him about a guy called Snowden.

Libreboot is just fake which commie-dictator Stallman substituted to make more money
Don't be fooled, use the original https://www.coreboot.org/

>blobs in bios
no thanks
the whole point of using an alternate bios is to have it be as free as possible not to look like the most special snowflake

>>57363450
Do not install them if you do not need it
Or you too stupid to do it yourself?

>>57364490
why would I go through the trouble of digging through it myself when someone on Libreboot already deblobbed and made everything ready to flash? The stupid one is clearly the one that wastes time doing something complex that has already been done

Also, you don't seem to understand that nothing after 2008 can be blob free due to X86 cancer design choices

>>57364523

The **00 series is from 2010. Even now, some newer chrome books are being deblobbed.

>>57364749
there is no workaround for ME signature manifest signing check since it was implemented in 2008 so nothing on X86 is going to get completely deblobbed by the standards of a free system

>Before version 6.0 (that is, on systems from 2008/2009 and earlier), the ME can be disabled by setting a couple of values in the SPI flash memory. The ME firmware can then be removed entirely from the flash memory space. libreboot does this on the Intel 4 Series systems that it supports, such as the Libreboot X200 and Libreboot T400.

Maybe you have your dates mixed up, but the **00 series came out in 2010 and it has ME disabled.

>>57358968
this is the equivalent of vegan faggots telling you how good they are because they don't murder animals.
Fuck them, fuck every single stupid piece of shit that fell for the libreboot and all the FLOSS cult mentality, they are cancer and they are detrimental to anything good that can come out of that community.
Zealots need to get killed or die a lonesome death.

>>57364886
is it perhaps the difference between disabled and completely removed from flash mem space? I thought everything past 6.0 had to be enabled to pass the signature check for booting

or maybe the **00 series is using ME 6.0 or earlier for some reason (this seems unlikely)
