That’s it, they need to roll out ads in BIOS
Want to change your boot order?
You'll need to watch a 30 second ad, or subscribe for ad free BIOS for just 1.99/month
Sponsored product recommendations cannot be loaded without an internet connection. Please configure a wireless/ethernet adapter and connect to the internet to continue.
Nah you'll have to download a half-english app, sign up on a website you haven't heard before, request BIOS access code, wait up to a month and then you can do that
If they are gonna put advertisements in the bios then ill flash my pc with libreboot
BaaS??! Oh FFS. It's too real.
Thankfully no results from any actual BaaS companies yet
Key word: yet 😅
Don't give them any ideas. They are watching the forums 😂
The funny part is that windows will change your boot order back without your consent.
Would technically be doable in UEFI.... But I'm not mad enough to bring this shit to the world
Anyone who does should be trialed for crimes against humanity.
Creating an image of this and posting it on Lemmy = guaranteed XYZ upvotes.
Who wants to do it?q
Just comment or comment with post?
don't give them ideas, lol
Aren't there already? With vendor splash screens and all the graphics in the BIOS settings menus? Why don't I get paid every time Asrock gets to display their logo on my monitor at boot?
Considering they allow to install application on the bios command (Armory Crate, that kind of shit), consider it already done.
Call down Satan.
*edit: Calm. but you know what? Call the man in red. He prolly should be taking notes.
