These defaults seem like a reasonable, pro-consumer choice. Great to know there's at least one vendor that helps to get around the restrictions Secure Boot creates for the user.

Secure Boot has always been an anti-feature, at least from the user's point of view. It seems really strange to complain your device isn't locked down enough by default: the restrictions can always be enabled manually if that's your kink.




By that logic any security feature is an antifeature. The problem with that logic is that you can't ignore the potential harm that is being protected against.


Security from the user, not for the user, is an anti-feature from the user's point of view. Security features in general are not.


Okay, but secure boot's purpose is protecting against malware.
