Add UEFI on your PC and DRM in your browser.

And next, your governement will ask you to add its anti pedo-pornography tools.

And then we have a new episode of Black Mirror...




UEFI is here, browser DRM for video is here, browser DRM for text+ads on ordinary web pages is just around the corner, government won't ask anyone - the tools will be added at the ISP level, if they're not already installed and operational.


> government won't ask anyone

Wishful thinking. That government hasn't asked anyone yet (at least in public information) is a miracle in itself.


You didn't understand my meaning: Government never asks. It just does things whether you agree or not.


What's your problem with UEFI? If your OEM wanted to install malicious firmware they can do that in BIOS no?
