  Wait yeah can someone explain why this exploit couldn’t be used to say rewrite it to support coreboot and turn this into a good thing?

    because you need the coreboot people to write firmware that can initialise the system, and that probably takes a lot of reverse engineering

    I don’t know much about this, but I assume there’s little to no effort for corebooting on the amd side, I’ve only seen intels platforms with coreboot sorry

      There are coreboot AMD projects for the framework laptop
