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

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

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.

Just comment or comment with post?

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?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Call down Satan.

*edit: Calm. but you know what? Call the man in red. He prolly should be taking notes.

Considering they allow to install application on the bios command (Armory Crate, that kind of shit), consider it already done.
