The fun keeps on rolling in. Just when one controversy settles it's another. Now it's Gigabyte being caught running an insecure backdoor updater firmware in the UEFI upon computer startup, attached to the motherboard. This affects millions of boards across hundreds of different models. Whether it was done intentionally or out of sheer incompetence, who knows.

So! Can the world all start collectively agreeing to not buy Gigabyte's garbage?

Dear Gigabyte. Can you just ... not? Preferably asap and then forever more.
