This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

not j4k3 but my understanding is that the default keys are expiring soon and need to be rotated, and the rotation is up to your Mobo OEM to push out (?). I am not entirely sure that is correct, but I think it is.

Pros and cons of your own key: Pros: its your key, so youre responsible for your security

Cons: its your key, so youre responsible for your security

I got a good chuckle out of the pros and cons list lol, ty for that.

I'll have to look into self owned boot keys now.

Thanks for chiming in
