    Signed firmware doesn’t cost anything, so I’m not sure what you mean by “keep the poors out.” Signed firmware has a very valid use case for preventing supply chain attacks. The only time I have an issue with it if there’s no way to make your own signed package or bypass the requirement.

      It costs the ability to flash your own firmware.

      The only time I have an issue with it if there’s no way to make your own signed package or bypass the requirement.

      That’s 100% of all signed firmware implementations.
