> TIL: It's possible for UEFI code to access the internet.
Quite surprising to see lots of tech-oriented users here finally discovering UEFI having access to the internet after years of even the basics like "Internet Recovery" being used on Apple Macs or even sysadmins using netbooting on diskless systems.
There is always a IP/Net stack section in the UEFI menu on nearly every modern PC which gives you this hint, but it isn't useful for the 95% of users, except for sysadmins, recovery, security and even malware writers.
> What could possibly go wrong?
Indeed. A lot can go wrong. I bet someone will do a Wordle clone in UEFI next.
