Yoo-fi? Yoo-ef-ee?
They shoulda made it easier to pronounce if they wanted people to call it that
Lately I've been bending people's names in cursive writing style out of coathanger wire.
The last name I made, I did not post. Why? I have no clue how to pronounce it..
Ogbuefi
You Eee Eff Eye
This one
ÜFI
meanwhile flashing the bios is still called flashing the bios
You-Fee
Nah. For me that was the "version" of bios in which I could finally use my mouse to select stuff
U-E-F-I
You Aint Got No Alibi
You-ee-fee
wee fye
When describing the boot process, bios. When configuring some CPU or memory setting, bios. When talking about some specific boot menu config, uefi.
Oo-Eh-Fee or in normal notation: all vowels are pronounced the normal Italian way U-E-FI
BIOS sounds good. It's got that cold hard logic stamped steel ring to it.
"We've got the update the BIOS". Okay. Everyone understands that.
The BIOS boots before the OS. Got it.
"Make sure to configure your UEFI"
"My what?"
Uweee Eff Aye I met a girl online that literally called it Uni Extee Feee because it rhymed and sounded better to her and it drove the other techs she knew crazy.
Wifey that woman!
Is that just a style pose, or does she have back problems from carrying that. Is that what the arm guard is for? To rebalance her weight?
I think BIOS has just morphed into meaning the firmware interface, nobody calls it UEFI. Everyone does indeed just say BIOS, which is okay. You can be more specific when it matters, which is basically never in the mass market.
Doesn't a UEFI provide a system for basic input and output?
So by that metric, isn't a UEFI, by default, also a BIOS?
systemctl reboot --firmware-setup
This will cause a Linux machine to reboot directly into the UEFI. I know it's not groundbreaking but it can be really handy if you use fast-boot. At least your days of pecking the Delete key during POST will be over.
Windows does this too, though I've forgotten the method.
