Yoo-fi? Yoo-ef-ee?
They shoulda made it easier to pronounce if they wanted people to call it that

I like UEFI because of the way it sounds. I bet most non-native English speakers agree on it’s pronunciation.
Same with SSL instead of TLS for some reason

meanwhile flashing the bios is still called flashing the bios
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
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?”
Your use of “everyone” is a nice example of xkcd 2501
You’re 100% correct.
But I’m gonna keep calling it BIOS anyway.
It does seem to serve the same purpose, an “OS” under the OS so 🤷
I don’t think the OS is the same in BIOS. It is “Basic Input Output System”
Seems like it should be BI/OS, then, haha.
Something something bi erasure
Common misconception, it actually stands for Basic Initial Operating System /s
Which operates the system
Nah. For me that was the “version” of bios in which I could finally use my mouse to select stuff
When describing the boot process, bios. When configuring some CPU or memory setting, bios. When talking about some specific boot menu config, uefi.
You-ee-fee
