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

Same with SSL instead of TLS for some reason
Uwee feee
You’re 100% correct.
But I’m gonna keep calling it BIOS anyway.
U-E-F-I
meanwhile flashing the bios is still called flashing the bios
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
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
U-E-F-I
Ué fí(o)
EUGH, that’s like a whole extra SYLLABLE
(but this is also how I say it)
Or just uefi.
üfi, got it.
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!
Would that I could… she was already taken.
systemctl reboot --firmware-setupThis 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.
Handy thanks
Ooeefee
Nah. For me that was the “version” of bios in which I could finally use my mouse to select stuff
Ideally, I pronounce it “Libreboot.”
I say “yoofee”, but it hasn’t mattered so far because I’m pretty sure I’ve never actually said it to anyone.
U-E-F-I You ain’t got no alibi You ugly Eh! Hey! You ugly!
