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

fuck UEFI, it was a solution to a problem that Microsoft and all the tech oligopolies made up.
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.
I say “yoofee”, but it hasn’t mattered so far because I’m pretty sure I’ve never actually said it to anyone.
I work close to firmware and this is how we all say it, and we say it often. When speaking to execs it’s always said by pronouncing each letter. You can watch us code shift (lingually) in meetings depending on who is asking the question.
You-ee-ef-eye
Just pronounce each letter. Am I doing it wrong?
ooeffy
Ideally, I pronounce it “Libreboot.”
UEFI is a BIOS
oofie
This used to bother me back when the distinction was meaningful and both options were possible. These days it’s like saying “Velcro” for hook-and-loop tape.
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.
U-E-F-I
EUGH, that’s like a whole extra SYLLABLE
(but this is also how I say it)
Ué fí(o)
Or just uefi.
üfi, got it.
It’s the initializer for the bootloader for the bootstrapper for the initializer for the service manager.
…how did we get there?
abstractions for abstractions. such is the world of the computer. and rightfully so, i wouldnt want to input binary and get binary output
Weffy
U-E-F-I You ain’t got no alibi You ugly Eh! Hey! You ugly!
EwwwwwAHYFiii…
This is how it’s pronounced in my head, and until now I’ve never had a reason for it.
