Pros and cons of disabling the default Microsoft key:
(Assuming you have secure boot enabled, and want the security that comes from that)
pros:
- You control your own key and have full choice over what software can start up on your computer, software cannot be approved by anybody else.
- Your secure boot security model is not vulnerable to the risk of booting 3rd party software with known security vulnerabilities.
- Sophisticated attackers with physical access to your computer cannot carry out an evil maid attack on your computer and convince it to trick you or steal your data.
cons:
- You need to have software installed to manage the key. There is software available for Ubuntu and NixOS.
- There are many buggy UEFI implementations out there that require the Microsoft key to load built-in oproms during standard boot, potentially bricking your computer.
- Software that gains root access to your computer could steal your signing key, potentially negating the benefits of secure boot against non-evil maid attacks.
That said, I use it my own signing keys, since I have a Framework AMD laptop that does not require MS keys to boot, and I consider evil maid attacks (going through customs) as a higher risk than accidentally running malware.

Get some William Lennon boots. Super durable and made in UK and cheaper than most big brand boots.
Probably have to send them back to the UK to be resoled because they use old school wire welts, but it’ll be years until you need to do that.
6 month lead time though.

Yeah definitely, the US system is very dysfunctional. A good amount of money simply gets lost in the bureaucracy.
Insurance companies are massive conglomerates that have to negotiate deals with tens of thousands of providers, millions of products, and millions of customers. Every Healthcare provider needs dedicated bureaucrats that can navigate the sea of paperwork. I don’t have the data in front of me, but I believe the US government pays about the same amount of money on healthcare as the Swedish government.
Any difference between what a Swede pays and what an American pays is just pure waste. A wasteland of pointless jobs.
There’s definitely some fuskbolag and dysfunctionalities in the Swedish system, but for the most part, Swedes are not wasting money keeping dozens of massive office towers filled with bureaucrats, and Swedes have a happier life because of it.

I know you’re asking about the US, but for comparison:
In Sweden it’s a flat 3.55% of your labor income, so about €100-200 a month for most people, and usually caps out at €200 for people doing tax planning. In either case, it’s paid by your employer so you don’t have to think about the cost.
Out of pocket yearly maximum is €145 for Healthcare and €380 for prescriptions (which was raised 30% this year by the far-right coalition 😑). Dental care is also mostly covered by insurance, but there’s a co-insurance between 50% and 15%.
