Shouldn’t be too hard to have the BIOS write pseudo-random data to the DRAM as a last step in shut-down, no?

According to the article, the chips have to be cooled within seconds of the system shutting down to be able to recover the key from DRAM. That essentially means someone would have to steal a laptop that is still running to get the key. I’m not sure how big of a vulnerability this is in the real world.
