  • How do I manually check for BIOS security updates from my motherboard manufacturer?

    Jump

  • So, folks who responded are conflating BIOS with UEFI. It's a common mistake - but they are very different things that serve the same purpose.

    BIOS is older technology. It usually wasn't risky unless the board was somehow faulty, but there was always some risk because you were directly reflashing the CMOS.

    UEFI is the current technology. If your board is less than 10 years old, you almost definitely have UEFI and not BIOS. It's stored in NOR flash memory on the motherboard.

    UEFI's nature and design make it much simpler and safer to update. UEFI can be updated automatically within Linux; BIOS requires the board manufacturer's utility to reprogram the CMOS.

    I'm simplifying some of this. But this should help explain the conflicting responses of what gets updated under Linux.

  • What's your favorite movie?

    In the U.S., "little (place)" is simply a neighborhood with a large population from some other country.

  • Yeah, it really turns tropes on their head.

  • What's the most inspiring quote from Telletubbies?

    Jump

  • "Engage people with what they expect; it is what they are able to discern and confirms their projections. It settles them into predictable patterns of response, occupying their minds while you wait for the extraordinary moment — that which they cannot anticipate."
