6730b Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Even after dozens and dozens of successful flashes on all kinds of machines, the fear of imminent catastrophy & destruction always surfaces from somewhere, maybe over the years ones genes \ DNA got mutated to include digital fear & anxiety as a most basic survival tool :O) And yes, all well this time too !

kojack Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Is what it is, if my systems crash because of a bios update and they die, I will get a new one. Hopefully its my desktop since I can change out the mother board, case and PSU then have a new fully running system again without too much trouble. If it's ny notebook, then I guess one of the few new systems I am looking at will be ordered.

6730b Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 And survived another one :O) along with a mysterious 'TPM 2.0 firmware update'. Both labeled CRITICAL Mixing such updates with Bitlocker = suspense until sucessful boot. Got 100% trust in bitlocker itself, but way less in new firmwares' possible implications (and in own deads ...or misdeads lol). Of course got backups of contents and keys ready if anything should ever go overboard.

kojack Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 I did my 3 dells today. The bios update made them all much faster. I think the previous one screwed alot of things up. My system is now quiet, fast, and has better battery life. Went from 4.5 to over 9 hrs. The previous bios upgrade screwed everything in the system. 1 Workstation - Dell XPS 8940 - desktop creative powerhouse Mobile Workstation - Dell inspiron 5406 2 in 1 - mobile creative beast Wifey's Notebook - Dell inspiron 3169 - Little gem for our businesses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6730b Posted November 14 Author Share Posted November 14 And another one, lots of Intel security stuff. All well once more, seems Dell does good homework. Appreciating the launch setup from within windows. 1 Dell Precision 5540 w10 ltsc 1809 (+ O&O shutup), HP i5 desktop w10 ltsc 1809 (+ O&O shutup), Dell E7440 w8.1, Tosh w8.1.
