HP bricks ProBook laptops with bad BIOS delivered via automatic updates — many users face black screen after Windows pushes new firmware (www.tomshardware.com)

On May 26, a user on HP’s support forums reported that a forced, automatic BIOS update had bricked their HP ProBook 455 G7 into an unusable state. Subsequently, other users have joined the thread to sound off about experiencing the same issue....

Kbobabob ,

What does a motherboard BIOS have to do with Windows other than that was how the update was delivered? I swear Lemmy loves to shoehorn Linux into any article that even mentions Windows.

Kbobabob ,

And presumably not an HP motherboard, so this doesn’t really apply to you.

It’s a male bartender

Maybe they just thought it was a Jerry Springer show.

Oopsie poopsie…

Because everything went to shit

Apple crushes creativity and its reputation in new iPad ad (www.theregister.com)

The ad itself depicted a mechanical crusher destroying artifacts of human creativity. A trumpet, guitar, sculpture, piano, drawing board, paints, a metronome, several analog cameras, a turntable, and hi-fi equipment were among the much-loved items yielding to the machine’s unstoppable force.

Kbobabob ,

Especially considering this ad from LG in 2008.

After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year (www.billboard.com)

When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers. Higher subscription prices typically equate to a bump in U.S. mechanical royalties — but not...

You don’t need to be a “seasoned sailor”. It’s incredibly easy IMO to get what you want if you’re willing to put forth a tiny amount of effort.

About tree fiddy

This is assuming that they would know and understand the code. Also, that nothing is encrypted but I guess encryption can be broken.

Kbobabob ,

OP says reprogram all of the satellites. So I would assume that would include the modern ones with encryption as well.

Kbobabob ,

That is nothing like this one really.

Kbobabob ,

Did they shoot any pumpkins out of the cannons? This used to be a thing when I was involved.

Kbobabob ,

This rage bait question could be reworded as…

Why do people consume <anything> when we know it’s bad for the earth.

Kbobabob ,

Why would there be? I didn’t think these were for consumers.

Kbobabob ,

I guess it’s time to switch to Linux

Kbobabob ,

You’re being down voted but you’re not wrong.

Kbobabob ,

The Fed? As in the one that regulates the interest rates?

Kbobabob ,

I’m looking at the price of cable and specifically NFL Sunday ticket and you still get ads. If they are actually subsidized then it ain’t much IMO. I’ll continue to watch the free versions without ads.

Kbobabob ,

But, but… there’s a tiny disclaimer about gambling addictions

Not every job has an HR department. And it’s my understanding that HR is primarily to benefit the company. I’ve never worked for a company with an HR department so take that for what it’s worth.

18 cars? Were they stacked or did they just drive off the end after it collapsed?

Welcome to hell

Is it too much to hope that Trump won’t be able to attend anyway because of prison?

Kbobabob ,

you missed a part

Kbobabob ,

What a dumb comment. Yes, let’s just throw out the due process.

Kbobabob ,

Lol

Kbobabob ,

I thought this was an India thing…

    Why is the color for blocked green? If you’re stopping something it should be red.

    Kbobabob ,

    If you block the road so someone doesn’t drive off the end then you would not use a green sign. I understand the thought process, I just don’t agree with it.

    Kbobabob ,

    This looks like it would be a fun project to work on.

    Kbobabob ,

    It’s on game pass if you just want to try it out.

    Kbobabob ,

    There are actually written laws…

    Kbobabob ,

    Maybe they just don’t like lawsuits? There is a reason the word allegedly is used so often.

    Kbobabob ,

    Sounds like all the more reason to do something about it

    Kbobabob ,

    Does the federal government actually care about the VA or veterans? I’m sure there are exclusions for life safety though.

    Kbobabob ,

    There are so many veterans unable to get care because the government drags their ass. Their paperwork system is so old that it takes forever to get anything approved.

    Kbobabob ,

    Almost as bad as sitting on your ass being mad and making comments about people making comments about someone doing something incredible.

    Kbobabob ,

    That seems like it would fall under the delayed category.

    Kbobabob ,

    I would rather see an effort to do something about the nets

    Kbobabob ,

    It can be both. The reality is that this is likely one mentally ill person while there are thousands being killed by fishing nets but I didn’t see any articles or rewards posted for those killers.

    Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone (www.theverge.com)

    Microsoft is starting to enable ads inside the Start menu on Windows 11 for all users. After testing these briefly with Windows Insiders earlier this month, Microsoft has started to distribute update KB5036980 to Windows 11 users this week, which includes “recommendations” for apps from the Microsoft Store in the Start menu....

    Kbobabob ,

    I made it through two whole top level comments before getting to a switch to Linux comment.

    Kbobabob ,

    I don’t see anything in the comment that would insinuate that.

    Kbobabob ,

    No. Where did it say anything about anyone else? You are the one implying that this only applies to one group. The OP is just saying they are disappointed by a certain group.

    Kbobabob ,

    I’m curious what sex toys they look like to you

    Kbobabob ,

    On Android?

    Record numbers in the US are homeless. Can cities fine them for sleeping in parks and on sidewalks? (apnews.com)

    The justices on Monday will consider a challenge to rulings from a California-based appeals court that found punishing people for sleeping outside when shelter space is lacking amounts to unconstitutional cruel and unusual punishment....

    Kbobabob ,

    Homelessness was FAR worse in the 80s

    Source? Is that a percentage or raw number of people you’re referring to?

    Kbobabob ,

    I failed to see how that is far worse when the numbers today are higher

    Kbobabob ,

    Ok, so it’s a percentage? Again, I’m curious where this data comes from because I cannot find it.
