Dear community,
I hope this message finds you well. I want to take a moment to address the concerns raised in Issue #2795 regarding the BLOB functionality in our app. First and foremost, I sincerely apologize for any confusion or frustration this may have caused. I was on vacation during this time, and I understand that my absence may have contributed to the lack of clarity surrounding this issue.
The BLOB feature is an important aspect of our app, and I recognize that the documentation surrounding it has not been as clear as it should be. I appreciate your patience as we work through these challenges, and I want to assure you that I am fully committed to resolving this matter.
As I return to work, I will prioritize updating the documentation to provide a comprehensive understanding of how the BLOB functionality works. I will also investigate the specific concerns raised in Issue #2795 to ensure that any underlying issues are addressed promptly.
Your trust in our software is paramount, and I am dedicated to regaining any confidence that may have been affected by this situation. I am confident that, with your continued support and feedback, we can enhance the app and provide a better experience for all users.
Thank you for your understanding and for being a part of our community. I look forward to sharing updates with you soon as we work towards improving our app and its documentation.
Warm regards, longpanda
Thanks for the heads-up!
Do you think we are looking at UEFI or Intel ME rootkit here?
I had an interesting case of a five-year-old laptop that I know they had previously used Ventoy on. After repairing the hardware and clean Win10 install, the BIOS update software (Windows executable) reported that the BIOS update was not necessary, even though it shows as several versions behind what's available on HP's website.
My expertise is mainly in hardware It's my understanding that with UEFI, we can't simply dump the BIOS with something like an SPI programmer and compare to a fresh BIOS image (which I don't have either because it's now rolled into a proprietary Win exe from HP anyway).
Could be, theres a lot of speculation on the open issue in the ventoy github.
