BIOS update successful!

[-] Irelephant@lemm.ee 8 points 1 week ago

That reminds me of a time I was trying to upgrade my graphics drivers on windows, the settings app had a "AMD Firmware Package" option, which I chose, because it was an amd gpu.

It was a bios update.

Windows's ux was so bad I installed a bios update by mistake.

I mean it's kind if good that both WU on Windows and LVFS/fwupd on Linux seamlessly deliver and install SBIOS updates.

Chances are it was worth installing, if a little inconvenient at the time.

Deliberately bad software or bad design is not software gore, it must be something unintentional
