If the battery died, all such settings were lost as soon as the computer was powered off.I wonder if any BIOS developers ever considered storing this information in a partition on the hard drive itself? No worries about the battery then.<a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retrocomputing</a>

Thor A. HoplandIsn't it about time we start rallying against <a href="https://snabelen.no/tags/proprietary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#proprietary</a> <a href="https://snabelen.no/tags/firmware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#firmware</a> already? From every <a href="https://snabelen.no/tags/EV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EV</a> and <a href="https://snabelen.no/tags/car" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#car</a> being a glorified <a href="https://snabelen.no/tags/telemetry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#telemetry</a> machine, to every chip out there basically harboring <a href="https://snabelen.no/tags/SecretSauce" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SecretSauce</a> with the "trust me bro" guarantee attached. Neither <a href="https://snabelen.no/tags/US" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#US</a> interests, <a href="https://snabelen.no/tags/Chinese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Chinese</a> interests or private interests should hold so much power. No one should. All firmware; I repeat, ALL FIRMWARE should be <a href="https://snabelen.no/tags/OpenFirmware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenFirmware</a>. The firmware isn't open? <a href="https://snabelen.no/tags/Ban" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ban</a> the <a href="https://snabelen.no/tags/product" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#product</a> outright.<a href="https://www.tarlogic.com/news/backdoor-esp32-chip-infect-ot-devices/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.tarlogic.com/news/backdoor-esp32-chip-infect-ot-devices/</a>

Thor A. HoplandGasp. I hope that it were true, but my heart has been broken by disappointment before (*cough*<a href="https://snabelen.no/tags/librem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#librem</a>*cough*). But I digress.Can somebody give me a damn <a href="https://snabelen.no/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> phone with <a href="https://snabelen.no/tags/openfirmware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#openfirmware</a>, <a href="https://snabelen.no/tags/gnome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gnome</a> or <a href="https://snabelen.no/tags/plasma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plasma</a> mobile, a decent camera, mic and screen with enough processing, memory and storage to meet with modern self hosting in mind.Indeed, who can deliver me my dream phone? I'd be ever so happy to know about it.Liberux – Privacy, Security, Freedom <a href="https://liberux.net/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://liberux.net/</a>
