  • I’ve had three boards that advertised that/recovery bios that I needed the feature for, and none of them have worked. Also even if the features does work, it’s a one-shot safety net; what are you going to do, abort your plan to update? If you did everything right the first time, you’ll just end up with two bad flashes, so you’re right back to nail-biting anxiety.

    You’d think that a board would auto-revert from a failed flash, or - just spitballing here - make their fucking firmware for their fucking hardware not fucking fail spectacularly from basic testing and quality control. But I guess failed flashes drive sales so fuck fixing the problem, I guess.

    Ugh. Actually angry about this, phones have had this issue solved for 15 years now but motherboards that have been around for like 50+ years, nah, too complex to fix. Sales go up ooga booga.

    Yeah, it’s one of those things where I was like, ‘it’s no extra cost, and can save me headaches in the future’ so why not. And I used the same colors for the entire run of each room, so if I ever forget what color a room is, I just look at the wall plate and cable.

    I just ran patch cables, got them from Monoprice. Every room got a different color, in case I ever need to repair/replace a rooms connecting cable. Router to switch, switch to wall, wall to attic to other wall, wall to device. With faceplates + keystone jacks between the two sides of the walls.

    Now that’s classified. The cold war? It was crucial information in that conflict. Getting them in is relatively simple once you understand the dynamics of it. But we tried for a decade and never could successfully reverse the process. Some say they can still hear the neighs over the old AM frequencies.
