My question has also always been why? I usually don't get top of the line hardware, mostly hand-me-downs, and I assumed they're usually already updated because they were bought many years after their release. Are there any tangible benefits for me?
Im not the most tech savvy person but the only reason im doing mine is because im upgrading my cpu. Otherwise as far as im concerned its not necessary for casual use unless you are experiencing a problem an update could fix
#Photorec, part of testdisk, looks for raw data on the drive then puts results in the file table with generic names.
Retrieves the files, but quite cumbersome when dealing with lots of files though.
Decades ago there were computers with two, fash would be done on one and if failed it would boot from the other. Why did this not become the norm when bios chips are a few cents I will never know. Bean counters I guess.
Yeah im most just scared of fucking up my board because i did last year(unrelated issue) and had to find a new one (its from 2018 so used ones are sparse)
Flashback is built into the AM5 spec, unfortunately it doesn't seem to be required... . Or at least not on the MSI board I got and had to wait 3 weeks for RMA....

Now how do you update the pre-BIOS
It's was ok...
Older mobos that get new CPU support will need an update

Because it’s the only time I pray. 🤣
You, living in a first world country who hasn't had a power outage in like 2 years. "Fuck, it's gonna happen right now isn't it."
It feels like a middle finger from the universe

In the past, there was Dual BIOS, so if an update failed, you just have to flick a switch or change a jumper
