How to go about updating BIOS on a Linux laptop when only .exe is provided?

Jump

  • The fd file is likely the bios image. You can probably just stick it on a FAT usb drive or even just the EFI partition if you have one.

    You can probably flash that from the bios itself.

    The bios might expect a different file extension, so just rename it

    Contrast to asteroids that are irregular.

  • Mortal Engines. I have not read the source materials.

    Amazing concept, fantastic visuals, weak story, weak characters. Apparently just accidentally spliced in the end of Return of the Jedi instead of finishing the movie.

  • It was a technical marvel of the time, which is important to the people who made it, and maybe a few film buffs.

    It is just another monster movie.

  • I really enjoyed them because I really enjoyed the books as a child.

    A combination of nostalgia and a great portrayal of a very familiar story.

    Having said that, I certainly appreciate that they're actually crap for everyone else: and that's perfectly fine.

    No movie makes everyone happy, that's probably for the best.

  • Seconded on less swap. It depends on if you'd prefer to have a process be killed (have less swap) or the system go unresponsive for a while and eventually (hopefully) come back (more swap).

    Also if the swap is on a slow disk, try moving it to a faster one if possible.

  • Oh yeah, now that you mention it, there were dire humidity warnings all over the flooring I got.

    I imagine there might be similar disclaimers on carpets too

    • How can prostitution be arrestable? Other than an actual sting involving an officer, the exchange of money wouldn't be witnessed in almost all cases. So it's just two strangers having sex?
