  • I know for HP machines, the bios updater exe can be decompressed and you can just get the bios image and the signature file from that.

    Idk what machine you have, but at least for an older aspire laptop my friend has, there is a bios download.

    If you follow instructions to make bios recovery media, you can update your bios through that.

    Edit: that Acer laptop you have doesn't even show up on Acer's support page. Supposedly it's sold as an Acer aspire a something or other. If you search based on your snid, you should be able to get to a downloads page.

    Also clevo seems to make this laptop, according to the Acer India webpage I found for it

  • I'm an ecology major and that came up a lot in the papers I read. It largely shows up in forest ecology papers, which should have an overlap with chronic wasting disease, considering that deer populations have had this for a while and deer play a huge role in forest ecology.

    First time my senior seminar class encountered it in an assigned paper, we all asked why that particular acronym.

    It's been largely a meme in that seminar class as a result.

  • Prions are quite stable, and also they don't need to stay in the soil for long, just enough to get reconsumed. Supposedly that's how CWD (chronic wasting disease, not coarse woody debris), is spread among deer.

    Edit: in context with composting, overall temps would be higher in such a pit but not by much. Its anywhere from room temp to 140F/60C. Prion destruction is a lot higher temp wise. As for bacteria in the pile, maybe? It might be more likely to become meaningfully degraded in a compost pile instead of normal soil.

    As for cwd prion bio accumulation, it's been hypothesized but not demonstrated (like grass picking it up from the soil itself). It's spread in saliva and indirectly from the environment which is probably why you shouldn't feed deer in areas with cwd and explains a lot of the spread. Also apparently the scrapie prion can endure for 16 years. Wtf.
