RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
- Keep it clean and SFW
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

My favorite was trying to get some other tech to update BIOS and essentially telling them "run it again, except this time READ THE FUCKING PROMPTS/OUTPUT" in the politest way possible. Funny enough, their BIOS update went through that time!
The recent BIOS updates for some of these Precisions and Latitudes have really tested the patience of my team…yeah, reading literally anything on the screen is apparently a lost art.
It was the Dells (in my case, desktops) for me too 😅 BIOS updates were pushinf through WUFB for the HPs, which is great, until HP pushes a janky BIOS update.
