If it's running Windows then sometimes BIOS updates can be delivered through Windows update.
Yes it's just as bad an idea as it seems.

- buescher 4y agoI am pretty sure I have seen it on Ubuntu also.
- Shared404 4y agoI've not seen it yet on Ubuntu, at least not through the default update path - occasionally I'll see a pop up for "firmware update available" though. Windows will automatically deploy the BIOS update along with any other automatically deployed updates. That being said, I rarely use vanilla Ubuntu and rarely use Dell, so maybe I've just not seen it and it does happen.
- taubek 4y agoThis is such a bad idea. For large systems/companies there are management platforms.
