Do those boxes ever get bios updates?
It’s something tech influencers should mention more often
- alias_neo 3y agoI got a Protectli one; bit overpriced but they provide instructions to compile Coreboot. They don't just give you a fish, they teach you to fish, then it's in your hands.
- ap-andersson 3y agoI personally use a router box from teklager.se and they use open source schematics and bios which are actually updated. Without having done a comparison I am assuming they are a more expensive option though. It has been small, silent and stable since I bought it pre-installed with OPNSense though, so I am happy with it.
- numpad0 3y agoWhy would you want BIOS updates? It’s not like firmware degrades over time. Frequency of zero day RCE fixes should not be taken as indication of better security.
- abwizz 3y agoall software has bugs, most of them get found over time. no updates, means you are sure to collect known deficiencies. > Frequency of zero day RCE fixes should not be taken as indication of better security. true, but lacking an alternative metric, it's at least helpful to gauge the willingness to not ignore problems.
