OP here. You came to the right conclusion. This is inspired by Wikipedia.

Coreboot looks promising. Do you know why the CPU speeds are so bad? And do they get better once the main operating system starts up?

If the update is only for supporting new hardware, then there is usually no benefit to the user. They already have a machine that is supported by a previous firmware version. Only in those cases where a user upgrades the hardware there migh

I agree. But we could still try to have a smaller hardware initialisation system. And if there is the occasional need to patch a security vulnerability, then that patch is probably a lot more straightforward.

I know that firmware (and software in general) has bugs. But I wonder why modern firmware for UEFI has to be so complex, that it needs updates on a regular basis. It would be nice to have a dead-simple hardware-initialisation system that do

Depends on what your goals are. If you want to be well-informed for the nerdy water-cooler talk in the office kitchen, then you need to read a lot. Otherwise, just don't worry about it, because important topics get re-posted. If you mi

Thank you for your comment. I feel so many people completely forgot how little data our actions left behind not so long ago.

Interesting take-away: > Claude is unable to look at code, look at refactorings in general and work out which are suitable to apply: a human needs to actively guide it. Claude is happy to produce a very large Rust file. But you need huma
