minus-squareooklinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-21 month agoIt is a laptop that is more than 10 years old. Don’t think I ever updated the BIOS on it. So I guess that could mean it is going to be affected? https://www.asus.com/ie/supportonly/ux433fn/helpdesk_bios/ it is this one, latest bios update is 2021. So I guess I might be screwed? Even if I use that to update, I mean?
