  • Thanks for the heads-up!

    Do you think we are looking at UEFI or Intel ME rootkit here?

    I had an interesting case of a five-year-old laptop that I know they had previously used Ventoy on. After repairing the hardware and clean Win10 install, the BIOS update software (Windows executable) reported that the BIOS update was not necessary, even though it shows as several versions behind what’s available on HP’s website.

    My expertise is mainly in hardware It’s my understanding that with UEFI, we can’t simply dump the BIOS with something like an SPI programmer and compare to a fresh BIOS image (which I don’t have either because it’s now rolled into a proprietary Win exe from HP anyway).









  • Don’t remind me. I need a PVM to go with it. 😅 Although, I actually like the 240p composite video on the Trinitron TV, it looks exactly like it did back-in-the-day and indistiguishable from the real consoles’ composite output.

    The Lakka image I’m using is well-tuned with noticably less lag than some Pi setups I’ve seen. Interested Pi owners can find it here.

    I can’t find it, but someone has been collecting stats on input lag for many different USB gamepads/controllers as well.

    I was shocked at how badly I was playing Symphony of the Night on a PS Vita TV with a DualShock 4… it turned out to be the input lag… of an real Sony controller on a real Sony console. Connect it by USB cable - noticable lag went away. 🤬
