I once met a person that never drank water, only soft drinks. It’s not the unhealthiness of this that disturbed me, but the fact they did it without the requisite paperwork.
Unlike those disorganised people I have a formal waiver. I primarily drink steam and crushed glaciers.
Windows update fetches all sorts of things now. If the hardware advertises X device then Windows update will check if it has anything for it. Approved vendors can provide all sorts of guff. Historically that has included drivers that intentionally brick your devices. HP probably packaged up some software that updates the BIOS and got it into the Windows Update DBs.
This is something HP should have handled.
If a bad update is rolled out then it’s the responsibility of the software maker partner (HP) and the distributor (Microsoft), not just one or the other.
Those laptops are THEIR products, not Microsoft’s.
Both Microsoft and HP have branding on their laptops and a responsibility post-sale for the reliability of their systems. Hardware, firmware and OS responsibilities are all party to this chain of failure.

Perhaps imported and then assembled in Australia?

I think it will take insane amounts of effort to wrangle the model into not doing its own thing. Possibly more than the amount of effort it takes to animate manually.
“Yes this is brilliant, now generate just a few more se… why have you added a clone of my character? What? And why have the emotions on the faces of the other two swapped again? Arghh it’s confusing the subjects again! Now the room has started strobing too, goddammit this is a bathtub not a disco!”

Brilliant book.
I like the bit about how proud the author was to develop a purple liquid rocket fuel, but then discover it wasn’t useful :(
Magazine CDs and DVDs were my bacon.

Filthy casual.
My family has a Chiq U58G7P. Warm boots take about 30 sec and cold boots a few minutes.
Don’t try and press any buttons on the remote during this time or for a minute or two afterwards. They might work, 15 seconds later, or they might get ignored. Sometimes your button press inputs get re-ordered too.
Factory resets do work, but then all it can do is broadcast TV. If you let it update and install streaming apps then you will be back to the same problems.
I suspect that it might be running out of RAM and thrashing some poor innocent MMC as swap, but I can’t find a USB ADB port to properly find out (maybe it has one internally?).
25/10 for 65AUD/m (43USD/m). Australia, NBN (monopoly across entire country, technically government owned but run like a private corp because of politics). It’s the lowest speed now available, but it’s already overpriced. $780/year is far more than all of my wifi capable equipment is worth together, including laptops.
+1 to runit. So much simpler than systemd unit files.

Any other way to see this? Or is this show not freely available (ie you have to pay for it)?
He’s lost a finger in his zipper!
Nice, ty. I’ve only revenged PC firmware, not embedded, so I wouldn’t think of several of those tools.
I know a model of HP inkjet from my childhood that had a service/factory mode where ink checks were disabled. After years of claiming that its carts were empty I was suddenly able to print perfect full-colour pages. RIP HP Photosmart 3110
Congrats :) The idea that a few software bits are between you and getting a pile of junk working is infuriating. Did you extract and modify an image from flash or find a way in live?
Ditto with my printer. Print over LAN: sure. Printer connect to internet: hell no, that’s the first-party version of printer malware.

Ah thanks, sorry, I was thinking of my MK3.
