Chromebooks will get 10 years of automatic updates
Why BIOS (did you mean UEFI?) when it runs the best boot loader, which is Coreboot¹. Many users would love to re-flash their bios/uefi for it, if it’s supported.

C++ is everywhere, but noone really talks about it. What are people's thoughts?

Asus flip c302 last update
You can also use Mr. Chromebox Script to install Coreboot on your chromebook to get a UEFI BIOS on your Chromebook and then you can go an install either a linux distro or even Windows if you want. It's a pretty straightforward process and also reversable if you want to go back to just using ChromeOS.

AMD to move to open source firmware in 2026
There may be other protections to restrict SPI flash access for security reasons (so you might not be able to flash your custom firmware in the OS), but worst case you can use a HW flasher (or maybe USB flashback). Still, this doesn't address the elephant in the room - platform initialization code might be open-sourced, but that isn't everything. You'll still need to figure out the board-specific stuff (the Super I/O chip, chipset GPIOs, other peripherals, etc.). Using coreboot as an example, Intel provides the Firmware Support Package blob to handle platform initialization. I think AGESA is somewhat similar to this, though Intel publicly releases the binaries for use in coreboot/etc. Thanks to the FSP, coreboot has support for recent Intel chipsets. However, there is only support for two recent consumer boards: the MSI PRO Z690-A WiFi DDR4 and DDR5.

Appreciation post for my pristine & mighty W530 - almost filled to the brim!
- 1vyrain BIOS with TDP set to 42W and Turbo Boost increased from 30 to 40s (you can find those settings in the 'Advanced' menu if you have an unlocked xx30 ThinkPad)

a lit of people says about 1vyrain, what is it? i want to buy a thinkpad t430 this week and try to make some change on it.
Read all about it: https://github.com/n4ru/1vyrain

Moved from Windows to Debian Linux on the T420
Nice! Have you thought of changing to an open source BIOS with Skulls? It's more secure and faster. You can now flash it with a flash drive using 1vyrain.

T530 questions
For T530, ivyRa1n BIOS allows/unlocks overclocking.

Why the heck are X230s running at around $300 on eBay?
i did the easiest one... 1vyrain, which is basically a softmod for the bios.. coreboot and libreboot are a different beast altogether, and afaik a physical bios flasher that you clamp to the bios chip...
