Dear Linux Friends Around the World:

 

For some reason, unknown, after updating the BIOS on my computer, using standard procedures….

 

I am receiving unwanted messages from Area 51, even through my tinsel hat….which is something that very rarely, if ever happens to me.

 

Has this ever happened to you, upon BIOS update on a linux box?

 

And, if so, then what do you do?

 

Do you just suck it up?

 

Or, do you try to solve the problem by checking the voltage to your RAM?

 

OR, do you deny the messages from Area 51, even though, deep down, you know they are there, and that you are just in denial?

 

Here are some things I do to block out BIOS-related ARTIFACTS…..

 

I listen to REALLY LOUD music.

I take a cold shower.

I have a foot massage in Pattaya.

I listen to Jeff Beck perform in Tokyo.

All of the above….even though….nothing seems to help.

 

Hopefully, the above tips might be of interest to other Linuxly-interested readers of this Topic.

 

And, one more thing….

 

I find it most disheartening that there is not much more interest in this Linux sub-forum on ThaiVisa.  And…..WHY IS THAT!!!!!????

 

If you really want to know….I would say that….it might be just a case of incipiently encroaching decrepitude, because, my guess is that the guys on TV are now just too old to care about anything GOOD,….slouches as they seem to have become.

 

Windows is not good enough for them, but neither is Windows too bad, either.

 

We are old on this forum.  And, unless we make the effort to change for the better, then we will go to our graves….with Windows on our breaths…and die an inglorious death.

 

Just my innocent thoughts….

 

Hope you agree.

 

Best regards,

Gamma

 

Note4:  By the way, and if you wish to overcome your feelings of being STUCK….then…the first thing you must do is listen to …..  Jeff Beck in Tokyo.

 

After listening to Jeff in Tokyo, then this experience might just motivate you to make a change for the better.

 

And, also, if the risk of receiving signals from AREA 51 is not too high a price to pay for updating your BIOS, then just go for it.

 

Note5, and not Take5:   Here is Take5 by Brubeck:

 

 

All geniuses are on Cloud Nine.

Especially...The Temptations....

 

CLOUD NINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

PURE GENIUS....

 

Geeks at Work....!!!

went to Heaven ,please stay in Hell !

This happened to a friend of mine, he ended up formatting HDD, installing Windows operating system. 

 

If this doesn't work remove the BIOS chip from the motherboard and smash it with a hammer, you can purchase another BIOS from the manufacturer.

 

Yes it's an inconvenience but the only solution. 

 

Good luck.

If you might have imagined that Cloud Nine was out of Sync....

 

Then it might have just been your imagination.

 

Listen, one more time....or...

 

Until you get it right.

 

 

Another fantasy that you updated your BIOS.

 

Let's have the screenshots of the imaginary messages from Area 51.

What an absolute waste of bandwidth.

I have locked this topic, as this is an advice forum for linux users, not somewhere to post your complete fantasy nonsense.
