This is why modern systems need at least quarterly BIOS updates. And why I focus on Dell business grade so much.

Let's face it: Computers have become too complicated for mere humans to keep up. Software is a bloated mess and hardware constantly is making room for software to get more bloated. Honestly if an AI were to achieve conciousness, it would either destroy itself for the nightmare we force it to live in or destroy the entire world just to make everyone be quiet.

Precisely why most big OEM's have started pushing firmware/bios updates automatically via Windows Update. It gets a lot of hate but is necessary for security.

And why I focus on Dell business grade so much.

Agreed. Big selling point of business grade systems is the length of support. Most consumer grade equipment I see is lucky to get 2-3 years of updates before being abandoned. Meanwhile I've seen Dell OptiPlex still getting BIOS updates and TPM 2.0 patches 7-8 years down the line.
