the saga of ssds on windows twists

According to the news roles today a chinese user facebook group has an interesting theory.
That is that some manufacturers got drives with beta firmware and then didn’t update them to stable before release.
I am unsure how us users are even supposed to notice this going on and its probably something that needs to be addressed internally.
Point is, if you can get the latest firmware for your drive if its a problem.
Thats easier said than done.
I mean sure with some of my systems there have been official firmware you run and it loads such as on my lenovo box.
Or my logitech board which will update itself periodically from its firmware to software when I check it out once in a while.
Or my wifi extender, or printer or network router which will not only autoupdate but allow you to hit a button and it does what it needs to do including flashing and restart.
I wouldn’t reccomend anyone update necessarily because you can screw things up badly.
They say backup but unless you know what you are doing there could be a problem.
Never the less if you do have an issue you may have to do it.
For those of us with laptops its likely if the company doesn’t lag behind that you can just download and run the update.
Major manufacturers like hp will probably have direct downloads unless you are out of support.
However if you do it yourself you will have to find what that thing is and update it.
For visually impaired users its a bit scratchy.
The easiest scenario is downloading your bios/ firmware tool, running it, waiting for it to do its job, reboot, and wait for the system to complete over 10 minutes then it pops up.
But you may have other issues.
The second best thing, is get a file, put it on a flash stick, hit a key when starting or don’t and the system will just detect and update.
Third option, boot into something you need help with and update the thing.
But what if it errors out.
I have had a bios unit error out on updating beeping continuously and I have had no way of trying to fix it, I don’t even know if it was a beep because of alarm or a beep because of error.
I had had many issues with the system so maybe it had been defective so I shut it off.
A check by techs later had me informed that I had a system with a defective mutherboard.
I got funding to buy the system, but when the techs said I’d have to spend cash to replace the board, they suggested simply scrapping the system and they would pay me out for the cost it would have legally cost me from them.
I took their offer and took the cash and got another box.
Which is why backups are good ideas.
More pushing with ms accounts have appeared, which suggests that there are those that may read this blog and not comment.
As a further note, it appears that after the bunch of offlining the site did, a bunch of errors mainly the slow cache and performance errors have gone away.
There is an auth header error I am unsure how to fix and another php error which I have a fair idea what is going on maybe.
As a reminder, I will be out of range of the net with family from thursday the 18th to the 21st of this month.
There should be an update post for tomorrow.
Also amd released the latest drivers, but if you are like me with the vega line of internals, august driver was the last one stable enough for release.
In addition for non rdna series, we need to run autodetect and install in order to update our stuff now.
Also for those using hp support systems, the program aparently will not load properly after windows store update.
Removing software and solutions frameworks will not work in fact I couldn’t get them to load afterwards.
Loading support assistant from the hp site seemed to get it working but to be honest my box probably isn’t supported anyway and I am just mucking about.
Not much more to say on this but expect a user blog update.
