Semi FOSS BIOS "Coreboot" has been updated to version 4.22. This update adds support for seventeen new devices; x86 support for .data sections for pre-memory stages, support for the CBFS cache for pre-memory stages and ramstage; and more. The code to Coreboot is licensed using GPLv2.0. The reason I call it semi FOSS is that it does have to include varying levels of closed source blobs to make many models work. Having some FOSS in Coreboot beats having a fully closed source BIOS though and it is a good step for users to take to get more privacy and security for their devices.



The project's main website is here:

https://www.coreboot.org/



The code is hosted on Github:

One of the biggest life-savers on #emacs #exwm has been the command `xrandr -s 0`. This somehow refreshes things and causes my triple-monitors to wakeup in ways that -auto and -set do not. But I cannot find documentation on it ANYWHERE; I've checked the manpages, web search... nothing!

EDIT: just tried `xrandr --help` and saw that it is short for --size. I'm still not sure why it works such miracles, though...
