   Fixed that for you :-)   
      
   By the way, did you flash your BIOS today ?   
   This is the *second* time I've flashed the BIOS   
   on this motherboard, for a security issue.   
      
   It's a good thing as users, we don't have to know anything.   
      
   So you might ask, "why did you decide to flash your BIOS today?"   
   Well, this morning, the BIOS "acted weird". A feeling of dread   
   enters the room, after reading details of the CVE just yesterday.   
   That immediately bumped up the priority of the thing I would   
   otherwise have put off.   
      
   Just wait until the AI gets into the machine...
