OPAL boot and runtime firmware for POWER
It has proved incredibly useful to have an easily identifiable graphic indicating a broad error type. The key for any ASCII art being added is for the license to be...

Disable USB ports on the machine to help with physical security. This would mean that people walking up to the machine could not insert USB keyboards or storage devices and...
Things like enabling Ric Mata mode are safe to re-enable across a fast reboot, except we currently don't go and look at the NVRAM options again. It'd be good if...
