Nah, bootcamp assistant is Apple's dual boot setup tool, it is a native install, but it has to be started from MacOS.

Most BIOS updates come with a firmware file and a .exe to flash it

Sadly in my case, iy doesn't.

I think they're saying the Windows update file will contain the firmware binary.

You can find Windows update files here: https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=Acer

But you'll probably have to check each update and see if the "Supported Hardware IDs" match some sort of UUID in dmidecode. I'm not sure if those are supposed to match though.

Then there are some generic firmware update tools for Linux that might work, or might brick your laptop.

Not sure if it affects that, but you can disable Alcohol ads on the Google Ad center.

Unless I've forgotten how this meme format works, OP was looking how to setup wireguard using NetworkManager, but DDG kept returning results on setting up a wireguard server. That link is a tutorial on setting up a wireguard server, and then connecting a peer using wg-quick (and not NetworkManager).

Here's the original:

Some of my server boards do, so they do exist, but I haven't seen it much on consumer stuff.

I've only been running Debian testing for a few weeks (hopped from Ubuntu dev), but I believe testing also has a 2 to 10 day period before pulling packages from unstable. Like after 10 days in unstable with no issues it automatically gets moved into testing, with more important updates getting a human moving it earlier.

Oh so you've got double NAT. You'll either have to put the modem into bridge mode, or port forward on both the router and modem.

Do you have CGNAT?

If you run traceroute 1.1.1.1 the first hop should be your router, and if the second starts with 100, 10, 172, or 192, then you probably have CGNAT.

I've used a bootable Windows USB before to update firmware, so maybe you could try that, you don't have to install just go to repair then CMD.

If they offer debs, you might be able to extract them and run the updater manually, or maybe something like alien could convert it to an rpm.

I've also seen FreeDOS exes, but I've only really seen that for BIOS updaters.

Haha I'm Aussie, but your drinks are pretty cool!

This guy managed to modify a Broadcom NIC to support 2.5G SFP: https://github.com/Berzerker/google-fiber-2gbps-bypass

I mean it isn't great to have to mod something, but at least it's something

Edit: or apparently you can just ask for a 10G transceiver now: https://www.reddit.com/r/googlefiber/comments/tdgag5/google_fiber_now_installing_fiber_jacks_w10gbe/

Also I thought I should mention I don't have Google Fiber so I can't say if any of this works.
