      In fairness, you have to specifically run that, so you know you are doing a firmware update and that you should be careful.

            It does, but anecdotally it doesn’t seem super reliable. Did a full system update without knowing it was a thing and only found out when it went into BIOS and immediately said “update failed”. Luckily seemed like just a checksum or some other sanity check failing, but I’m guessing I got the wrong binary for my hardware.
