Odds and sods

 Really been busy with a lot of projects but very much ticking away on a lot of research lab wise but as usual found a few interesting things while exploring that are both computer related and not.


Lab work is still the usual Bubbleponic research and nutrients, pruning, lighting and even emf plus root heating and other research on various; including MEGA BROCOLI! which was me bored waiting for my Ghost knight white chilli peppers.


Some interesting observations though computer wise as I noted my laptop always lagged out a tap and using the usual encrypted home but noted CCP from AMD was never working but it calling upon an intel module...  Considering i stopped using wintendo about 10 years ago I needed to update the bios so went hunting for an easy fix..

Gentoo Bios update!  using windows PE  https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/sergei_strelecs_winpe.html

It is password protected but password is on the main page but managed to fix my stupid issue, or issues, with bios using it...

Using           sys-boot/woeusb-ng  also did a fantastic job of making sure my usbdrive was made bootable but just stuck the bios .exe in my efi directory and it picked it up fine...


Since the bios update the laptop has been having a lot better and CCP is a module now along with a few other issues fixed but i think some of it was also due to me still using multilib but still want to keep it though only a lot of media codecs were left as issue last time I checked...


Other research wise computer wise is in LTO of which using LTO and graphite gcc stuff i've really noticed some speed improvements to things like boot into kde and even libreoffice seems a lot snappier as well as a few other things...


Got fish research and all sorts so really another year on but sat pondering a few issues computer wise has been ages since i've updated on anything Gentoo Linux.


Report in more Xmas next year and have a good xmas!!


Kind Regards,


Marc
