[1952.04 --> 1955.16] I hate calling them APUs, but one of the new CPUs with integrated graphics.
[1956.16 --> 1961.58] You wouldn't really upgrade to them, but there might be boards out there that have been sitting on a shelf for the last three months,
[1962.32 --> 1968.08] and someone just goes and buys it and buys a new CPU with integrated graphics that doesn't work
[1968.08 --> 1975.18] and might be in a situation where they can't flash their BIOS without an older-style CPU.
[1975.96 --> 1981.08] So, basically, what they're doing, apparently, is...
[1982.08 --> 1988.16] AMD will send you a boot kit to flash your firmware.
[1988.16 --> 1993.20] AMD will send you a USB-CPU, so you actually get a free CPU, a dual-core A6-9500.
[1993.40 --> 1997.24] You're supposed to send it back, but you don't have to send the heatsink back.
[1999.10 --> 1999.50] What?
[2000.32 --> 2002.04] The whole thing is just super weird.
[2003.94 --> 2006.08] And, like, do you have to sign some agreement to get it?
[2006.62 --> 2007.10] I don't know.
[2008.26 --> 2011.72] Because, if not, I suspect the majority of people just won't send it back.
[2011.74 --> 2012.62] So, here's what I want to know.
[2014.32 --> 2016.24] Asus has had this figured out for, like, five years.
[2016.24 --> 2023.96] Why does everybody else not have CPU-less motherboard BIOS flashing sorted out at this point?
[2024.66 --> 2026.66] Why is it still hard to flash a BIOS?
[2026.78 --> 2027.32] Is it patented?
[2028.72 --> 2030.08] That's a great question. I have no idea.
[2030.40 --> 2031.18] Yeah, I don't know either.
[2031.52 --> 2033.02] But, like, okay, this laptop.
[2034.86 --> 2036.94] Razer's BIOS flashing method is super simple.
[2037.08 --> 2038.74] You download an EXE and you run it.
[2039.44 --> 2042.00] And it updates your system firmware, updates your BIOS, and then you reboot.
[2042.00 --> 2046.40] But, like, how...
[2046.40 --> 2047.60] If you can't get into Windows, though.
[2048.28 --> 2049.46] But that's what I mean.
[2049.46 --> 2050.44] Because that's been around for a while, though.
[2050.44 --> 2052.44] But that sounds more complicated to me.
[2053.70 --> 2055.64] Doing it while the system is booted up.
[2055.68 --> 2059.64] The only thing that would make sense to me is it's got to be a padden thing.
[2059.80 --> 2060.00] Because I really...
[2060.76 --> 2064.00] Because, yeah, it doesn't seem like it should be that hard, right?
[2064.04 --> 2065.08] Pull the file off the thing.
[2065.08 --> 2068.14] You can do that without an OS.
[2070.38 --> 2072.14] Because you know why, like...
[2072.14 --> 2078.74] I don't know if you remember, but back in the day, there was a few games that had little mini-games during loading screens.
[2078.88 --> 2080.50] And that hasn't been a thing for a long time.
[2081.06 --> 2083.74] It's because some stupid patent troll was just like...
[2083.74 --> 2085.76] No, it wasn't a stupid troll.
[2085.84 --> 2087.00] It was, like, Atari or something.
[2087.86 --> 2089.56] Yeah, but then they never did anything with it.
[2090.50 --> 2091.32] If I remember correctly.
[2091.44 --> 2092.38] I want to see who did it.
[2092.68 --> 2093.62] Yeah, I'm looking it up already.
[2093.62 --> 2096.60] It's about to expire, apparently.
[2096.80 --> 2097.68] Namco Bandai.
[2098.06 --> 2098.30] Sorry.
[2098.64 --> 2099.16] Yeah, okay.
[2099.62 --> 2100.48] But it's, like...
[2100.48 --> 2102.96] It's, like, one of those, like, ancient, irrelevant...
[2102.96 --> 2104.48] Like, sell the patent or something.
[2105.88 --> 2106.56] Because it's a really...
[2106.56 --> 2107.30] That would be awesome.
[2107.44 --> 2108.32] Yeah, it's great.
[2108.44 --> 2110.36] And you're just not allowing anyone to do it.
[2110.48 --> 2111.08] And it's really annoying.
[2111.10 --> 2113.76] I commented on that when I was doing that video with my son.
[2113.76 --> 2115.72] And that should not be patentable, by the way.
[2115.86 --> 2116.58] Oh, my God.
[2117.32 --> 2118.18] What the hell?
[2118.18 --> 2121.46] I noticed that when I was doing the video with my son on the Kano.
[2121.46 --> 2125.14] That it has their flappy, their stupid flappy bird clone...
[2125.14 --> 2125.60] Oh, dear.
[2125.78 --> 2126.52] ...on the loading screen.
[2126.72 --> 2126.96] Yeah.
[2127.16 --> 2127.38] Yeah.
[2127.84 --> 2129.58] And I was like, wow, this is great.
[2129.66 --> 2130.66] Why doesn't everybody do this?
[2130.66 --> 2134.90] And then the comments were just full of people being like, yeah, because they can't, idiot.
[2135.34 --> 2136.26] And I was like, okay, great.
[2136.38 --> 2136.58] Thanks.
[2136.64 --> 2136.76] Yeah.
[2136.76 --> 2138.74] Thank you, commenters.
[2138.80 --> 2141.18] I really appreciate you and your comments.
[2143.76 --> 2145.50] I wonder if Kano got in trouble for that.
[2145.54 --> 2146.42] I miss Jim Carrey.
[2146.92 --> 2147.14] Yeah.
[2147.14 --> 2147.98] What has he done lately?
[2148.80 --> 2152.36] Other than just, like, being bizarre on social media.
[2153.48 --> 2155.00] And on camera and stuff, yeah.
[2155.50 --> 2156.58] Oh, there's a movie...
[2156.58 --> 2157.34] Oh, what's he done on camera?
[2157.34 --> 2158.86] Uh, he's...
[2158.86 --> 2160.34] He's, uh...
[2161.60 --> 2164.20] I don't want to get into it just in case I say something wrong.
[2164.34 --> 2165.34] But he's...
[2166.18 --> 2166.86] Yeah.
[2167.02 --> 2168.22] I don't want to get too far into it.
[2168.40 --> 2168.76] Just in case...
[2168.76 --> 2169.34] Nothing like...
[2170.04 --> 2170.32] Yeah.
[2170.76 --> 2171.76] Nothing too crazy.
[2171.98 --> 2172.00] I mean, I know there was a thing.
[2172.00 --> 2174.00] Didn't his wife commit suicide or something like that?
[2174.24 --> 2174.56] Yes.
[2174.78 --> 2175.14] So that was a thing...
[2175.14 --> 2177.10] This is part of the reason why I don't want to get too into it.
[2177.54 --> 2178.96] There's been some...
[2178.96 --> 2180.42] Oh, there's been a civil suit against him.
