   I almost want to pick up this G9 DL360 to see how many (if any) of the problems I had with the G8 have been solved

   https://www.ebay.com/itm/235532804084?toolid=10050

   Also because the drive bays and other things are inter-compatible anyway

   If someone wants to donate one I'll do a series on building a better system firmware upgrade utility because HP's is the actual fucking worst

   Whoever decided that you should boot a fucking *browser* to update system firmware needs to do a hundred yard sprint over lego bricks

     @CursedSilicon@restless.systems I just asked someone I know IRL about your post and they used one of the G8 (I had a feeling, hence why I asked them) and they said "wtf I've never used a browser are they using Windows" 😁

     @eltheanine It's in the "Service Pack" ISO that it boots

     Check my media tab. I tried running it on a headless Linux server originally and got kicked out for not having a browser to launch
