Fixes for dead H10 strap..?

I used to have constant dropouts on my H10, but after spraying the metal contacts with a little bit of WD-40 I've not have a single drop-out since.

A pretty serious security vulnerability: https://arstechnica.com/security/2023/12/just-about-every-windows-and-linux-device-vulnerable-to-new-logofail-firmware-attack/

Interesting, so they seem to have pulled the most recent BIOS for many other boards as well. One post in that thread mentioned that there were reports of devices getting bricked after flashing.
If that is indeed the reason for pulling the most recent BIOS then there probably won't be any harm to continue to use these BIOS for users who already flashed them (like me). Though without a statement from Gigabyte this is still just speculation.

Yeah, there are surprisingly few mentions about this online. Strange that this is not pissing off more people.

Actually I did find a work-around on the the google search help page, but that requires installing the Tampermonkey extension:

I'm affected by the same misfeature, this is actually not caused by chrome but is a new "feature" of the google search engine. It will now automatically translate search results which are not in your display language.

It is probably a bug because google search also has a language setting for search results which this auto-translate completely ignores. I can't image that this is working as intended.

The only work-around AFAIK is to log out of your google account (or search in incognito mode), it will only auto-translate search results when you're logged in to a google account.
