Instructions to Update the BIOS/UEFI for an HP Laptop on Linux

The easiest way to should be to use [HP PC HARDWARE DIAGNOSTICS 4-IN-1 USB KEY][hp-usb-key]. You should use this option if your BIOS/UEFI does not have a "BIOS update" option.

Unfortunately HP's automatic tool only runs on Windows, but it is possible to make a USB key formatted manually by running the self-extracting executable on Wine. You cannot simply extract the executable using 7-zip because the executable needs to do some file generation.

Phase 1 (serial tty)

pre requests

1. usb-to-tty or Arduino
2. Screwdriver and card

steps

1. find J2 connector on board. If sata connector look at the left, and ethernet port look at you - j2 connector is on right of the board and look like this:

Share Counts

I have always struggled with getting all the various share buttons from Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Pinterest, etc to align correctly and to not look like a tacky explosion of buttons. Seeing a number of sites rolling their own share buttons with counts, for example The Next Web I decided to look into the various APIs on how to simply return the share count.

If you want to roll up all of these into a single jQuery plugin check out Sharrre

Many of these API calls and methods are undocumented, so anticipate that they will change in the future. Also, if you are planning on rolling these out across a site I would recommend creating a simple endpoint that periodically caches results from all of the APIs so that you are not overloading the services will requests.
