    I updated to F.23 last night with no problems, and everything seems to be running normally.

    I'm eagerly running each new bios in the hopes I will have some options to...i don't know... perhaps disable/enable some things on the HDX, maybe? :( Not this time. I am running the new bios, posted the link in the lounge, and I get no noticeable difference. My offer still stands, if someone would write a real bios for this machine, I am in on a 100.00 donation. :)
