I run a Chromebook from HP that no longer has support from Google. I had to pull the back off and remove a physical screw to reinstall the OS but am happily running Pop_OS 22,04 on it which gets linux-firmware updates. Unfortunately I have not seen a bios update in quite some time, but the firmware still gets support from the kernel and distro. I did need the juevos to actually open my computer up after researching what to do and the knowledge to futz with all the keyboard oddities to get the keyboard fully functional that most people just don’t have the knowledge to easily do nor the patience to fight with Google searches and Gallium tools/documentation to make these things work.
After Washington became president, he had to move to the country’s Capitol where laws said that he could not keep his slaves after six months, so he repeatedly moved his slaves in and out of the state in order to keep them indefinitely. He even told his secretary to move the slaves “in a way that will deceive both them and the public.”
As a side note… After his death he left his remaining slaves to his wife Martha, and since they were inherited they would belong to her and then be freed when she died. She quickly realized that the only thing between the freedom of these enslaved people and their continued servitude was her own life, so she granted them all freedom immediately except for Oney Judge, who had escaped years earlier after George passed laws to prevent slaves in her specific scenario from ever achieving her own freedom.
