To deal with all this Intel CPU disaster, I’ve been having to manually check MSI’s website for mobo updates. It occurred to me that keeping BIOSes and other drivers that aren’t delivered through your OS’s update manager of choice is such a pain, and it’s common knowledge that a lot of critical BIOS updates just don’t get applied to systems because folks don’t check for updates unless there’s a problem.

Thinking about that, I realized that it would make life a lot easier if you could just have section in your RSS reader for firmware updates, and each mobo manufacturer published BIOS update announcements as an RSS feed. All your updates are in one place, and you’re notified promptly! Of course, this would also apply to NVIDIA drivers, so you can get automatic updates on Windows without having to download Geforce NOW bloatware, but of course that’s very intentional on NVIDIA’s part.

Does anyone know of other easy ways to passively keep track of BIOS updates?
