A “mee too” on firmware. Related/part of that, unbundling EC from BIOS updates so that EC fixes don’t have to go through/wait for Insyde would be great (edit: aware of the great promised land of coreboot but acknowledging that’s significantly more complicated). See the great work that @James3 is doing in the battery (dis)charge behavior thread:
Enabling/endorsing more of this (through vendor partners, in house, or hey, the community) really aligns with the mission statement of hardware remaining relevant.
Case in point, sitting on a shelf behind me is a 15+ year old router that’s soldiering on, still perfectly functional and up to date on security patches etc, only because its hardware, in its case being open source friendly, gets regular updates.
