I found ways to reinstall the BIOS, but they require a program that runs on Windows. I was wondering if there are similar programs for Ubuntu. Thanks for the [delete] suggestion: I will try.

Hi, I have a PC with an ASUS z97-A motherboard, which came with UEFI BIOS and Windows 7 installed. A few months ago I installed Ubuntu 14 LTS and it all went fine until now that I suddenly need to change an option in the BIOS just to realise it's gone. When the computer starts up I can press...

I was going to buy the K750, but then I noticed there is no touchpad so it's totally useless when you are on the sofa (unless you are one of those geeks that know how to move around Windows just using...

Hi, does anybody know if a wireless solar keyboard with touchpad exist? Basically what I'm looking for is a combination of the Logitech keyboards K750 and K830.

The Logitech K830.
