A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

https://www.phoronix.com/news/Coreboot-4.17 (June 2022)

Coreboot developers are releasing Coreboot 4.17 today with various new motherboards supported, support for GRUB2 atop SeaBIOS as a payload, and various low-level code improvements too. Plus Coreboot 4.17 brings the "coreDOOM" payload -- yes, it's possible to get the game Doom running atop this system firmware.

Hmm no boot drive found, press F1 to play Doom instead!

Kinda like the Sega Master System. If you turned it on without a game and pressed UP + A + B at the screen telling you to put in a game cartridge, it launches a game where you guide a snail through a maze:

Lets be honest, here. you can play doom on anything. it's more universal than C.

Apparently that includes voting machines.
