The HP Stream 7 uses plastic construction. The back cover, which has a "sparkly" pattern, [1] can be removed for accessing the microSD card slot. [3] The tablet has been described as "somewhat heavy" and that it has "slanted" sides and "significant flex to the back".
UEFI replaces the BIOS that was present in the boot ROM of all personal computers that are IBM PC compatible, [5] [6] although it can provide backwards compatibility with the BIOS using CSM booting. Unlike its predecessor, BIOS, which is a de facto standard originally created by IBM as proprietary software, UEFI is an open standard maintained ...
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) is an open standard that operating systems can use to discover and configure computer hardware components, to perform power management (e.g. putting unused hardware components to sleep), auto configuration (e.g. Plug and Play and hot swapping), and status monitoring.
Memory-mapped I/O is preferred in IA-32 and x86-64 based architectures because the instructions that perform port-based I/O are limited to one register: EAX, AX, and AL are the only registers that data can be moved into or out of, and either a byte-sized immediate value in the instruction or a value in register DX determines which port is the source or destination port of the transfer.
The HP Stream 8 is a tablet computer designed by Hewlett-Packard that runs the Microsoft Corporation's Windows operating system. See also
The HPA is useful only if other software or firmware (e.g. BIOS or UEFI) is able to use it. Software and firmware that are able to use the HPA are referred to as 'HPA aware'. The ATA command that these entities use is called READ NATIVE MAX ADDRESS. This command accesses a register that contains the true size of the hard drive.
If you’re stuck on today’s Wordle answer, we’re here to help—but beware of spoilers for Wordle 1271 ahead. Let's start with a few hints.
Additionally, those values can be used to identify the execution environment (the particular BIOS version, OS level, configuration, etc.) and compare them to their own lists of known-good values to further categorize the platform. This ability to evaluate and assign trust levels to platforms is known as Trusted Compute Pools.
