I think BIOS has just morphed into meaning the firmware interface, nobody calls it UEFI. Everyone does indeed just say BIOS, which is okay. You can be more specific when it matters, which is basically never in the mass market.

Yeah, I mean. It's just a Basic Input/Output System.

Actually, in the Boot Services stage, UEFI can do a lot of things, like providing file systems (though only FAT32 is guaranteed), keyboard and mouse input, video output …

Like asking for a bandaid. Everyone knows what you mean, and asking for one and getting a generic bandage isn't going to matter.

ADHESIVE MEDICAL STRIP

In America. Bandaid is not a word outside there, what is it? A brand name?

[–] edible_funk@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes, a name brand of adhesive bandage, just like Kleenex or Velcro or Xerox.

A "plaster" in the uk

[–] captcha@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yet it's named in such a way, people maybe would be able to guess what it is

[–] waz@feddit.uk 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yet if you guessed bandage, that’s not an actual bandage is it? From the other comments, I’ve learned it’s a ‘plaster’ or adhesive dressing.

I think, I saw it in some movie or heard about it already, so I am not representative of this. If you guessed a different thing, I was wrong and it can't be inferred, as in the same way a seller may guess wrong
