How to Update Raspberry Pi Firmware

The Raspberry Pi Foundation is responsible for the development of the Raspberry Pi, as well as the firmware it runs. From time to time, new firmware is released to add important security fixes or updates to your Raspberry Pi.

 

To update your Raspberry Pi firmware, run the command sudo apt update or sudo apt full-update, which will update your Raspberry PI with stable firmware releases. If that isn’t good enough and you need to update to the latest available firmware (for critical bug fixes, for instance) you’ll need to use the rpi-update tool instead.

The Raspberry PI should come installed with Raspbian, but it’s also compatible with other Linux operating systems.

How to Remove Table Borders in Google Docs

 

Google Docs is one of the best ways to create and share documents for all purposes, and one of the main reasons for such is that it allows a wide range of formatting capabilities.
