updating bios of the motherboard might affect its performance, but it should not physically damage it.

I purchased a new Gigabyte X299 UD4 motherboard and, after my initial format, it couldn't locate the LAN adapter, so I updated its BIOS once. This action might influence your warranty or impact the longevity of the board.
don't pay attention to your friend
the main danger with a BIOS update would be losing power midway through the process
companies regularly send out BIOS updates
to resolve problems
or to back up older devices
thus, it's expected that users should apply the latest BIOS if it addresses issues or enhances performance for them
No, if done correctly there is no negative impact on your hardware and it shouldn't affect warranty unless you managed to brick your board somehow. Not sure about that.
BIOS updates are not recommended unless you are having issues, as they can sometimes do more harm than good, but in terms of hardware damage there is no real concern.
it should be okay—updating the bios won't cause any issues because it looks like it's already updated properly.
if ethernet vanishes after a windows update, it's probably a driver problem, not the bios.
check if windows installed a new lan driver, then open the lan adapter in device manager and try using the rollback option.
this won't impact the warranty or its lifespan, and is your laptop functioning properly? have you updated the laptop drivers yet? yes, my laptop is running now and everything appears to be working smoothly since the BIOS update. just a bit cautious because a friend mentioned it could shorten the lifespan, and I've invested a lot of money in this new workstation.
BIOS updates exist for important reasons, mainly to address bugs or security concerns within the BIOS. Whenever I encounter a PC, I always verify that the BIOS is up to date. If there was a problem with the warranty, I wouldn’t expect them to release it. Even if you damage the system, they should still support a replacement for the BIOS chip on the board. Regarding its lifespan, I’ve never heard of anything before and don’t see any reason it would affect it negatively. The main concern most people have is when using Intel RAID; in that case, you must back up your settings in the BIOS before upgrading, otherwise you risk losing your RAID configuration, making it harder to resolve later.

the main danger with a BIOS update would be losing power in the middle of the process
makers regularly send out BIOS updates

or to back up new hardware support
so it's best for people to install the updated BIOS if it addresses issues or enhances performance that matters to them
