okay, so i guess i have a franken-bios now
the short version of it is:
-lenovo has a whitelist for what network cards you can put in your laptop
-i flashed a modded bios which removes said whitelist and changes a few more things
-said restriction removal was intended for wifi cards but not for wifi+bt cards
-one or two days later, i tried installing/booting windows to see if bluetooth not working was just a matter of drivers, because i thought that i had nothing to lose at that point
-windows, of course, updated my bios. just in case. without a warning.
-now booting the laptop spits funny messages about "changed hardware" or "checksum error" or stuff like that
-half of the bios settings were nuked. the other half retained the specific configuration that i set previously
-i am unsure of what works and what doesnt now. the laptop boots. that is as much as i can say.
-im not sure if to reinstall the modded bios or what. probably, as long as it works, i wont be touching anything.
-the moral of the story is to never ever install windows again in any piece of hardware whose death im not prepared to see

i wanted the "Under sea ecosystems are bullshit" shitpost because reasons but didnt have the image at hand, so i ended up looking up for the original source and screenshotting it myself. anyways, "turtletyrant" tumblr has a bunch of stuff that probably more than one around here would enjoy, but i cannot be bothered to repost every interesting thing here because im lazy so i'll just put a few things and thats all
also reminder for everyone: do not take pictures with flash of newborn babies.
a friend of mine had a cat with severe eyesight problems because ppl kept taking pics with flash of it as soon as it was born and they fucked its eyes.
if it clearly doesnt have fully developed eyesight and you attack it with strong lights, you are a jerk.
and if it does have developed eyes, newflash, you should still consider "is this really needed?" because exposing animals (or ppl) to sudden intense flash without any comprehensible warning is a dick move
in case of doubt, do not. its that simple.
