Okay thats great, but now I don’t have simple options like fan settings and thunderbolt control, did my $3000 laptop just get neutered?

I doubt it, this repair was just a keyboard assembly, I’ve done the repair myself, there’s no reason to replace the mobo, also the bios that’s listed in the downloads section is this old one. Which wouldn’t even be a problem if I still had the option to do certain things
E17M1IMS.119, as far as i can tell thats click bios 1, i can’t seem to find much documentation on it, and that build was last released in 2023
nah looks like im up to date on windows and most of my drivers
Sorry this is just a screenshot from the web, but the advanced menu is just 20 or so toggles for the PC, its definitely missing a few options in there though, I forget what the setting is called ATM but I’m trying to force a display port to run through the GPU instead of the integrated graphics, I’ve done it before successfully
Well I see there’s a way to get to the “advanced” settings by pressing Ctrl+left alt+shift+f2 but its been doing nothing for me, even when going back into windows and unlocking the function keys.
And I have flashed straight from the bios offered on the computers specifications page and confirmed that it matched, I’m really not sure what’s going on here, or why their bios on the downloads page is an older version than what was shipped with the laptop. I know sure as hell the original owner, my dad, wasn’t the one to upgrade.
Whatever helps you sleep at night
Don’t feed the trolls folks
Fuckin bring it, we’ll adapt
No no musk, you’re supposed to only piss off the poors remember?
It’s like talking to a little kid
Complain all you want, not a single manager out there is going to shut down any part of the active systems in place and potentially lose business to upgrade to Linux. At that point, just bring your own laptop instead of moaning about it.
And I used to think the “just switch to linux” guys were a meme, bro you’re making me want to switch back to windows out of spite
Depends on how it’s set up i guess, but if it’s your own PC that’s kind of on you id imagine
“why would we do that? Our systems don’t work on that, our people aren’t trained on that, no, get back to work”
I think that would be a pretty accurate reply to a casual request for an entire infrastructure change
Sure, but are you really going to go find the building admin and argue with them to update all of their OS’ to something they probably don’t understand? Linux is primarily a power user platform, not a mainstream one.
This looks like a public office space. You really gonna go argue with the building admin?
Okay, yes I agree with you fully, but you can’t just say it’s a mathematical law without proof, that’s something you need to back up with numbers and I don’t think “work” is quantifiable.
Again, yes, they need to slow down, but I have an issue with your claim unless you’re going to be backing it up. Otherwise you’re just a crazy dude standing on a soapbox
“weird, yeah I got here and this screen just had all this sharpie over it, i dunno how it happened”
Yeah I suppose so, but all I mean is, kids are pretty good at finding ways to entertain themselves
That’s a really dick way to respond to that post
