So the Beijing Borg is trying to patent what is essentially advanced system management as an 'invention'. One hears about them filing a lot of patents; probably most of them are badly-written trash like this.

 

We should revoke whatever patent licenses allow them to use the Internet. And electricity. And everything else we invented. We may have to give up gunpowder and fireworks.

 

By diffing an original vars.txt and a modded one I have lying around,, and then grepping,,I figured out that the bits I need to flip aren't in Setup, but ASSN (or something like that.

 

Has anyone perchance produced a list of what these bits are? One hears about unlocking advanced menus and such. I'm doing this on an obsolete laptop with a dead battery (went from fine to suddenly not taking a charge: one suspects an embedded 555 chip counted down to zero and decided it had 'worn out', which sounds like something a company would do which disabled an integral part of modern cpu functionality so they could sell a more expensive uncrippled product: surprised they didn't disable floating point).

 

I'm going to try exporting that section out of efivars as text, patching it with the diff if there's a perfect match, and then importing the result, and seeing what happens. Hold my beer.
