@kkarhan @vxo @neurovagrant suggest a WINSAFE bios, featuring "os_protector" mode enabled by default. This prevents installation of any win* OS higher than 3.11.
Disabling asks two times Y/N, then enforces typing 'really!' to proceed, what means HW bricking, as an act of humanity.

@TajuyanTachyon @kkarhan @neurovagrant or it just blocks windows (notably 9x and ME) from randomly overwriting the boot sector whenever the hell it feels like it and instead replaces the first sector of the windows partition with Fnorder output

@neurovagrant Why is there no space between “Microsoft” and “365” in the title, but then in the message it splits it up into two words? Is Microsoft365 and Microsoft 365 different? I'm so confused.

@neurovagrant Endless advice. Because I don’t get enough already. “Stop using the Oxford comma, you didn’t go to Oxford. Why do you never call? That shirt’s too tight on you. Your sister calls. Did you try that new place downtown? They’re terrible. I don’t know what you see in it. Did you hear she got a new job? I don’t know, she’d been at that place a long time. That’s not how you spell ‘defenestrate’. Four ‘e’s. Call your mother.”
