While we're at it, let's start a grassroots write-in movement to make all state governors Combs as well, then state legislatures and mayors. All citizens will then become Jeffrey Combs. Then the US flag will become Jeffrey Combs. We then spread our agenda overseas, until the earth is Jeffrey Combs. Then we will turn the universe into Jeffrey Combs.
Okay. What does your Config > USB look like?
These settings seem exactly the same as mine in all significant ways. Can you show me a picture of Config > USB?
Also, what's the partitioning on your laptop like? Have you actually set up Windows, or have you just left it in OOBE mode for now? On my E16, I just put in a second drive and haven't even touched Windows yet.
Also, when I get time today, I might try replicating your steps with Ventoy to see what happens. Have you just tried straightup flashing an image? (If you haven't, probably try something like OpenSUSE or Debian, which tend to have better EFI support on their installers.)
Could you record a video showing the steps you take to try to boot the USB?
Also, maybe pictures of any BIOS settings. I want to see if I can replicate the problem on my laptop.
Could MBR be your problem somehow? Maybe it needs to be a GPT table instead.
Weird. What distro is on it, what program did you flash it with, and does it show up in the file manager on another machine?
I have basically the same laptop (it's an E16, but with the same CPU - it's just the 16-inch version of your laptop). Make sure you press enter, press F1 to go into BIOS, then go into Security > Secure Boot and enable "Allow Microsoft 3rd Party CA". That worked like a charm for me.
If you're still having problems, try writing down the steps you have taken (down to the key combinations; some pictures would be nice as well). I should have all the same settings menus.
Don't worry, though, you've made a good choice; I've been loving my Thinkpad E16.
DS9, but I also have a fondness for LD.
I gotta agree with Magic Carpet Ride, but otherwise, I enjoy that weird campy music Fear plays in VOY: The Thaw.
I always thought people like Kang basically just got plastic surgery once they had sufficient influence to be able to afford it.
My other thought is that most of the components of ridges are a dominant genetic trait (kind of like how the Klingon ridges were prominent in Romulan-Klingon hybrids or B'Elonna), and that through a gradual process the virus-affected Klingons interbred with unaffected Klingons until ridges returned.
As for DIS Klingons, I have several thoughts. Since the Klingons go back to normal by SNW, it could be possible that they just decided to retcon the DIS style away all together. Another weird thought is that they could be some sort of genetic glitch encountered with augment-normal hybrid Klingons where they got the ridges but their melanin's all wonky, resulting baldness and either albinism or an "anti-albinism". Once again, the interbreeding meant that eventually, these traits disappeared.
To explain why we tend to see the same type of Klingon together, there could be social biases to keep oneself surrounded by the same type of Klingon; this maybe slows interbreeding enough that communities of several types of Klingons still existed by the 23rd century, but had largely merged back into the normal-ish Klingon by the 24th.
Building a custom Buildroot Linux for a Pentium 2 laptop that can fit on a CD so I could back up a 2.5" IDE drive to a USB drive, probably.
On another note, last night, I had to get a Google TV set up on my dorm Wi-Fi, which requires me to either go through a portal to set it up or to go into my account and add the device's MAC address. The TV (which was brand new and doing OOBE stuff) wouldn't let me go to settings to get the MAC address without a network connection. Even more infuriating, there was a button in the Google Home app that said "Show MAC address", but when I pushed it, it would say "Can't get MAC address." What I ended up doing to get around that crap was setting up my Debian Thinkpad (which I am writing from now) to share its internet connection over ethernet to finish the setup process so I could get to settings and get the MAC address.
On one hand, a funny experience, but on the other hand, I'm simultaneously both mad at Google and my dorm internet provider.
Based on a real situation I encountered once: Normal Star Trek Fan: Yeh, I like Seven of Nine.
“Red flag” Star Trek Fan: I like Seven of Nine.
Have you tried completely resetting all BIOS settings?
