I see posts talking about good BIFL items but I don't hear much about the other side of products that are bad or products you bought but don't even use.

That sounds fun, but I was (and still am) an idiot and locked myself out on the bios. I've reset locks on bios before, but as I've discovered recently, Acer found out you can charge people for the privilege instead.

At that point, I'll simply use this as a learning experience and continue exploring Arch. Another bevi of copium for me, please.
