some absolute bullshit in the uefi firmware of the Alienware alpha makes it hide and disable boot entries other than windows and steamos I guess, so overriding the bootmgr field in bcdedit to point to refind's efi image lets me boot refind through the windows boot manager to actually choose what I want to boot 😒
@shaderphantom I misread this, my mind jumped straight to the "pc tv backup" part and I suddenly remembered those old devices that let you use your VCR as a backup tape drive. https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/gadgets/a27752/vhs-backup-hard-drive-90s/
really need to sleep now but that was a fun few hours setting my TV PC back up
