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 😒

really need to sleep now but that was a fun few hours setting my TV PC back up

@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. popularmechanics.com/technolog
