Orrr… [Disable BD Prochot](https://github.com/fralapo/Disable-BD-PROCHOT-on-LINUX). I’ve read elsewhere that you shouldn’t do this probably, but at this point I don’t care, I want a useable laptop, even if this comes back to bite me in the arse in the future. If you don’t hear from me, assume this worked out

EDIT: Aaaaaaaaaand no, doesn’t work, the EC flipcs BD\_PROCHOT back on immediately, an issue that’s logged on that [Github script](https://github.com/fralapo/Disable-BD-PROCHOT-on-LINUX/blob/main/README.md#troubleshooting) (Ctrl + F “Write succeeds but the value reads back unchanged”)

Also for what it’s worth I have the latest BIOS, 3.20 (command for checking it is: `sudo dmidecode -t bios`)

I got Brave AI to get me a solution that just keeps disabling BD\_PROCHOT really fast, but that doesn’t work either, probably because the EC resets itself really fast (every millisecond or so). The `throttled` daemon that’s linked in the Github script also doesn’t work
