The 1st video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRoRPiDOtUg Also I tried to install windows in a multitude of ways and it would never boot but all my homies hate windows anyway so it's all good

Man actually added a BIOS flashing port to the maximum security prison laptop. He deprisoned the prison laptop in the most security violating way he possibly could have and I respect it.
-
Raise your hand if you got here before it gets taken down
-
Fun fact, Prison tech is not allowed to have decent speakers, it's either so low you have to have your ear next to it to hear anything or forced to use headphones, no inbetween.
-
Imagine installing windows 7 on it. The aero theme + transparent laptop shell would be like a match made in heaven...
-
The laptop has more usb ports than my laptop and usb hub combined

I have a theory on why your gamer password never works while using the laptop keyboard. In fact it's kind of silly. You have NumLock on, which means that the "m" in "gamer" gets replaced with a "0" as the vague blue marks on the keys indicate what key presses are made if NumLock was on.

Wenting here, some comments/ notes about the mods: 1. I uploaded the modded BIOS.. It's quite hacky, basically the BIOS had a integrity/ signature check. Changing modules inside the BIOS causes it to ignore that particular UEFI module and boots you to the BIOS screen for recovery. So the modded BIOS really is just about screwing up the whitelist checking module so the BIOS no longer loads the check. In return it would try to boot you into the BIOS screen prompting you to reflash a correct BIOS 2. It's possible to set an empty password. Though every time it loses power (no battery no DC) it resets to the default password 3. The USB FFC connector without 5V is for the fingerprint reader. The fingerprinter reader doesn't need 5V so it doesn't have it 4. The pinout for the touchpad connector is literally printed on the touchpad itself 5. There is indeed speaker connectors on the mainboard, however the speaker amplifier is disabled by either the BIOS or the EC. Re-enabling that requires modding the BIOS or the EC firmware 6. Another thing disabled by BIOS/EC is bluetooth. Even though the Intel wireless card supports it, it has been disabled Have fun hacking

This laptop somehow has more USB ports than my $1000 MacBook.
-
Personally I would pull 5v from the SATA header so you don't overload the touchpad line by plugging too many devices in at once. I love modifying little things like this, adding features that it never had. Such a cool little laptop i wish manufacturers would be bold and put stuff out like this again.

I am the only one that noticed funking OG.Xbox SDK in the end?
-
Two ideas: - 3D printed casing around the USB ports to look more presentable - USB audio card with some speakers added
-
The USB connector could be 3.0, but it is more probable that it is a dual USB 2.0, especially when looking at the pinout of the USB board.
-
Most people: Can't wait for new Taylor Swift album to drop. This guy: Can't wait for the new BIOS to drop for my prison laptop.

that moment when the prison laptop is better than your personal laptop

Gotta love those "Circuitry Breakout Tactics", CBT always coming in clutch.
-
Absolutely love this channel. 100% pure comedy. 100% pure jank. It’s 100% perfect
-
That's not a choke on the USB hub wire, but rather, it's a strain relief. A choke is those donut things wrapped in wire, just FYI.

Caught the second channel vid before the main channel vid goes live I feel like I'm accessing forbidden knowledge
