Lenovo Vantage – BIOS Update Instructions

Another computer support request, from a third party website where I earn supplemental income answering computer and technology related questions. This time an individual was concerned with a pop up message that they received on their newly purchased Lenovo laptop computer. Here is their request quoted verbatim:

"I got a pop up from Lenovo Vantage that says: Lenovo recommends that you install these updates to optimize your computer. Please note, the following updates may require your system to reboot more than once. We recommend saving your work in preparation for system shutdown.

BIOS Update 10 [64]. I wanted to find out if this was real, or a scam. Thanks for any help you can give me."

Lenovo Vantage is NOT malware, spyware, or a scam. This is actually software that Lenovo developed to keep their computers updated. The problem could be is that this software was formerly known as Lenovo Companion, Lenovo Settings, and Lenovo Account Portal.

This software was designed specifically for Microsoft Windows 10 operating system. Personally, I think it is ridiculous when technology companies try to re-brand or rename their software packages. Just keep it the fucking same name or else you will confuse your very own customers, just like in this instance.

Anyways, I was able to remotely connect into this computer and upgrade the computer Basic Input Output System. This individual had just purchased a new Lenovo Ideapad 320 laptop. Whenever performing a Basic Input Output System upgrade, you should make sure that your active current AC adapter is plugged in.

You do NOT want your laptop to power off during a basic input output system upgrade. This type of disaster could potentially cause your computer to never boot again, and that is no joke. Your computer will need to restart.

Your Basic Input Output System cannot get upgraded while your computer is in use. Basic input output system upgrades are much easier than say ten to twenty years ago. Depending on the hardware manufacturer, they are as simple as opening the maintenance software, in this case, Lenovo Vantage, and checking for updates.

This software will notify you that there is a Basic Input Output System update available. Select this update and then go ahead and proceed with the download. You will obviously need an Internet connection, in order to perform the update.

Once this basic input output system update is finished downloading, you will be prompted to install the update. You will be warned that you are about to upgrade the Basic Input Output System and to make certain you want to perform this action. Also, when I upgraded this computer Basic Input Output System, it warned me making certain I was installing a Basic Input Output System for a Lenovo ideapad 320-15IAP.

This Basic Input Output System was actually compatible with two of these laptops. The 320-14IAP and 320-15IAP. If in doubt do NOT perform a Basic Input Output system upgrade until you are certain you know the exact model of your computer.

I went into “System” in Microsoft Windows 10 “Settings”. Under “About”, I was able to verify that this individual had a 320-15IAP. Many times trying to install a Basic Input Output System upgrade for the wrong computer will result in error, but it is better to become cautious.

I went ahead and kicked off this Basic Input Output System update and then the Lenovo IdeaPad 320 restarted. The Basic Input Output System update was successful. In closing I requested this individual open Lenovo Vantage to verify if this Basic Input Output System update was successful and then check for any new updates.

The basic input output system successfully updated. Basic Input Output System upgrades will fail, often times due to the fact you are trying to perform this update on the wrong computer model.

Lenovo Vantage – BIOS Update Instructions Video Transcript

00:02

SSTs our own day ecoan in a computer's

00:12

comm ultra video para ti you my I might

00:15

get erupted from the pale-skinned

00:17

european savages in this building that

00:20

drop on from the third floor or

00:23

they slam doors on the first floor and

00:26

yet guess who gets snitched on all I do

00:31

all right now this video

00:35

I'm not gonna get too angry because it

00:37

really only deals with ignorance videos

00:41

that anger me or problems that anger me

00:43

are the mental at Americans

00:45

Americans when it comes to technology

00:47

they're idiots morons they're stupid

00:50

they're mental midgets and to me there

00:54

are no excuses because there's so many

00:55

resources in America there's free

00:58

resources you can go to your local

00:59

library and there's all kinds of books

01:02

that you can find that will teach you

01:03

how to use a computer you can even buy

01:07

software on from television although I

01:09

don't watch television that's stupid

01:10

television to me is stupid it's dumbed

01:13

down it's idiotic is stupid you don't

01:16

learn anything it's propaganda the

01:19

government military bombard you with

01:21

propaganda through the television it's

01:23

just stupid but yes there's you can

01:25

actually at least two decades there's a

01:28

individual that sells software for like

01:32

10 bucks or even 20 or whatever teaching

01:34

you how to use a computer this video is

01:37

not going to irritate me because it's

01:38

just ignorant there's the difference

01:40

between stupidity and ignorance

01:43

ignorance can be quickly cured because

01:45

it just means that you don't know

01:47

whereas stupidity could be something

01:51

problematic because you're lazy or you

01:55

just I don't get it I don't understand

01:58

the lack of just I I don't want to talk

02:01

about it I just I don't want to discuss

02:04

it alright so another request from a

02:08

third-party website where I earn

02:10

supplemental income answering compute

02:13

and technology related questions and I'm

02:17

not the only computer technician on the

02:20

internet that admits that he has to deal

02:24

with idiots and morons and stupid people

02:26

and dumbasses on a daily basis that

02:30

that's a there's a an average computer

02:33

user a high percentage of them are just

02:36

I don't know what their problem is

02:38

they're late to me they're lazy they

02:39

don't want to learn that just the

02:42

easiest tasks now Lenovo Vantage

02:48

I hate when technology companies

02:50

perpetrate this type of activity I hate

02:53

it when they changed either they tried

02:56

to rebrand their company or they tried

02:59

to change the name of like software or

03:03

computers that they've always been named

03:07

like so this is like the third or fourth

03:09

different name change for an alone

03:11

lenovo when it comes to their support

03:15

software when you buy a brand-new Lenovo

03:18

computer whether it's a desktop or

03:21

laptop it comes with original equipment

03:25

manufacturing software it's maintenance

03:27

software it excuse me it will provide

03:30

provide updates that's all it is it's

03:32

just maintenance software instead of

03:35

Windows updates you have Lenovo updates

03:37

well these clowns they're always

03:40

changing the name which to me it's just

03:43

it just drives me up a wall because it's

03:48

bad enough the amount of ignorance and

03:51

technology it's bad enough that you have

03:53

all of these computer users that have no

03:56

business using a computer because they

03:58

don't know how to use a computer they

04:00

don't even know what a web browser is

04:02

they can't even remember their MAC

04:03

password they can't even remember their

04:05

Apple ID password they can't even

04:07

remember their Windows password they

04:09

can't even remember their Android

04:11

password all day long on this third pray

04:14

website Pat they can't even remember

04:16

their email password

04:21

and so what you're doing is you're just

04:24

basically taking Terry you're taking

04:29

tear gas and spraying it into an angry

04:31

mob or you're taking you know flammable

04:37

liquid and pouring it on an existing

04:39

fire you know so you're exacerbating

04:43

that problem by you confusing an average

04:47

user because an average computer user a

04:50

high percentage I would say over 50%

04:52

with my experiences that's probably why

04:55

I get angry and I admit I'm mentally ill

05:00

because I have to deal with

05:01

these goddamn clowns that in my opinion

05:05

they should not be using a computer they

05:07

have no business using a computer you

05:09

know why because they don't even know

05:10

how to properly use it because it's

05:14

obvious to me that they have not

05:15

educated themselves I told I said I

05:19

wasn't gonna get worked up when you

05:26

rename software then it's gonna confuse

05:31

people they may have bought on the low

05:35

of a laptop from you 10 years ago Oh

05:37

back then and hey I mean look at how

05:40

many different name changes where's it

05:42

at now where's it at I know I included

05:49

in my blog post Lenovo companion Lenovo

05:54

settings Lenovo account portal so this

05:58

is the fourth time that the

06:01

mental midgets at Lenovo that I'm

06:03

assuming the marketing department

06:05

thought that they had a brilliant idea

06:06

all let's rename the software on our

06:10

computers that provide updates video

06:15

graphics updates BIOS updates

06:21

operating system updates for peripherals

06:24

serial bus updates oh let's call it

06:28

Lenovo Vantage well what the is a

06:30

little Nova Vantage I don't know I've

06:31

never heard of it oh it might be spyware

06:33

it might be malware it might be junk

06:35

where it might be like malwarebytes it

06:36

might be crap we're like malwarebytes

06:38

malwarebytes is crap we're by the way

06:40

and I'm not the only one that knows that

06:43

I was you have to do is read their

06:45

reviews and and their third they're

06:48

going down they deserve to go down there

06:50

is an existing lawsuit that was react if

06:53

I it from a French company is taking on

06:55

malwarebytes because Mel were oh yeah

06:58

malwarebytes they're corrupt criminal

06:59

corporation they stole one of my YouTube

07:02

videos I should take them to court but

07:04

the problem is I'd have to did you have

07:06

to have money capital you have to have a

07:08

legal team and from one in this wretched

07:13

system of capitalism when one person

07:16

tries to take on a group of people

07:18

well they turn into savages and you know

07:22

it gets ugly but malwarebytes is dealing

07:26

with another company suing them so I'm

07:30

not the only entity on this planet that

07:33

hates malwarebytes

07:38

here is quarter verbatim but the quotes

07:41

got up so I don't know I don't

07:44

give a I can quickly fix that I'm

07:46

not perfect

07:47

oh yeah I admit when I owe ya you

07:49

you got all these politically correct

07:52

and on YouTube well

07:55

done well don't do this don't admit when

07:57

you're wrong don't admit you made a

07:59

mistake don't point out your flaws no

08:03

you don't tell me what to do yeah

08:07

look look it's the the quote I quoted it

08:10

twice so I up well I can go back

08:15

and fix that what's wrong with admitting

08:17

when you make a mistake huh

08:20

I got a pop-up from the Lenovo Vantage

08:24

that says Lenovo recommends that you

08:26

install these updates to optimize your

08:28

computer please note the following

08:29

updates may require your system to

08:31

reboot more than once we recommend

08:33

saving your work in preparation for

08:35

system shutdown BIOS update 1064 I think

08:39

I'm assuming that that refers to Windows

08:41

10 and then 64-bit I could be wrong but

08:43

that's the only logical numbers that

08:45

that make sense

08:47

unquote I wanted to find out if this was

08:50

real or a scam thanks for any hope you

08:52

can give me see this is a this is a

08:54

Lenovo customer they just brought a bat

08:56

brand-new Lenovo IdeaPad 320 brand-new

09:02

right out of the box and they've noticed

09:05

I think - twice they received a pop up

09:08

now it could be ignorant they're not

09:11

familiar with Windows 10 they're not

09:12

familiar with Microsoft somebody just

09:14

subscribed but I don't I just noticed

09:18

that

09:18

Kwami car just subscribe well they'll

09:21

probably unsubscribe as soon as they

09:24

hear my loud mouth or my adult language

09:27

or the fact that I don't like certain

09:28

religious groups or the fact that I

09:30

talked about and criticized the United

09:32

States government military as being

09:33

liars and bla bla bla bla

09:35

so that subscriber will probably

09:37

disappear ha ha ha do I care no I do not

09:41

care about subscribers if you're

09:44

offended by that I don't give a I

09:46

just need enough subscribers to

09:50

YouTube has the dumbshit 4000 view hours

09:54

per year and 1000 subscriber rule I

10:00

bypassed that well not bypassed I've

10:03

surpassed that

10:04

so requirement a long time ago so I

10:07

don't worry about it but I do keep that

10:09

in the back of my head that YouTube

10:11

could possibly move the goal posts again

10:13

and instead of requiring 1000

10:15

subscribers in order for you to monetize

10:17

your videos and monetize your YouTube

10:19

channel well that could change to 10,000

10:22

and I would be and then I would I

10:24

would be begging you I'm sorry I'm sorry

10:27

too I'm sorry I yelled at you I'm sorry

10:30

I made a mistake I'm not perfect please

10:32

don't judge me please subscribe to my

10:35

channel please I've been desperate need

10:38

know you'll never hear from that even if

10:40

YouTube changed I would just leave

10:42

unless I felt I could catch up but

10:45

that's a big number oh oh you got the

10:48

YouTube Technology shells that they

10:50

claim that well there one of them claims

10:53

that you're not legit until you've

10:55

received a hundred thousand subscribers

10:57

I'm not making this up

10:58

that's how snobby and it's narcissistic

11:02

these are there's one huge

11:04

YouTube I consider a michelle youtube

11:08

technology shill that claims that if you

11:12

do not have 100 thousand subscribers on

11:15

youtube then you're not legit you're

11:18

you're not in the game you're not you're

11:20

not important enough well you know what

11:22

you know what so don't worry about

11:27

subscribe but who cares about

11:28

subscribers mad why do you want to

11:32

become popular so just because you have

11:34

300,000 subscribers or a hit or 800,000

11:37

subscribers you feel that now all of a

11:40

sudden you're important or now you're

11:43

legitimate you weren't legitimate when

11:45

you only had a thousand subscribers you

11:47

were not legitimate when you had 50,000

11:49

it's only until you surpass a certain

11:52

number now your legitimate now you're a

11:54

game-changer I don't give a about

11:57

that dumb you know why because I've

12:00

received over 2.6 million

12:03

use now you know how many subscribers I

12:06

have I don't even know the exact count

12:08

I know it's over 2600 that's all I know

12:10

but you know how many views I've

12:12

received over 2.6 million and actually

12:17

that number is closer to two million

12:19

seven hundred thousand because

12:21

Malwarebytes stole one of my videos so I

12:23

lost views for that and then there was a

12:25

I received another another video taken

12:29

down and now the video had like thirty

12:31

thousand so I think about fifty thousand

12:35

views are not don't show up now when it

12:46

comes to a BIOS Cup grades I got to move

12:48

along I've got lunch I've got I want to

12:51

get I've got an avocado I've got some

12:53

out of acardo's I've gotta eat when I

12:56

went to the store they were on sale two

12:59

13:05

13:10

has a lot of fat but your brain needs

13:11

fat see I'm a vegan I'm a I don't like

13:17

labels but yeah if you were to call me a

13:19

vegan I don't take offense to it I know

13:22

some vegans now don't like being labeled

13:25

vegans or they don't like to label

13:26

themselves a vegan I like it because

13:28

well it's just a word it's abstract just

13:31

it has a definition I do not consume

13:34

animal products although I'm not perfect

13:36

if somebody believe it or not within the

13:39

last year I've eaten cooked food and

13:40

I've also eaten animal food some people

13:47

if they offer me free food if they

13:50

offered to buy me lunch and I can't get

13:53

around it I had one one of my customers

13:55

believe it or not he went to breakfast

13:58

14:17

had a spare entire breakfast and he put

14:21

14:23

when he picked up the computer he

14:24

14:27

gift and yes I will eat it because I

14:31

don't when it comes to food I hate

14:34

14:37

but these Americans are pigs and slobs

14:40

and they waste everything well they're

14:44

their stuff well look they walk around

14:46

they walk around like this well have you

14:50

you you need to study nutrition animal

14:52

meat sits in your colon up to two years

14:55

so anyways I don't want to digress too

14:58

much but see I'm already bored with this

15:00

video I'm already tired I might just end

15:01

it now and that's it click click on the

15:05

link on the description box below

15:07

that'll take you to my blog post on my

15:09

website net Kabir's I'll come where you

15:10

could read all about how to upgrade and

15:13

in update your BIOS on Lenovo with

15:17

Lenovo Vantage adios alright so when it

15:24

comes to performing a BIOS update even

15:27

now you know we're approaching two

15:30

decades into the 2000s I take BIOS

15:34

updates very seriously because there's

15:36

always a possibility that they will

15:38

up and your computer won't boot now back

15:41

in the day 20 years ago even 10 years

15:44

ago but especially two decades ago in

15:46

the early 90s when the personal computer

15:49

was exploding and after IBM IBM patented

15:53

I could be wrong about that but I think

15:54

IBM holds the patent on the personal

15:56

computer in there in the you know late

16:00

80s but especially the early 90s early

16:03

to mid 90s you had the explosion with PC

16:05

come with computers everybody could

16:07

afford a computer well not everybody not

16:10

not everybody can it can afford a

16:11

computer now and it deals with European

16:14

supremacy but I don't want to digress

16:15

about that but back then you know you

16:20

had the internet you had the World Wide

16:22

Web computers became more and more

16:24

affordable compared compared to now they

16:26

were very expensive but even I could

16:29

afford

16:30

but I made myself before you know what I

16:31

did this is a true fact

16:33

I took my loan I took out a student loan

16:37

and I used most of it

16:39

well that that allotment of it I used

16:41

that allotment of it which technically

16:44

you're not supposed to do I used it all

16:46

for a computer I bought a brand-new

16:48

Tower

16:49

I bought a brand-new printer and a

16:51

brand-new monitor it came with a

16:53

keyboard and a mouse and an operating

16:55

system and all that and guess what two

16:59

decades later it was only about $2,000

17:01

or whatever it was but even back then

17:03

that was a lot of money and I think it

17:08

you know what I'm saying two decades

17:12

later by me using that money I'm able to

17:17

you know take care of myself my point is

17:24

it was an excellent return on investment

17:26

it was a really it was a better return

17:28

on investment because actually I dropped

17:32

out of college and bought college that's

17:35

a waste of time all right I digress so

17:39

BIOS upgrades back in the day were very

17:41

risky because you had to know what you

17:44

were doing you had to download they used

17:47

to refer to it as flashing because you

17:48

would flash the BIOS bios's are basic

17:52

the basic input/output system is

17:55

basically read-only memory but there's a

17:57

portion of it that can be flashed and

17:58

that's what they used to refer to it you

18:00

had to download it onto a floppy disk

18:03

now sometimes you could download the

18:05

program that would create the floppy

18:06

disk but if not you had to know how to

18:08

create a bootable floppy disk then you

18:10

had to copy the the file the config file

18:13

onto the disk and then you had to boot

18:16

off the floppy disk and then you had to

18:19

start and then the BIOS flash updating

18:21

program would start and you would have

18:23

to tell the program either the exact

18:25

name of the config file or the file path

18:29

and then it would flash the BIOS that

18:31

took a lot longer and there were risks

18:33

they were a lot it was a lot riskier

18:36

there was a couple of computers I think

18:37

I well it just the BIOS will fail

18:40

you know you know it just if it fails

18:42

you're but

18:43

back then there was ways around it you

18:46

what you would have to do is you would

18:47

have to download the original bios or an

18:50

older one and then try to flash it again

18:52

and then sometimes the BIOS updates they

18:56

were buggy or they just didn't work or

18:58

they failed and if you couldn't fix it

19:01

you had a bricked computer which did

19:04

occur nowadays two decades later it does

19:08

I do see on this third pair website I do

19:11

see people where they try to flash the

19:14

BIOS and then all of a sudden the

19:15

computer isn't Boonton correctly or

19:17

something goes wrong whereas if you

19:19

follow directions and you know what

19:21

you're doing it's a lot less riskier

19:23

it's a lot easier most times all you do

19:25

is like like Lenovo Vantage Lenovo

19:28

Vantage will automatically update your

19:30

BIOS for you well what you you can

19:33

control you can set Lenovo Vantage to

19:34

automatic updates I don't recommend that

19:36

because even these Original Equipment

19:38

Manufacturer software's like Lenovo

19:41

Vantage Dell has a tool HP has a tool

19:44

they all have their tools where they

19:46

will check for updates and two for your

19:50

computer well they're not perfect so but

19:55

nowadays it's much easier the software

19:57

will download it and then you know it'll

20:00

man it'll install it and then it'll warn

20:03

you and then it'll tell you you know you

20:05

have to restart the computer the

20:07

computer restarts now technically a BIOS

20:09

cannot be upgraded while the operating

20:11

system is running the BIOS can you

20:14

because get it you know the basic

20:16

input/output system so it has to restart

20:19

and I think it gets installed in in

20:22

memory instead of like off a floppy and

20:26

that virtual memory and then it's very

20:29

quick it's a lot quicker back in the day

20:31

20 years ago you'd be so they're calm

20:33

well you have to realize that the

20:35

architecture was slower but even off a

20:38

floppy you know the files weren't that

20:40

big is floppy was limited to one point

20:42

four four megabytes so about a you know

20:45

so but no it would it would take a long

20:49

it would just sit there oh my god and

20:51

then you knew the risks oh yeah oh yeah

20:53

if any technician tells you that

20:56

20 years ago that BIOS updates were

20:59

flawless and perfect and you didn't have

21:01

to worry they're lying there's a lot of

21:02

liars on YouTube and there's a lot of

21:04

liars on the technology channels

21:08

pathological liars - I'm not saying I'm

21:12

perfect but I don't care if I tell you

21:15

the truth I don't care if I tell you

21:18

that Microsoft Windows individuals on

21:23

Google search every day 10,000 to

21:27

100,000 times Windows Start menu is not

21:31

working why are there 10,000 to 100,000

21:36

searches every month for the term

21:38

Windows 10 Start menu is not working see

21:45

BIOS update am I gonna go through you

21:49

know I'm not gonna tell you that you

21:51

know I can't demonstrate it but Lenovo

21:55

Vantage

21:56

okay so Lenovo Vantage is the brilliant

21:59

buffoons the brilliant mental midgets

22:01

I'm assuming in the sales and marketing

22:03

department at levanta novo for the

22:06

fourth time now they decided to

22:08

change their maintenance software the

22:11

name well you just confused your

22:13

users and this is proof this person

22:18

thought that it was malware they didn't

22:19

know what the that was they

22:20

received a couple of popups from some

22:23

software called Vantage I don't even

22:26

know if it said did it say the Lenovo

22:28

let's see oh well but there was a clue

22:35

Lenovo Vantage but you know you never

22:37

know

22:37

oh yeah there oh yeah there's malware

22:39

out there and spyware that they will

22:42

falsify and they will claim that the

22:44

software is from an existing technology

22:48

company yes but there was a clue there

22:50

if it was me I would have figured it out

22:52

but I'm a computer technician and I know

22:54

better than that but I would have been

22:56

too confused to because this is

22:58

something new

22:59

Lenovo Vantage has it hasn't been around

23:01

it was it was designed specifically

23:04

succinctly exclusively for Microsoft

23:07

Windows 10 I don't think it runs on

23:09

Windows 7

23:09

I don't think you can download it and

23:11

install it on Windows 7 you can download

23:13

it and install it from the Microsoft

23:17

Store but it will only work on Windows

23:19

10 and it is built-in if you buy a

23:23

brand-new Lenovo it will have the

23:25

software already installed and loaded

23:27

and you'll start getting notifications

23:29

but they had never heard of the software

23:32

I mean I never heard I don't think I've

23:34

ever heard of it again you know I don't

23:36

have time to sit there and Oh Dell just

23:38

renamed their maintenance after

23:40

well okay you know hewlett-packard

23:43

renamed their maintenance software

23:46

well Macintosh The Time Machine backups

23:48

are no longer well goddamn I turned into

23:51

no that Apple renamed The Time Machine

23:52

backups to going back in time goddamn it

23:55

Aaron keep up with the Joneses Aaron

23:57

goddammit you're not much of a

23:58

technician are you Aaron god dammit

24:02

here's a warning if you do decide to

24:04

become a vegan you need to become aware

24:06

that you may if you do things right when

24:09

you get your transcendence of

24:10

consciousness you're gonna have more

24:11

energy than you may have ever had but

24:13

you need to you know you need to deal

24:15

with that but another warning about

24:18

veganism is you have to eat more if well

24:22

it depends on I don't eat the I don't I

24:24

you I eat some cooked food but primarily

24:26

I prefer raw food raw fruits and

24:29

vegetables well when you decide to eat

24:34

mostly if not all you know raw fruits

24:38

and vegetables fruits and vegetables are

24:41

are densely water they're water-based

24:44

it's a water-based food

24:47

I mean grapes celery cucumbers tomatoes

24:52

they have a lot of water so you need to

24:56

become aware that you have to eat more

24:57

the I would say 3 anywhere from 3 to 5

25:01

times more because it's very water dense

25:05

you know I'm saying so in order for you

25:07

to get enough calories you still want it

25:11

you still need calories if you want if

25:13

you need 2,000 calories and you start

25:15

eating just raw fruits and vegetables

25:17

you're gonna have to start consuming

25:19

three to five times more than then

25:21

maybe another person because you know

25:23

foods like rice and beans and you know

25:28

oh it's grains meat that crap was not

25:31

all crap but that kind of that kind of

25:34

food is is let it doesn't nearly have as

25:37

much water it's protein based carb based

25:40

it's you know whereas fruits and

25:44

vegetables is is dense with water which

25:48

which is good which that water is good

25:50

for you but it lacks you know carbs and

25:55

fats and proteins and sugars because

25:58

it's water based

26:00

although the why the what I don't want

26:01

to digress about what I've studied about

26:03

you know raw fruits and

26:04

vegetables but once you climb that

26:08

ladder and once you've figured out that

26:10

you're getting enough calories you are

26:12

going to just you know be compared to

26:16

other people and you know it's a you'll

26:20

just alright so you have to become aware

26:22

that I do not consume caffeine except

26:26

for green tea I don't drink coffee and

26:29

I'm wired a lot of times I have to

26:32

control I have to I have to amp myself

26:35

down I gotta control myself you know I'm

26:38

saying so it's not like I'm stimulants

26:43

are bad for you Coffee is a waste you

26:45

don't now coffee does have some

26:47

healthful benefits like cancer patients

26:51

can use coffee and enemas to try to you

26:55

know rid themselves of cancer there is

26:58

some benefits with cancer i cancer what

27:01

the am i saying man there yeah

27:03

there is some benefits with cancer see I

27:05

just made a major articulated blunder do

27:09

I care no there is some benefits to

27:13

coffee but overall the pros and the cons

27:17

there's too many cons you don't I don't

27:20

like stimulants anymore you to me to if

27:24

in my opinion if you have to consume

27:27

coffee to get enough energy in your day

27:29

to make videos or to have enough energy

27:33

to become you know vibrant on your

27:37

videos there's something else wrong with

27:39

you man

27:40

because I don't need to consume any

27:44

caffeine and if now fruit juices help

27:47

but when I consume enough fruits and

27:48

vegetables I've got plenty of energy

27:52

trust me alright so basically with

27:57

Lenovo Vantage when you first open it it

28:01

may ask you a couple of questions I

28:03

closed it it'll ask you some personal

28:06

preferences oh I didn't want to deal

28:08

with it so I closed it I open it again

28:10

the next time I open it now this was on

28:12

a brand new computer it didn't ask me

28:14

for those preferences it'll open up and

28:17

then it'll check for updates there's an

28:20

automatic feature you can disable it you

28:21

can either leave the Lenovo Vantage

28:23

automatic updates enabled or you can

28:25

turn it off it'll check for updates on

28:28

this computer there was only one update

28:30

and it was a BIOS update I clicked on it

28:32

it downloaded and then it asked me now

28:35

it will warn you this is another caveat

28:37

even nowadays I would take BIOS upgrades

28:41

serious because they are lethal now you

28:45

know Windows 10 updates are lethal and

28:49

malwarebytes updates are lethal

28:51

malwarebytes updates will cause your

28:53

computer not to boot or to crash or to

28:55

freeze up or whatever you know I'm

28:58

saying a BIOS update can cause your

29:00

computer to never boot again the post

29:02

will the you know the BIOS post the test

29:07

the self-test it can cause the computer

29:11

never to boot

29:12

again and and sometimes those are

29:15

permanent damages you may never be able

29:18

to fix that by us again even even now so

29:22

BIOS updates are not perfect I would

29:24

take it very serious

29:26

if you have a laptop always plug in the

29:30

AC adapter you do not ever want the

29:33

computer to turn off during a BIOS

29:35

update never you never want that to

29:39

occur because chances are it was halfway

29:42

in between it was it was partially

29:45

flashing the BIOS and if it gets stuck

29:48

it most it chances are if you won't be

29:53

able to fix it and you just have a brick

29:55

you just bricked your computer so if you

29:59

have a laptop plug in your AC adapter

30:02

you do not want to perform a BIOS update

30:05

off the battery just in case you know

30:09

I'm saying I wouldn't take the risk

30:11

that's one thing you need to know your

30:15

computer has to restart because the BIOS

30:17

cannot be flashed while an operating

30:19

system is running and a file system is

30:22

mounted now they're much quicker than

30:24

back in the day they're really quick I

30:26

was some surprised I was like back in

30:29

the day you'd sit there and you were

30:31

like kind of a little you know you know

30:33

just cautious and and then you're and

30:36

then once the BIOS did finish up then

30:37

you're like haha now when I worked in

30:41

corporate America which I never will do

30:42

again and I worked for the federal

30:44

government which I will never do again

30:47

thankfully I wasn't dumb enough to join

30:49

the military

30:50

let's see Henry Kissinger is quoted as

30:53

saying military men are dumb stupid

30:56

animals used for foreign policy I

30:57

digress back to this video my

31:01

experiences in corporate America and the

31:04

government America we were never tasked

31:07

with flashing bios's updated biases

31:10

except unless there was a known bug that

31:14

the IT department decided to rectify

31:17

other than that we never flashed bios's

31:21

never not ten years ago not 20 years ago

31:25

so I don't know what the information

31:29

technology departments decide now in

31:31

corporate America government America

31:33

quite frankly I don't give a but we

31:36

were not tasked with that

31:43

anything else about a BIOS update that's

31:46

it now then this individual

31:49

I had them now I remotely connected into

31:52

their computer and oh a warning

31:56

now most BIOS is from my experience if

32:00

you try to install the wrong BIOS on the

32:02

wrong computer it will error out but I

32:05

wouldn't risk it because nothing is

32:08

perfect you know what I'm saying I know

32:09

the pale-skinned Europeans claim that

32:11

their system is perfect but they're full

32:13

of that's part of their European

32:15

supremacy they want you to think that

32:17

it's acceptable to murder 95% of the

32:20

indigenous off of a continent and then

32:22

replace their system with some dumb

32:24

you know what I'm saying and of course

32:26

they're gonna use propaganda and of

32:27

course they're gonna lie to you and make

32:29

you think that what you know society now

32:31

is perfect when no it is far from

32:34

perfect there are major problems on this

32:37

continent

32:42

this upgrade warned me it said are you

32:46

sure you want to update your BIOS for in

32:49

it and it gave me the model now this

32:51

BIOS update supported both what was it I

32:55

3 - it was 320 I 8th you're here it is

33:01

this BIOS update supported 321 41 4 i 8p

33:08

+ 3 2015 I 8 P those were specific

33:12

lenovo model numbers so make sure if in

33:16

doubt don't perform a BIOS update if

33:18

you're in doubt don't do it until you

33:21

make sure that you've got the right

33:23

computer now with this was a brand-new

33:26

computer all's I did was go into Windows

33:28

10 settings and then I went into system

33:30

or another quick way is let's see I can

33:34

demonstrate probably really quick

33:36

another way is to just do this

33:39

right-click the Windows 10 Start menu

33:42

button that is there are 10,000 to

33:45

100,000 searches per month for the

33:48

search term of Windows 10 Start menu

33:51

button does not

33:52

work now why is that so right-click it

33:55

and then choose system and on this

33:57

Lenovo IdeaPad 320 it told me the exact

34:00

model and so I verified it another way

34:03

you can verify it is if you have the

34:06

serial number you can look it up at

34:07

lenovo's website or if on the box here

34:10

is a gold well you may think this is a

34:12

funny gold tip you know Oh Aaron we know

34:16

that you're a lunatic vegan and

34:18

you're a tree hugger you love nature you

34:20

despise the pale skinned Europeans that

34:23

have destroyed the planet and are at war

34:26

constantly and blah blah blah we are

34:28

sick and tired of your goddamn

34:30

urn well here's a gold tip if you buy a

34:33

brand-new computer save everything save

34:36

the box you know why because my

34:38

experiences as a boy as a computer

34:40

technician where many times my job was

34:44

to unbox computers or clean up the boxes

34:46

or break down the boxes or inventory the

34:48

boxes or scan the serial codes the cert

34:51

you know blah blah blah scan the

34:53

barcodes and inventory blah blah a lot

34:56

of times the computer model number is is

35:00

on a sticker on the outside of the box

35:03

or sometimes you'll get a little booklet

35:07

a little a little QuickStart guide or a

35:12

little manual and the your model will be

35:14

in that manual or even the serial number

35:17

might be in that manual the computer

35:19

model number in a serial number is very

35:21

valuable as a technician because I can

35:25

look up the specifications I can look up

35:27

the warranty I can reorder parts bla bla

35:30

bla so that can be very valuable to save

35:33

the box and plus if you have the

35:35

original box if you move you can that

35:39

box now you may not know this but a lot

35:42

of the boxes that when you go to Best

35:45

Buy or you go to Micro Center or even

35:49

when you order a computer online and it

35:52

gets shipped to you and the computer

35:56

might come with two boxes or it might be

35:57

just one box believe it or not to save

36:01

money a lot of the original equipment

36:04

manufacturers they will ship out

36:06

the same box that you get the computer

36:09

at a retail store they will ship the

36:11

computer in those same boxes it's not

36:13

like they put now sometimes they put a

36:15

one box inside of a box but a lot of

36:18

times they don't and I know from

36:19

experiences because I bought refurbished

36:22

computers directly from Dell Dell has

36:25

I'm not I'm not given Dell free

36:27

advertising I'm just in context Dell has

36:30

a store a refurbished store the prices

36:33

are kind of high but I've bought some

36:35

computers from them and they're there

36:37

they're very nice there are very few

36:39

scratches the operating systems are

36:41

already loaded very well taken care of

36:43

anyways they ship me that computer in in

36:47

the original box it was not a box within

36:52

a box and you know what it only had it

36:55

only had like star it didn't I have a

36:57

bunch of peanuts it didn't have a bunch

36:58

of paper or a bunch of bubble wrap no it

37:02

had I don't want to digress too much it

37:05

only had one item to keep the computer

37:08

from moving other than that it was a box

37:11

that you would get the computer if you

37:13

worked at a corporation or if you bought

37:15

it from Best Buy I'm not making that

37:17

up so you can also most likely ship

37:21

that computer in the same box if you

37:23

keep it or you can when you move you

37:25

just put the laptop in that box yes

37:31

knowing ignorance is bliss until you die

37:34

from a vaccination ignorant is bliss

37:36

until you try to perform a BIOS update

37:38

and then you're like oh so you know so

37:41

even now I would definitely definitely

37:43

not risk it I would make sure that

37:46

you're installing the same BIOS update

37:49

for the the correct model number of

37:51

computer this BIOS update you could

37:54

install it on two different models and I

37:56

double checked so you know what I'm

37:59

saying and then that was it I'd I made

38:02

sure that the computer model number

38:04

matched and I kicked off the update and

38:07

then the computer restarted and then I

38:09

had the customer going to Lenovo Vantage

38:13

and double check to make sure the BIOS

38:15

successfully upgraded and she's well I

38:18

don't know they

38:19

said yes and then then I then they

38:25

checked for updates there were no more

38:27

Lenovo updates and that was it so you

38:30

know ignorant but they learned and

38:31

there's nothing see this video didn't

38:33

piss me off because it was just ignorant

38:35

one definition of ignorance is you just

38:37

don't know I don't mind that when no

38:39

when people you know in technology I

38:42

don't expect them to know everything no

38:44

no no no no no no I've never said that

38:46

an average American or an aunt way I

38:48

don't like most Americans that's a bad

38:49

example hahaha I've never said that an

38:52

average human should know it everything

38:54

that I know because they do something

38:56

else they wash vehicles for a living or

38:59

their stockbrokers or their Bitcoin or

39:03

they they're a they're a boy

39:05

or a girl and they sit in a

39:07

cubicle all day or they're a developer

39:13

busy doing other stuff no no I don't

39:16

39:18

what bothers me is that in my opinion an

39:20

average user they're lazy they don't

39:23

want to go to the bookstore or

39:25

go to the library there are countless

39:28

computer books at your local library

39:35

look cut up you can search Oh how to use

39:37

a computer don't don't be ashamed don't

39:40

39:43

think I only bought two computer books

39:45

early on and then I'm self-taught I

39:48

bought I think I bought like a dummies

39:50

guide to computers or yeah or idiots

39:54

39:58

derogatory

39:59

I don't like terms like nerd or geek

40:01

40:05

there's a propaganda campaign especially

40:07

in America to dumb down Society the

40:09

derma fication Society they want you to

40:12

become an idiot and a and stupid

40:15

in an imbecile and a mental

40:17

whereas I'm like no that doesn't make

40:19

logical sense don't be ashamed who cares

40:22

what other people think about you could

40:24

go off to the library and look for those

40:26

dummies books or idiots books or how to

40:29

use a computer that's how I learned I

40:32

didn't know when I

40:33

use that loan money to purchase my very

40:35

first computer

40:36

the only other experiences with

40:38

computers were college the cloud had

40:43

brand new IBM well not know about brand

40:45

new but they had Pentium IBM computers

40:48

very expensive and I had a lot of lab

40:50

experience I took a business course in

40:53

high school I guess what there were only

40:56

two males in that course and then the

40:59

other one left at at the beginning of

41:02

that business class I would say there

41:03

was a handful of males guys about five

41:06

of us well eventually there we were down

41:08

to two and then about halfway through

41:12

that course I was the last guy in that

41:15

class I'm not making this up

41:16

there were about twenty to thirty

41:18

females and then me

41:20

the only other male in that room was the

41:23

teacher that was it

41:25

it was a business class we learned how

41:27

to type we it was a second-level typing

41:31

it was a it wasn't first level typing

41:34

where you never learn how to type on a

41:36

typewriter

41:36

it was like a second level type where

41:39

you learn more advanced and you learn

41:41

how to type faster then we learn how to

41:44

use computers and that all that was

41:47

extremely valuable and I also learned

41:49

how I got more experiences typing on a

41:52

keyboard and I don't I can type by by

41:56

touch I don't need to know I I don't

41:59

need and and I don't do this you know

42:03

you know chicken scratch no no I can

42:06

type by touch knots not chicken scratch

42:11

just like this and I can type I'm not

42:13

bragging but I can type over 50 words

42:16

per minute I've I've tested myself I've

42:20

had to try to get some jobs and some

42:22

supplemental income and sometimes like a

42:26

virtual assistant or a work from home

42:28

assistant and they'll make you take a

42:30

typing exam and they'll tell you the

42:32

score and I scored in the 50s so with

42:37

some mistakes but you can't make too

42:39

many mistakes well that's a you know

42:41

metaphor and you

42:43

for the system which is very ironic but

42:45

I digress back to this anything else

42:50
