I made a bootable USB and it shows up fine in Windows, but when I press F12 to open the boot menu, the USB entry says "Device Guard (Unselectable)", so I can't boot from it at all.

The laptop also has a Supervisor password set by a previous owner. The refurbisher doesn't know the password either because they bought it from someone else.

Has anyone come across this before?

• Is "Device Guard (Unselectable)" caused by the Supervisor password?
• Is there any legitimate way to boot Linux Mint without knowing the Supervisor password?

Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm like 90% sure this is completely normal, but I just want a sanity check.

My RTX 2080 Ti is under full load while gaming and it's sitting at:

• GPU Usage: 97%
• Temperature: 81°C
• Core Clock: 1905MHz
• Fan Speed: 4084 RPM
• Wattage: 370w

The card seems stable, no crashes or artifacts, and performance is what I'd expect.

Is this pretty normal for a 2080 Ti under a heavy load?

Thanks!

I initially thought shorts were a good idea but now my analytics are all messed up. YouTube claims I have 12k monthly viewers when only 26% of my views actually come from my long-form content.

Don’t get me wrong I enjoy posting shorts but I believe shorts analytics should be separate from long-form.

I myself self host multiple services for me and my friends one of which being a Minecraft server.
