A Suggestion

I have a suggestion.

Requests for modding the BIOS of HP's computers——despite being impossible——continue to come in, but it seems that many members have grown tired of them, as responses have become increasingly scarce.

To address this, I propose placing a banner at the top of this site stating: "Recent BIOS versions of HP's machines feature extremely strong encryption, and no one has successfully decrypted them into readable files. Therefore, submitting mod requests is futile and meaningless."

This should significantly reduce the number of such requests.

That’s actually a very reasonable suggestion. Many users don’t realize how secure and locked down HP BIOS versions have become, especially on newer machines. A clear banner like that would save everyone’s time — both for those asking and for those constantly explaining why BIOS modding is no longer possible. It would set expectations upfront and reduce repetitive threads.

Maybe it could also include a short note like “BIOS modding on HP systems is no longer feasible due to advanced encryption — no public tools or methods exist”  to make it even clearer.
