Sometimes, I HATE secure boot

So, been trying to get the BIOS updated on my T14 for 3 days. The latest bios just WOULD NOT boot from USB after doing a geteltorito to the iso and throwing it on USB via usbimager. Tried different USB's, downloaded the image fresh, tried download older images and replacing the EFI folder on the image with an older one. Yeah, ultimately it was because I had turned on secure boot to test if the Debian kernel was signed or not, and forgot to turn it back off....

Only my Dell desktop has secure boot enabled otherwise all my systems its turned off. Dell already had Win10 installed when I got it so I left the desktop as it was.

NORMALLY I have it turned off on everything, but I had turned it on just for testing, and I guess after my testing I had already forgotten that I had turned it on, so it stayed on. It's NOW back off after causing no end of confused looks at the laptop for the last 3 days. And lots of reformatting of USB drives.
