Ok I made a stupid mistake, and the blue screen during the bootup is the secure boot screen on Lenovo devices

It didnt? I've tried it once before, there was no prompt and then the graphics started glitching, so I reinstalled the old one, there was no prompt again, and now the system is saying there's not nvidia GPU driver

Both spacemanspiffy@lemmy.world and voracread@lemmy.world's answers work, I deleted the leftover files, and ran sudo apt upgrade libmtp because the version I got was out of date

I installed libmtp because I got a "no .source file" error while trying to transfer files

I've been cooking some slow recipies that need a lot of heat (a lot of boiling water and slow stewing) under the kitchen fan, and the smell has greatly dissipated, it looks like the smoke was not a really big problem.

I've already used this hot plate regularly for about 2-3 months already. If this is burning off some other residue, how can I get the smell to go away faster?

The orange tape bit on the top is actually connected to a light that turns on when the heating coil is on. One of the elements is a power switch, the other is a temperature regulator.

Looking into the wires, I couldn't find a third wire, so it probably doesn't have a ground, even though it does have a 3 prong NA design.

Looks the same on the other side, the pattern on the unburnt metal looks like galvanized steel, did the zinc burn off?
