First off, this is the first time I'd ever opened up this laptop and seen "cleared orphaned node" as the notification, insteaf of blocked nodes.

This laptop, I should point out, once belonged to someone else. I kept their segment sheltered with the rest of the Windows OS. I don't know what it's like there; I assume, if I booted into Windows, it would come up as a picture-perfect image of the previous system as it belonged to the previous owner.

I had reason to believe this laptop was a loaner. I side-loaded Ubuntu onto it, both to make it untracable and to practice Linux so that I wouldn't be lying on my resume. This has been entirely successful, and has the added benefit of being completely removed from social media. It can't access my google, facebook, etc. Bluetooth wasn't consistent, though. A few things failed to initialize every time. access to certain features seemed restricted, or I couldn't root access in certain ways. I'm a tinkerer, I admit that, and linux is very friendly to tinkerers. There were still things I couldn't do or undo, including loading any other OS. Ubuntu was the only one that stuck.

So...will I still get "blacklisted hash" warnings when I boot it up? I don't know.
