For systems using regular BIOS, a grub-install against the device it was installed might be required, but when using UEFI, it’s really easy to use a rescue media and execute efibootmgr to alter the boot order. When executing efibootmgr, it might output some information like this: BootCurrent: 0001 Timeout: 0 seconds BootOrder: 0001,0019,001D,001C,0017,0018,001A,001B,001E,001F,0020,0000 Boot0000* Windows Boot Manager Boot0001* Fedora Boot0010 Setup Boot0011 Boot Menu Boot0012 Diagnostic Splash Screen Boot0013 Lenovo Diagnostics Boot0014 Startup Interrupt Menu Boot0015 Rescue and Recovery Boot0016 MEBx Hot Key Boot0017* USB CD Boot0018* USB FDD Boot0019* NVMe0 Boot001A* NVMe1 Boot001B* ATA HDD2 Boot001C* ATA HDD3 Boot001D* ATA HDD0 Boot001E* ATA HDD1 Boot001F* USB HDD Boot0020* PCI LAN Boot0021* IDER BOOT CDROM Boot0022* IDER BOOT Floppy Boot0023* ATA HDD Boot0024* ATAPI CD Note there, the BootCurrent and the BootOrder, the numbers in the BootOrder correspond to the Boot#### that are listed below it. ...

For some of the telegram groups I’m in, I’ve been detecting users that after some period of time, just publish spam messages of any topic. There are many bots for controlling when a user joins, by showing a CAPTCHA that user must resolve (either clicking a button, answering a mathematical operation, inputting a CAPTCHA image text, etc).
