And as always, when giving such kind of advice, care should be taken to
warn about the real risks. BIOS is at the real core of the system, just
on top of the hardware. You have to trust Lenovo on this, but since you
bought a Lenovo system it makes sense. Now you have to trust random
people giving you a binary which has basically full power on your
platform. You're free to do whatever you want with that, but remember
bricking your laptop is basically the less serious problem which could
happen.
