The laptop sat on the workbench like a stubborn relic. It was a Dell Chromebook 11—built for classrooms, clad in rugged plastic, and originally designed to do nothing more than browse the web. But its owner, a hobbyist named Elias, had other plans. He had already performed the "heart transplant," flashing a custom firmware to wipe Google’s BIOS and installing a clean copy of Windows 10.
