## this is peculiar to the picm4 with 200MHz dynamic downclock, which induces several seconds per second of clock drift. Sync with a local NTP server every 5 seconds of server time, ~10-15 seconds realtime, to keep things more-or-less in line.

## NOTE: files apparently have to end in .start or they will not be executed
## NOTE: commands have to exit or daemonize, or 'local' will fail to finish initialization and subsequent attempts to reboot will fail!

Either:
a. dump your BIOS with a chip clip and a CH341 and pay dosdude1 like $20 to remove the whitelist using blaque magicke or
b. use 1vyrain softmod

If b, then any changes you want to make to EC (Embedded Controller) firmware (for classic keyboard mod and/or battery whitelist removal) must be made BEFORE flashing 1vyrain. You can go back later, revert 1vyrain, modify EC, then redo 1vyrain; but you cannot mod EC after 1vyrain is in place.

1. EC mod
