Switching between AHCI and RAID on the Dell XPS 15 (9560)

This guide likely applies to other models and, potentially, even laptops from other OEMs that have NVME drives. However, I've only tested this on my Dell XPS 15 (9560) with the OEM Windows installation from the Signature Edition model.

Switching from RAID to AHCI

Switching from RAID to AHCI is significantly simpler than switching from AHCI to RAID. All that's needed is a successful boot to Safe Mode.

To set the default boot mode to Safe Mode, use msconfig.exe or open an admin cmd/PowerShell window and run:

	Working on Android phones can be quite interesting.
	Recently I've had opportunities that required me to work on more advanced features of Android OS apart from the more common create app featurs that rely on pre-created with specified and well supported libraries e.g Jetpack Compose.

	A common problem that many will face as they work on the Android phones, is starting an service on boot complete.
	I will skip the process of implementing the broadcast receiver class and the manifest declaration.

	Main point for this gist is to provide my finding based on the research I have done amd make another developers life easier, I mean, we stand on the shoulders of those that came before us.

	Auto-Starting apps is not very easy for most developers, further, most OEMs make it quite difficult to find the setting manually. Asking the user to navigate to settings and do the work for you is quite a douting task.

	* getRandomWeightedElement()
	* Utility function for getting random values with weighting.
	* Pass in an associative array, such as array('A'=>5, 'B'=>45, 'C'=>50)
	* An array like this means that "A" has a 5% chance of being selected, "B" 45%, and "C" 50%.
	* The return value is the array key, A, B, or C in this case. Note that the values assigned
	* do not have to be percentages. The values are simply relative to each other. If one value
	* weight was 2, and the other weight of 1, the value with the weight of 2 has about a 66%
	* chance of being selected. Also note that weights should be integers.
