Blade Advanced 2020 BIOS request

Hi

Could I please request a BIOS for a 2020 RBA that actually allows me to make use of my hardware in the way I'd like?

XMP is now disabled since v1.8 for absolutely no reason, with no warning and for ages now I've not been able to undervolt the system. This leaves me in a position where I've paid $4000+ for hardware that runs ridiculously hot and isn't as performant as it could be.

If you also could fix the power over USB-C issues at the same time that would be awesome because in its current state, it's broken. There is no way to pull any more than 60W. This means the battery steadily drains when "on mains" via USB-C as it simply can't provide enough power to the laptop, and the laptop doesn't adjust clocks/voltages accordingly.

Utterly pointless and broken implementation, you plug in via USB-C and the laptop dies quicker than being on battery alone.

Basically - unbreak the $4000 f**king laptop and provide a BIOS that restores some control to the user who actully purchased the laptop please. This is peak anti-consumer buillshit.

Hmmm you've recently updated the BIOS to 1.08? I recall that BIOS was quietly recalled months ago following complaints that XMP was disabled, and some of us owners almost updated into that with our upgraded XMP-enabled RAM.
