🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the whole purpose of the decode-vaio tool is to decode the information found in the Sony Vaio laptop identification EEPROMs 🎀 like that's it, that's the mission, and she eats every single time 🔥

⚠️ okay important thing before you go anywhere: the tool requires the eeprom kernel module to be loaded. no module, no vibes. it's giving "load me first or we're not doing this" 😭
