thank you! I think this is what needed to explore
It is not my level to edit these things, I’m just Linux newbie exploring the possibilities.
But I still can’t wrap my head over dd not being able to wipe a storage device out, despite being described as a “low level tool that can write zeroes to targets” in the discussion I viewed online.

The bios isn’t like a regular storage device presented to the kernel for mounting.
Dd can’t overwrite a burned cdr either. If the thing you wanna mess with is read only there’s no way to use it as a dd of.
but CD-R aren’t rewrite_able because of their physical property not because protected
that’s true, but in both cases the ability to write data simply isn’t there.
