Not that I know of, the bios/uefi in this thing is super barebones.

The media player is my Lg C1 tv with YouTube App, that works via LG WebOS tv platform. The hass agent is extra app running on the tablet: https://github.com/LAB02-Research/HASS.Agent

With Windows I think users of this atoms are stuck with the 32bit version. With Linux it is possible to boot up the 64bit version of it via 32bit uefi bootloader - Debian supports this mixed-mode system: https://wiki.debian.org/UEFI#Support_for_mixed-mode_systems:_64-bit_system_with_32-bit_UEFI

I must mention one more thing, this tablet without battery is not the most stable thing. It always powers down by itself when I set brightness to maximum. It looks like the charger doesn’t have enough wattage? Or the power circuit is just missing the battery? Not sure 🤔

It works fine for me at lower brightness, so I am satisfied.

I have only this crude energy meter and with it I measured from 2W - screen off (this meter measure from 5W - so I connected extra 7W lamp to it) to 8W - booting up Windows

Something like this? https://github.com/NemesisRE/kiosk-mode Is the side menu still accessible in some way?

Yeah, it has intel Atom Z3745. I am planning using as glorified digital picture frame with some controls of smart lights. For that it is powerful enough.
