Got a used business laptop and found a recessed dongle in it. The original owner says they have no clue, that it’s been in there since they got it. There’s no way a dongle is keeping this thing running, is there? I’ve already swapped the OS, if that matters at all

I don’t know it’s proper name but “list” is an easy way to remember it. Want to see a list of what’s in a folder? ls. Want to see a list of USB devices? lsusb.

Alright, that’s not hard to remember. Thank you!
List of PCI devices? lspci.
lsorlis also often used as an option/switch that is passed to another program to list something. Want to list all active Screen sessions?screen -ls. Want to list all mounted filesystems?mount -l
