Just curious, what's the status of #LibreBoot with regard to battery thresholds?

I recall on my X200, tp-smapi wasn't supported. Has that changed on newer machines?

Thanks!

If you are looking for someone to help with #libreboot installation, and you live in the US, let me recommend Libervaro: https://www.ebay.com/usr/libervaro

You mail in your laptop, and the company will do an external flash of the latest Libreboot update. The customer service is superb, and the service is quick.

I used their services to un-brick my ThinkPad T60. The whole thing took about a week, and I received a lot of communication through the process.

My small contribution to #libreboot just got merged 🥰 https://codeberg.org/libreboot/lbmk/pulls/402

Just build, and flashed #libreboot 26.01 on the HP2570p. Not sure if it matters hehe, but so easy it’s kinda boring 🤣

Libreboot è un BIOS/UEFI libero, una distribuzione di coreboot che restituisce alle persone il controllo dei propri computer.

Con #Libreboot ottieni funzionalità di sicurezza che altrove sono rare o assenti, come la vera cifratura completa del disco, avvii più rapidi, maggiore possibilità di personalizzazione e rilasci stabili ogni 6 mesi e ogni acquisto di PC su https://minifree.org/ finanzia il progetto, lo sviluppo e l’indipendenza.

#Libreboot 26.01 Open-Source Boot Firmware Released With New Board Support

https://linuxiac.com/libreboot-26-01-released-with-new-board-support/

Good news: I have found a US-based service for installing #Libreboot on compatible laptops.

I am currently trying them out. I will make an update if it goes well.

Libreboot is good for privacy, and it's good for #FreeSoftware. Libreboot is also good for getting new life out of old hardware. It *will* speed up the boot time on old ThinkPads.

Nu een talk over LibreBoot.

I cannot thank @libreleah enough for #libreboot.

#libreboot people? t400 to give away

Đã hủy Spotify, chuyển sang Debian, tự host nhạc với Navidrome (≈2 TB). Không quảng cáo, không thuật toán, chỉ tập trung vào file âm nhạc của mình. Cài Libreboot, loại bỏ BIOS kín, máy tính lại trở thành công cụ đơn giản, ổn định. Ai cũng đã bỏ streaming hay Windows, thử tự host? #Spotify #Linux #Debian #SelfHosting #Navidrome #OpenSource #Libreboot #Music #Vietnam #âm_nhạc #tự_chủ #linux #debian #mở_nguồn

what is the benefit of LibreBoot?

Is it to replace the "Bios" with one that you have some certainty over what it is doing?

Does its **totally** neutralise the secretive and overly-capable Intel Management Engine / AMD Platform Security Processor ?

@dennyhenke I hate to break it to you, but you've got Intel ME inside. So - perhaps no full control of your device, sorry. #libreboot #coreboot

Ich war zwar schon ziemlich eingerostet, aber habe wieder mal libreboot auf einem Thinkpad installiert, ein T480, top Gerät damit. 😍

#Thinkpad #Libreboot

Nice rant but #libreboot is a godsend.

I actually have comfort in how my laptop's boot process works now, and I get to dodge garbage UEFI that every manufacturer seems to put in their laptops now. This is not a privacy concern for me, it's just the bugginess makes Linux and other operating systems a bit unusable.

I modified bbswitch so I could switch Optimus off/on using x86 IO in kernel space. Unfortunately it works 80-90% of the time, and this **really** should only be done in BIOS space. x86 seems to share the notion of Ring 0 with most of coreboot and the kernel, but think about the System Management Mode components (and the ME, if it were still active in this BIOS).

I don't know much about the coreboot codebase but there are stale but pending patches for Optimus support on certain Lenovo W series ThinkPads that seem to share the same Power Management IC. Patience...

American schools had machine shop electives. Offer them the same with computers' inner workings if they so wish.

#Microsoft s Einfluss ist viel größer, als "nur" #Windows, #Office & #Azure: Der Konzern hat über Jahre hinweg #Secure #Boot aus dem #UEFI-Standard zum eigenen Vorteil beeinflusst. Da UEFI das klassische #BIOS abgelöst hat, besitzen sie weitreichende Kontrolle über den Startprozess von #Betriebssystemen auf nahezu allen #Computer.
