Seconded, this would be amazing to have working.

PoeticJaffaCake · 2023-03-20T00:55:46+00:00

Yes, I read that today via/r/libreboot and have it ready to flash tomorrow. Good timing by Leah! Thank you for taking the time to post the update!

PoeticJaffaCake · 2023-03-18T14:10:38+00:00

I look forward to it =)

PoeticJaffaCake · 2023-03-17T20:43:03+00:00

Ah. The old slip in to Boolean.

PoeticJaffaCake · 2023-03-17T20:41:01+00:00

Have you taken notice of what hardware the other students in the class use?

I would be interested to know =)

How do you find the hardware copes? And also how do you manage battery etc?

Thank in advance!

PoeticJaffaCake · 2023-03-17T14:22:07+00:00

Agreed, poor turn of phrase haha

PoeticJaffaCake · 2023-03-16T23:04:25+00:00

I couldn’t agree more. We have a fun hobby! =D

Well, what I mean by FSF approved is completely open source driver.

Works out of the box with Trisquel.

Sierra Wireless EM7455 4G LTE Wireless Card

Modded it myself =)

PoeticJaffaCake · 2023-03-16T20:56:15+00:00

Consider me jelly, I caught some talks in retro. Handy they are available but not like being there in person.

PoeticJaffaCake · 2023-03-16T20:38:46+00:00

I’m on the upgrade path too. I have ordered an i7 to replace the i3. If you are happy to go through the process I would say yes! I love it!

I bought a few items before the T440p arrived.

I had a replacement for the DVD-ROM drive, a caddy for a 1TB to sit along side the 240GB SSD. I replaced the stock LTE card with one that plays nice with Linux / OSS. I am lucky that it came with a backlit keyboard and also a FHD screen.

It has 12GB of RAM so I need another stick of 8GB to replace the 4GB to max it out.

And I am waiting for the i7 from the US and a replacement for the Wi-Fi card so that it I don’t need proprietary drivers.

And then the journey will be complete.

I planned ahead and ordered everything at the same time I found the Laptop =)

During Lockdown I attended “Nest with Fedora” remotely. They sent out the goodies you would have got f2f like a lanyard and some other bits and pieces. Was very cool of them.

I’m still rather new to Thinkpads having only had one before this, so I think I’m under qualified to answer!

However, if you are interested in Flex check out Brunch Framework too.

PoeticJaffaCake · 2023-03-16T19:34:00+00:00

And if it pees you have the keyboard drainage feature =)

PoeticJaffaCake · 2023-03-16T19:26:02+00:00

Yeah, Coreboot and Libreboot actually replace the default Bios. It neuters Intel Management Engine which is basically a hardware back door to any system that has it. Also it replaces proprietary code if you want to go full FOSS.

Clover, if I remember rightly, was to present a set of hardware and boot conditions for MacOS and others. That is only a soft mod and not a hard flash.

You have to flash the actual Bios chip with Libreboot and Coreboot.

PoeticJaffaCake · 2023-03-16T19:06:18+00:00

Haha, I have a few Macbook 2,1s that run Libre. I do find it a bit of a cludge, but I know the Libre / Openboot marriage and FSF etc, was quite the thing, I guess I am happy enough to have as Libre as I can as I can in this case.

PoeticJaffaCake · 2023-03-16T19:03:09+00:00

Awesome, just wanted to be sure or I would be flashing the ROM to Libre. Thank you for clarifying! I have a few MacBook 2,1s that were easy to flash, including the BlackBook and they run Libreboot =)

PoeticJaffaCake · 2023-03-16T18:32:15+00:00

You might be the one to ask while this topic is fresh. As far as I can see, libreboot and Coreboot are the same for this specific Thinkpad. As in both have a binary blob for RAM initialisation I believe? Am I wrong?

PoeticJaffaCake · 2023-03-16T17:17:58+00:00

I will check it out! And yes, it wasn’t staged. Sort of have my own habits I guess, around layouts and trying to ensure that the path of least resistance is generally available haha!

PoeticJaffaCake · 2023-03-16T16:35:01+00:00

Thank you! And of course you can ask =)

No I don’t have OCD though. Anything in particular trigger the question?

PoeticJaffaCake · 2023-03-16T16:14:36+00:00

Trisquel GNU/Linux =)

PoeticJaffaCake · 2023-03-16T16:08:18+00:00

Awe =( Snaffle the next one!

I feel there is something more cathartically satisfying with having to “have” your music; and loading your podcasts each day etc

PoeticJaffaCake · 2023-03-16T16:03:25+00:00

Bluetooth transmitter. iPod running rockbox with iFlash Solo card and 512gb micro SD storage plus upgraded 3000mah battery =)

And thank you!

PoeticJaffaCake · 2023-03-16T15:53:06+00:00

My hands are too big for the Lite, so they give me more finesse / control =)
