#Libreboot 25.06 Open-Source BIOS/UEFI Firmware Adds More Hardware Support and Various Improvements https://9to5linux.com/libreboot-25-06-open-source-bios-uefi-firmware-adds-more-hardware-support
My X200 is #Libreboot-ed, yes.
What I was actually thinking of doing was just supplying raw 12VDC (or whatever it is the charging port of the thinkpad takes) from a USB-C battery pack and a voltage-selectable PD adapter and feeding that into the thinkpad's charging port with no other battery installed.
That could theoretically provide multiple hours of battery life. :D
@tlaurion @mkukri tl;dr - we already discussed yoru concerns in #libreboot earlier. As Mate said, the upstreaming will be done at a later date when he feels like it. We're not in any rush . You just have to wait.
By the way: there's also the S model. T480s. your initial patch for Heads seemed to only focus on T480, but there's also T480s. so that ifdef should also handle T480s.
Perhaps a better way is this:
Define HAVE_H8S_EC or something, on the other thinkpads. Because T480 doesn't have it.
@edsu Here you go.
The real reason is that impulse buying this little cutie of a #Libreboot 9020 SFF forces me to find some use for it.
My Thinkpad collection keeps growing and I really need to think about what to do with them all
Thinkpad x60
Thinkpad x220
Thinkpad x230
Thinkpad T420 (With Libreboot)
Thinkpad T430s (My wives daily driver)
Thinkpad T480 (My second most used one)
Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen4 (With HaikuOS)
Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen6
Thinkpad T14s Gen4 AMD (My daily driver)
I really need to stop buying those (beautiful) machines.
All of them are running flavors of Linux, except eh X1Gen4, which is curreltly running on HaikuOS and the T420, which is running FreeBSD.

Moar suggestions??
Please retoot
I've just started looking at #LibreBoot and noticed that the Thinkpad W500, W520, and W530 are listed but not the W510. Do you happen to know if that's due to a technical difficulty with the W510 or just lack of availability to test?
@mrdubulous @thomholwerda @osnews You are now banned from #libreboot IRC, and I'm blocking you from further participation with me on mastodon.
Your kind of bullying, coercive and controlling behaviour is unwelcome either in my life or in my communities.
Good day, sir.
@mrdubulous@mastodon.social @thomholwerda @osnews No, you didn't.
You sent a patch that didn't work. I was under no obligation to wait for you. I saw an easy fix and got it working myself.
I never used your work. You're right in one way: I didn't look at it. I did look for review, but I didn't use it in my own version.
As you've chosen to persist, I will now ban you from #libreboot
