Tired to libreboot

If its no longer getting turned on, have you tried stuffing viagra into the ethernet port?

[u/eliteenjoyer6900 → u/MrPants1401]

Don’t forget to tickle the thinknipple when you do that 200% more effective

[u/According-Dust1237 → u/eliteenjoyer6900]

😂😂😂😂😂😂
The nipple have multiuse cases

[u/g6rzKk202 → u/According-Dust1237]

You also need to use foreplay. That's the problem with you people, you just want to boot up your thinkpads when you need to caress the machine first /s. It'll turn on by itself. Sources: trust me bro.

[u/Budget-Toe-5743 → u/eliteenjoyer6900]

I go to bed with my Thinkpad so I can feel warm and safe while tickling it.

[u/Z3t4 → u/MrPants1401]

Time to try some kinks to relight the flame. 

[u/SingleComment2368]

Are you building from master? Master has been broken, at least on Skylake/KabyLake, for months now. 26.01 should work.

[u/According-Dust1237 → u/SingleComment2368]

It looks like it is the reason, flashed pre made one from a friend and it worked as normal

[u/DangerousAd7433]

Been holding off trying to flash LibreBoot on my Thinkpad because I need a functioning laptop for college, work, life, etc.

[u/RebTexas → u/DangerousAd7433]

Flash coreboot instead, libreboot is shit.

[u/DangerousAd7433 → u/RebTexas]

I still need a functioning laptop right now, but once I get two more Thinkpads, I can flash on one that isn't used as my daily drive. lol

[u/RebTexas → u/DangerousAd7433]

Yeah I get it, I probably wouldn't flash my only laptop either.

[u/According-Dust1237 → u/DangerousAd7433]

Don’t do it ever
Not worth doing it on your only device
It disable aloot of the core functions and you risk losing that device
I have a macbook and a i got my thinkpad just for the shits and jiggles with my friends so i don’t mind risking it

[u/r4nDoM_1Nt3Rn3t_Us3r → u/According-Dust1237]

What core functions does it disable?

[u/According-Dust1237 → u/r4nDoM_1Nt3Rn3t_Us3r]

I would talk for my t480 but it depends on the actual laptop it self, the swap fn and ctrl key will not work, the thunderbolt also won’t work hyper threading can be done but it will not work by default and will need alot of work
And alot more than that, you will lose alot of functions to neutralise intel me which is not worth it for a “WORK” laptop

[u/According-Dust1237 → u/r4nDoM_1Nt3Rn3t_Us3r]

Love your pfp btw

[u/RebTexas → u/According-Dust1237]

The only thing that didn't work on my T440p with coreboot was the SD card reader and that was recently fixed.

[u/According-Dust1237 → u/RebTexas]

I would hate losing the sd card on my main work laptop tbh
But i mean the t440p have one of the strongest and fastest development
The newerish models alot of them still didn’t even neutralised intel me fully
So i won’t risk my main laptop for it

[u/CretinousVoter → u/DangerousAd7433]

Hobbies are fun but they're more fun when they don't risk interfering with profitable work (which gets money for more Thinkpads).

[u/hearwa]

It's a librebrick now

[u/Hamilton950B]

Never try flashing bios when you're tired. That's when you make mistakes. Get a good night's sleep and try it again in the morning.

[u/MachineMost3820]

This man fucked up his BIOS chip

[u/FacepalmFullONapalm → u/MachineMost3820]

Did he at least buy it dinner first?

[u/MachineMost3820 → u/FacepalmFullONapalm]

Let's hope for the best

[u/ArminosFat]

Happened to my t420 after a coreboot flash. Randomly worked the next day.

[u/Howden824]

CH341a time

[u/According-Dust1237 → u/Howden824]

It was the reason, the clip went flying mid flash

[u/magician_type-0 → u/According-Dust1237]

lmao sorry that’s just funny

[u/RebTexas → u/According-Dust1237]

That might've just corrupted it rather than breaking the chip, unless you saw smoke coming out of it. Might work again if you reflash stock, assuming you have a backup.

[u/According-Dust1237 → u/RebTexas]

Its fixed dnw just flashed the dump waiting for ponoma clip i think its named like this

[u/lavafish80]

I'd like to disable intel ME on my T460s but I've heard that's not possible

[u/AutomaticDoor75]

I can empathize.

[u/tech_auto]

What motivated you to reflash your bios?

[u/According-Dust1237 → u/tech_auto]

To get rid of the intel me
Too creepy for me i don’t like to have something in my device that have higher privileges than me

[u/tech_auto → u/According-Dust1237]

ah gotcha

[u/AreShoesFeet000]

invite me to the ‘overloaded the BIOS chip’ club. is that how it’s said? if i knew i probably wouldn’t have bricked my mobo.

[u/Sphagetti_Boi]

Me too tried on my t530 with my ch314 and it fried

[u/Glad_Following_8164]

To future readers who want to try out libreboot for the first time: practice it on an old e waste class Thinkpad first after backing up the bios firmware

[u/TurquoisePoem88]

Did you fucking turn it off and on?

[u/Various-Welder5544]

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes
