Bin mal wieder an überlegen, ob ich auf mein altes #Lenovo #ThinkPad #T420 #libreboot drauf packe. Warum? Weil's geht... wäre auch mal wieder ein wenig interessante Bastelei. Muss mal schauen, ob ich das wirklich mal mache, schließlich muss man dafür das ganze Notebook zerlegen, um an das BIOS ran zu kommen.

Some success on the #Lenovo #T420 ... Ubuntu 20.04 installed and (shock) managed to boot from the hard drive afterwards. I guess there's a few months of support if it doesn't update successfully to a later version ... Probably adequate for what I need. For what it's with this machine previously this machine had RHEL8 install on it.
I'll keep positive and say that tomorrow I'll hopefully get something more productive done on this system ... (although I need k3s and that's not in the 20.04 repos)

@stdevel @FrOSCon @c3voc Habe mir die Konserve auf media.ccc angesehen. Das war ein wirklich sehr interessanter Vortrag, ein Füllhorn an Informationen sehr kurzweilig präsentiert. Vielen Dank dafür!
Beruflich habe ich selbst noch ein T420 als "Zweitgerät". Die Batterie ist schon reichlich abgerockt, aber ich möchte es einfach nicht hergeben.

ai linuxari di #Mastodon chiedo un consiglio per il mio #thinkpad T420. Attualmente lavora con tre dischi, di cui uno per la home. Volevo passare a una capienza superiore, meglio una tecnologia vecchia come quella meccanica o puntare invece su un SSD? Volevo prenderlo tipo da 2-4TB. #linux #thinkpad #t420 #computer #informatica
Finally opened up my T420 and found the cause to the thermal problem.
It went above 90 ℃ on load, now down to 70. Idle 45. 32 nm Sandy Bridge 35 W TPU.

Hackaday · Building An Open Source ThinkPad BatteryIf you own a laptop that’s got a few years on the clock, you’ve probably contemplated getting a replacement battery for it. Which means you also know how much legitimate OEM packs cost …
Today I am going to reflash the firmware on my T420 to make it usable again. And maybe I'll tinker aroubd with some OS stuff too (maybe try out Gentoo or a BSD?).
So lots of tinkering fun coming up :)
