vivo X200T Makes A Surprise Appearance; Minor Updates To X200 #mobilephones #vivo #x200t

Booted into an MX Linux boot USB to flash a slightly different version of #Libreboot onto my #X200t.

I switched from the framebuffer version to the text mode version.
Now the boot screen is a little less pretty (there was no real graphics before, just high-quality, small text), but there's no weird blue lines while #OpenBSD boots up.

Good night!

Also, I couldn't help but finish She-Hulk tonight. Fun finale, quite meta. Pretty low on actual stress and danger, which I'm seriously liking.

Wow, that's a darn decent suspend!!! (#X200t, #libreboot, #OpenBSD 7.2)

Very nice! #alacritty terminal emulater now runs on many older GPUs as well and I can use it on my #thinkpad #x200t !

There was a workaround for using it with software rendering before, but I had never gotten around to incorporating that into my configs. but https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/commit/1880522b64d9a5276acea428705c011cbbf8c04c added rendering support for older #OpenGL versions.

So everybody: install alacritty v 0.11 on your #oldThinkpad

🎉🎉🎉

Is this the right replacement fan for the X200T?
