1) the switch point is set that *you cannot tell when we turn the

it off, you couldn't never have told whether

Good Morning All,
In installing openvpn I didn’t see a client.conf file. I want my XS to connect

I have my vpn keys and in trying to create the client.conf file I received

i'm afraid the necessary firmware didn't make the deadline for os12,

This is a maintenance release for the C1 build, focusing on support for
Linux suspend/resume testing, but also including:
- new EC firmware which shortens the duration of the LED blinks for the
light sensor,
- fixes for save-mfg-data and
The Saturday night fever build, where audio seems to work at last,
clocks make sense again, and we have some power mgmt improvements.
