It seems to avoid the problem that Mozilla created with the non-commercial
licensing.
On the other hand it still uses the addons.mozilla.org website which
intermixes free and proprietary addons. It would not be suitable for
inclusion in Trisquel, or indeed any
Yes, and the best processor available (soldered on the mainboard, so not
replaceable) is the SP9600. The screen is LED and much better than the common
T400 screens. You'll also feel the difference in portability.

That is a cool machine! Does any T400s work with libreboot?
I never liked slim series, I still prefer brick-laptop. x200 and t420
supposed to be able to run fully free BIOS, the problem is, those must to run
neutralized Intel's ME. Which is still blob. If you doesn't run ME or
neutralized ME, those laptops will shut down after 30min of using.

Nice news from Romania!
I will think about an order for my job in July.
Always in mind that i not only ordering a free as in freedom laptop (i bought
my first free x200 in february from Tehnoetic) , but always an exceptional
service after the order.
Thank you Tehnoetic

Indeed, the X220 and T420 can't be used without the nonfree (smaller-sized or
not) ME blob in the coreboot ROM, and that's why these laptops are not
supported by libreboot.
We recommend using the term "minimized" instead of "neutralized" when talking
about ME, since the most important part
I'll do my very best to find one :-)

Technoethical laptops come with modern Bluetooth 4.0 (25 Mbps), which is 12
times faster than the Bluetooth 2.1 (2 Mbps) that was shipped by
I'm currently sifting through all the undocumented bits in the intel flash
descriptor, attempting to find a ME disable bit like we did on GM45 (X200,
T400, etc) when I worked with sgsit on porting the X200 to Libreboot.
Progress is going well.
I'm confident that it can be done, since
I have no problems with libreCMC myself. I'm using it on my Netgear WNDR3800
to power my network, and it works very well.
The only issue I've had with it so far is IPv6 support; the lead developer
didn't have IPv6 last time I spoke to them, so they were unable to test it.
Hi how I could import developper sigin key
thank you
Tiberiu, are you just using the standard Libreboot releases for this T400S
product?
There are a few features missing on T400S in Libreboot, which we have not yet
merged in Libreboot.

Are these patches present in your
Thanks :)
I'm currently working on porting the ThinkPad X220 to Libreboot, and I'm
using the T400 on Minifree to fund the work. Every purchase helps!
Hopefully these new low prices will also make the laptops affordable for
people living in poor countries (e.g. south america, parts of
coreboot people have been at this for years and all they've managed was to
remove some partitions to small down the ME blob.
What makes you sure the goal to completely removal ME from coreboot for X220
is achievable and what is your progress so far? We at Technoethical might be
able to
Hmm, a speculation. No noticeable heat problems with the T400s and we've been
using these laptops for some time now. But we can do comparative stress tests
with the T400, just to avoid any doubts.
LibreCMC developer working for ThinkPenguin was refusing proposals from the
community (on the now defunct mailing list librecmc-dev) to include targets
that were compatible with fully free systems and fully free boot firmware,
choosing instead to focus only on the routers ThinkPenguin had
The T400 is a great product. I baught one from a German vendor with no
operating system and installed Libreboot and Trisquel on it. Is the T400
avialable with different keyboard layouts, Vikings has German (QWERTZ) and
three different QWERTY layouts.
We usually ship UK keyboards by default, but where possible we do update the
keyboard layout. We usually have QWERTZ keyboards, which we regularly install
on laptops ordered by German customers. We also regularly have scandinavian
keyboards, for swedish/norwegian customers
Note that thinner isn't necessarily good for cooling; the T400S can get quite
a bit hotter than the T400, because the T400S has less physical space for
airflow. Being thinner also means that the heatsink is thinner and the fan
much smaller.
8GB RAM upgrade on Minifree laptops is possible,
It is free software by default at least which is more than I can say for
firefox... COUGH* EME *cough DRM! *COUGH!
debian and devuan which are not completely free software should at least
include it. oh well.
Hi everyone,
See:
https://libreboot.org/news/new-mailing-lists.html
We are currently seeking new developers for Libreboot. We now have a mailing
list for the project, in case anyone wants to get involved.

Forking LibreCMC wasn't and isn't one of the objectives of Technoethical.
Make your rules. Then,
iptables-save > /etc/iptables.conf (or wherever you feel like storing them.)
Add the following command in /etc/rc.local to reload the rules in every
reboot.
iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.conf (or wherever it was you put them.)
I'm currently working on porting the ThinkPad X220 and T420 to Libreboot,
which includes removing the ME entirely instead of just "neutralizing" it (or
minimizing it). Once achieved, it will be available on Minifree and we will
seek FSF RYF endorsement.
In addition, there are some AMD
Minifree's regular T400 is also available:
https://minifree.org/product/libreboot-t400/
The price is much lower than Technoethical's T400S and also has bluetooth
built in on most models: Minifree's T400 is 198 EUR, Technoethical's T400S is
778 EUR.
The actual thickness of the T400S is not
Thank you, you should hear GNUs from us soon regarding routers with fully
free systems and fully free boot firmware.
We were planning to launch routers two years ago, but LibreCMC configs were
missing for their supported targets and ThinkPenguin's "heavily modified"
u-boot sources were not
Leah, do you think that complete ME remove is possible?
@Vanecek Thank GNU!
