Need help downgrading bios on X230
You can downgrade the X230 BIOS to version 2.60 from Windows using IVPrep.
- am i going crazy or is there no date and time setting
- What is the brightest highest resolution panel for X230? Anyone running 16GB RAM?
-
Replaced T430 Wifi card, awesome speed improvements!
If your Bios is above the vulnerable version, you need IVprep, this only works on Windows10 (or above), maybe using Freedos too, but no guide online I could find.

Does anyone have any 12MB Stock BIOS ROMs for an X230t?
Installed thinkpad-ec patch and coreboot (with skulls/ivyrain) on my x230t but I reverted back to the stock keyboard so I don't want thinkpad-ec anymore. I tried to flash back the stock bios to get rid of it with [this]( IVprep/X230t.FL1 at master · n4ru/IVprep · GitHub ) FL1 file converted to a ROM with dd, but flashrom says that my chip size doesn't match and is 12MB. I've looked online for a while and extracted an FL1 file from a Lenovo BIOS update but none I can find are 12MB. Does anyone have any links to one?

Returning to stock BIOS from SeaBIOS
I think that just pushes a UEFI capsule too, at least that is what this suggests.

T420 passive heatsink plate initial concept investigation test images. See comments and other post for more info. Information only; not engineering advice.
if you want to install https://github.com/lynxis/thinkpad-ec so that you can use a *20 keyboard and a *20 battery on *30 or if you want to prepare to that with https://github.com/n4ru/IVprep/ or if you want to install https://github.com/n4ru/1vyrain after that to gain more options in BIOS and/or be able to use non-Lenovo-approved Wi-Fi card - you don't need a hardware flasher; you don't need it for either of these 3 projects; all 3 use normal software flashing; I also understand all 3 are fairly safe to use; lots of people have used them and I haven't seen much complains

Firefox Rolls Out Total Cookie Protection By Default
There is a project of mine where I tried to script the changes, but its currently a mess and I dont think it works. Should take care of everything, downloading the file, applying the changes, and also creating the fitting profile and launching it.
-
How private is Arc Browser compared to my current Firefox setup?
I made a script (currently linux only but for native, snap and flatpak) to change a few settings and make it usable again.
-
Lightweight FF alternatives?
What do you mean by "lightweight"? You can use SimpleMenuWizard to reduce context menu entries, you can use Arkenfox or my adapted version to remove Pocket, Telemetry e.g. and make it a perfect privacy browser.
-
How have you configured your browsers
Look at this script, it automates the Download of Arkenfox user.js and applying of a few settings making it more user friendly while not really limiting usability.
-
Replaced T430 Wifi card, awesome speed improvements!
But using Firefox with the Arkenfox hardening (custom script I made, changing some minor usability settings and handling updates), it was reeally slow.
-
How you manage multiple Firefox profiles?
You can download my changes here, and Arkenfox here. What you do is, open your profiles folder (visible in about:profiles, link it somewhere where you can easily find it!) And copy the user.js in it (Firefox has to be closed during that). Take my additions and copy paste them to the top of the script. Now there will be double lines, search for them (Kwrite etc. support that) and deactivate the original line with //.
-
Does anyone use "Startpage" search engine? Any thoughts about it?
I use Firefox with the Arkenfox settings (you can change them to be less annoying) and this as the standard search engine
- They say Brave sucks due to privacy, so which browser instead?
- Firefox hardening: this addition to Arkenfox-user.js makes it usable for me! Be private easily!
What are some alternatives?
