[darp8] Anyone try this FW update 42bf7a6 (2023-09-08)?
This reminds me a lot of FW update a8dd6c2, since rolled back, which came out about 4 months ago and caused problems with darp8 (e.g. https://github.com/system76/firmware-open/issues/469, https://www.reddit.com/r/System76/comments/1692nd2/darter_pro_fails_to_resume_after_fw_a8dd6c2/, https://www.reddit.com/r/System76/comments/168oehz/new_coreboot_update/)

Is there a way to find the "sweet spot" for fans when running the custom firmware?
I suspect that my current settings are still "overkill", so I'm wondering if there's a nice way (in the absence of https://github.com/system76/firmware-open/pull/365 being merged!) to find out what the minimum speed is I can get away with without my laptop spontaneously combusting? :D

System76 support says my HDMI issue is normal and won't fix my warrantied laptop. Is this real?!!
There is an issue about this: https://github.com/system76/firmware-open/issues/407 They closed it (because there was an update), but yeah it's definitely not fixed. You can subscribe to this issue to see what's going on, but do not get your hopes high - they will rarely, if ever, update the issue.

Excessive fan noise when on any power mode except "Battery Life"
There isn't a way without flashing the firmware at least once, but there is this PR instead which exposes userspace fan controls, which might work with some of the fan control software in Linux.

BIOS has fake (default) serial number
Issue opened: https://github.com/system76/firmware-open/issues/432
- System76 laptops with Intel 10th-13th gen has now a Coreboot bios with management engine cleaner. Is there any other brand offering the same?
-
Any update on framework 16?
What Framework can't offer is Coreboot with Management Engine Cleaner and other great specs. System76 just announced a new fully open source bios for their intel 10th - 13 th gen models: https://github.com/system76/firmware-open/blob/77abfadf24c9a0c45ae042cd71d3ce7be26c846e/FEATURES.md

Flashing firmware on oryp10
Hi! I check the firmware-open repository from time to time and noticed that since the initial release a few potentially interesting things have been committed (e.g. Disable ME by default on everything but TGL-U or Support for NVIDIA Dynamic Boost ). Should I wait for the "official" update to show up in firmware-manager? These changes seem to have been released quite some time ago, but there is no trace of them in the GUI. I am inclined to build and flash it myself. I've flashed my ec in the past, but I don't want to set the versions of ec and firmware-open too far apart. What's the policy here? There is this warning here about "normal" users who should not do this themselves. Perhaps I am not normal :-/

- New System Firmware is available on System76's GitHub, but I still don't have a System Firmware update button inside Pop_OS!

Framework's software and firmware have been a mess, but it's working on them
I think the SD module won't be able to have the card flush, as the modules are only and SD cards are 32mm long, and you need some PCB space for the socket cage and the USB-C on the other side. The retrofit PCB outline they provide is only 26.9mm from front edge to back edge, so an SD card will stick out a little bit.
So perhaps they decided to go for the one that lets users have the card flush for use like an expansion bay as well as for data transfer to/from devices.

Microsoft starts testing ads in the Windows 11 Start menu
There are many laptops and desktops that fit the bill.

System76: https://system76.com/laptops

I am sure there are more, this is only what I have found in less than 5 minutes of searching.

The Gazelle Laptops are the biggest POS
I'll buy a frame.work long before I touch system76. Their prices are too high for the general feedback I keep seeing on the quality control. I'm not spending 3k+ to be out a laptop until support responds. Especially, considering they still don't make these in house..

That feeling when you are unboxing a flagship keyboard from a major brand in 2023 and find out it uses micro-USB #smh
No they didn't, companies just mostly gave up on it.

A Framework Laptop (https://frame.work)
- Is there anything out there that has changed, FOR THE BETTER?

1080p 7840U laptop
You could get a Framework 13 which comes with your choice of a 7840U or 7640U and a Radeon 780M iGPU. They do officially support Linux, and you don't have to pay for a Windows license, if you go the DIY option and chose to not get a Windows license.

ELI5: What makes a consumer laptop in 2023 better than one in 2018?
Take a look at the Framework laptops. They're 100% modular so if stuff like that goes bad you can simply order the replacement part and do it yourself. I'm using a desktop right now but Ithink my next laptop is gonna be a framework.

Conflicting information from Framework on my preorder
a couple of days ago I tried to order a Framework laptop (13 inch AMD). I chose to create an account during the checkout process and provided my email address. After entering my shipping details, I authorized the transfer of the deposit fee via Giropay. The deposit was deducted from my bank account but when I was sent back to the frame.work website I was greeted by an error message. Unfortunately I could neither complete the checkout process nor continue my account registration.
