(Not as scary as I look, I promise)
Messing around with GNOME firmware for the first time . . . next to where is says “Attestation: Not OK” if I hit the “Store” button it asks if I want to update the cryptographic hash (“record current device cryptographic hases as verified”–how do I update it?
EDIT: Hmm, not exactly user friendly, is it?
Any particular reason? I remember having quite a bit of trouble downloading/installing BIOS updates from the Lenovo website, but it’s been a long time since I tried . . .
Fork won’t let me edit the folder paths, so it looks like I’ll have to start all over again, which is annoying but not the end of the world. Guess I’ll be setting FDroid to not update apps automatically, but even so I probably would not have noticed (or understood) the change in the release notes.
It’s F-Droid!
If I’m on Graphene, l guess this shouldn’t be a problem (it hasn’t so far).

Thank you, just what I was looking for 🙂👍
I changed my user agent string to following and problem went away.
Thank you 👍
I was sort of under the impression that tlp was an “install it and leave it if you want” type of thing, but that you could tweak it more to your liking if needed. 🤷♂️ Well, in any event it didn’t work for me in either case!
Thanks for the suggestions; I might give auto-cpufreq another shot first just because I’ve used it in the past on another machine, but if that doesn’t work, I will definitely take a look at tuned. 👍 Will try to remember to report back with the results, though it may take a while.
I’ve got “Play DRM-controlled content” active . . .
I think it’s already enabled, AFAICT.
Especially if I insist on watching them in high definition? Yeah, probably doesn’t help!
No, nothing like that, fortunately; as long as I have power-profiles-daemon installed, it runs fine.
Not sure what the hdparm commands are supposed to do . . . ?
Yeah, my brightness level is usually set kind of low; like right now it’s 20%(!), which is actually how I like it. The keyboard backlight is at 100%, and I kind of need it to be that way because of the state of my vision. The screen dims to 5% after 5 minutes. My stopwatch applet tells me now that I didn’t even make it to 3 hours! 🙁
A bad habit, but I often end up watching videos in my browser, LibreWolf, while I’m working, and I’m sure that probably adds to the power drain rather significantly.

Hello, and thank you for the new release. I have a question about the power-profiles – how and when are they applied? Here is why I ask. I have custom settings – set by tlp and by scripts – and I don’t want Cinnamon to override those settings. Thanks.

Hi JL,
They’re applied by power-profiles-daemon. Note that Cinnamon supports it as a feature but doesn’t depend on it. If you’re using TLP you can remove power-profiles-daemon for it not to interfere. The profiles will just then disappear in the Cinnamon Power Settings and power applet.

Now my only question is, which is better, tlp or power-profiles-daemon? Guess I’ll have to run some tests.
Oh yeah, and what about auto-cpufreq?
Ok, I think what we’re supposed to do now is this: Go to the Update Manager>Edit>Software Sources>Maintenance and either “Remove foreign packages” or “downgrade foreign packages.” I think this’s been there for a while now, just never used it before.
It would be nice if Leta had tabs for images, videos, etc.
