Updating critical thunderbolt firmware update for my #thinkpad #t480.
@faizalr@mstdn.social
I hope that update is provided by LVFS and fwupd!
@inaction_figure@fosstodon.org Please explain, I do it from Lenovo Support.

I may have jumped to a conclusion. Is your T480 running MS Windows or GNU/Linux?
@inaction_figure@fosstodon.org Windows 10 at the moment.
@faizalr@mstdn.social
Gotcha. Those tools work for Windows users, but tend not to work for Linux. So LVFS is how those same updates get delivered to Linux computers, if the machine’s manufacturer provides them to LVFS.

To answer my own question, I went and checked, and LVFS does provide the updates you showed for the T480.
Anyhow, good job keeping your #T480 updated!
@inaction_figure@fosstodon.org Thank you for the explanation. Do you own a T480 as well? Or any Thinkpad?

My daily driver is a refurb #T480, running #Fedora #Kinoite F40.
The T480 is great value for money!
My previous laptop was a slow-but-sturdy T510, running KDE Neon.
@inaction_figure @faizalr fwupd works great on the T480, I’ve used it yesterday. Going to check if it’s working on an T14 Gen2 too.
