Installing and Experimenting with Tianocore Coreboot and UEFI (x220 & t440p) tripcode!Q/7 2021-01-22 | For the t440p this is kinda a part 1 video. I install tianocore and coreboot on a x220 and t440p thinkpads, Although the t440p is still partly dissassembled.Thanks to https://0xcb.dev/lenovo-t440p-coreboot/ for his tianocore t440p coreboot tutorial. His configuration posted works fine, and was the test configuration for the flashing back a working rom.I would use ME Cleaner as well, though, from the normal branch.For those more interested Mr. Chromebox is very knowledgeable about tianocore and coreboot. He manages a series of precompiled coreboot roms for chromebooks, and often answers questions on Reddit.

1080P! Terminal Video Editor that will run on ANYTHING! tripcode!Q/7 2020-02-01 | A bit of hyperbole, but I will try it on a pentium 2, for proof.I wrote 98% of this editor, it is really tailored for personal usage, but if you have any suggestions about how to improve it, I'm up for listening. A very up to date version of the code is here:http://tripcodeq7.xyz/downloads/ncurses-video-editor-nve_alpha.zipIf you have any information on codecs that would have better audio timing with copy codec, or any other suggestions I'm happy to hear :DSo far the lowest speced system I've used this on is a core 2 duo 1.2ghz.It is a bit buggy atm, but I should be developing it. Its mostly written in C++ and bash. I will update it as I make more videos, sorry about the audio blips, I am a bit tired. It works by making every frame a keyframe.I have been using this as my video editor for months now. I think this is one of the longest videos I made on it.
