Comparison: LILYGO T-Echo, T-Echo Plus. In case anyone was wondering. The Plus is much more bulky due to the massive battery (2500mAh) and it has a proper whip antenna now (I had to replace the stub on the legacy T-Echo.)

I got myself an USB tester to put an end to the cable mess. Now I can identify data or no data (D+/-)? Power or no power (VBUS)? USB-C power delivery or default (CC1/2)? Also good to check for broken cables (GND, Shield, etc.)

Upgraded the

I removed the proprietary BIOS from my new Thinkpad X220 and flashed
#coreboot
with SeaBIOS. I also neutralized the Intel Management Engine. Bonus: I had spare space on the firmware chip, so I also added Tetris and Doom which I can play now even without any operating system.
