So which one do you run now?

Dude!  I've been wondering how to control the charging of the battery on my
ThinkPad since I bought it, and less than 24 hours after signing up to this
list I find out (TLP).  Thanks very much!

Can you tell me how TLP doesn't work?  I just installed it yesterday with a
4.9 kernel and I haven't gotten any error messages yet, though I haven't
tried anything.

Thanks for the invitation!

I'm pretty nervous around people so I don't know if I'll go.
