    Do you want low-power setting only on a battery?

    Yes, that’s what I’m aiming for. I’ve got a thinkpad x1 carbon 10th gen which is known for its not-so-great battery life, and so I’m trying to use the low-power setting for battery-only to see if that helps. If that doesn’t work I might try auto-cpufreq (do you know anything about that?) In any event, thanks very much for your response, I’ll create the .conf file and see if it works. 🙂👍

    I’m on Linux Mint Cinnamon 21.2; power-profiles-daemon does not seem to be installed on my system 🤔. Typing cat /sys/firmware/acpi/platform_profile in the terminal comes up as “low-power”, which is what I switched it to from “balanced” by hitting Fn+l. How do I get this setting to survive reboot? Do I uncomment “#PLATFORM_PROFILE_ON_BAT=low-power” or is there another way?















  • One thing I’m not happy about, when I upgraded, was that to keep the email templates option from my earlier plan, I had to sign up for a much more expensive plan than what I had already. I don’t get bad vibes from Tuta, but I do feel that they are a relatively small company that doesn’t always think things through all the way.

    EDIT: also, despite having upgraded and paid, it won’t let me register an @tuta.com address. 🙁

    EDIT EDIT: Ok, now it did, but it took quite a while before I was able to do it.

    EDIT³: Ok, well, so now I’m paying nearly three times as much as I was before (going from the “Business: Teams” plan to “Business: Unlimited” plan), just so I could keep using their email templates option. Had I paid a bit closer attention, I would not have upgraded just because I thought it would be cool to have a tuta.com address (or is it an alias?), although I’m assuming that they would have eventually switched me over anyway. I keep a very light inbox and so now I seem to be paying for a lot of features that I won’t be using. I’ll be sticking with them because it’s what I’m used to, but I’m not terribly happy with how things ended up as you can probably imagine.
