@ajmartinez After the dkms install it automatically loaded for me. Very odd. While I am using the very latest EC firmware on this, I doubt that's the reason.
@ajmartinez I think that's the kernel I used. The complaints I saw were warnings about it not being built for older kernels.
For any other Librem 14 users running Qubes, I was able to install the librem-ec-acpi-dkms package in Qubes dom0, which lets you have more control over the embedded controller including setting charge thresholds. I documented my steps here: https://source.puri.sm/-/snippets/1170
Guns of August (which you should read if you haven't) describes how quickly one event cascaded into a world war. Take that, combine with flash crashes from AI-controlled high frequency trading, and you have my main worry w/ autonomous weapons: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/07/07/ai-weapons-us-military/
@twrightsman @ajmartinez I haven't tested with hubs yet, but I imagine if you are seeing that it could be a function of the extra power draw of that particular hub. We are tuning power thresholds in the firmware at the moment to account for some of the reports we've gotten in the field so stay tuned.

@ajmartinez I shaved with a straight razor (Dovo Shavette) the last few months when I had my beard and really liked it, but last time I used it long-term on my full face I had a few... mishaps... on my chin that made me opt for more safety over risking a scar.
I'd actually recommend this for someone new to safety razors. The mild setting on the head combined with being weighted opposite most razors (bottom of handle instead of head) means it's a lot easier to use minimal pressure and let the blade (and vibration) do the work.
Verdict: more of a mild skirmish than a bloodbath. Similar # of nicks as any time I use a brand new blade and fewer than I normally get when trying a new razor. Close, comfortable shave. Actually pleased with the results and looking forward to the next shave.
I admit I'm a little nervous moving a vibrating razor blade across my face. I'll shave with it tomorrow morning and report back on whether it was a close, comfortable shave or a bloodbath.
