[PLUG] Patch your Thinkpads

[Martin Cracauer via plug <plug@lists.phillylinux.org>]

100 Thinkpad models affected and updated:
https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2022/04/bugs-in-100-lenovo-models-fixed-to-prevent-unremovable-infections/

Going through my Thinkpads I see that the P50 has no update, and my
4th gen X1 carbon has a BIOS date from Feb 2022.  No indication
whether that includes this round of fixes :-/ The older ones I didn't
try yet.  No release notes anywhere.

On the bright side, they provide a BIOS update utility for Linux.
Whether that is safe to run is a different matter.  They also have
bootable CDs, might be a better option.
