Does anyone know how Snow Leopard handles Bluetooth 4.0?

I have a mix of 2011 and 2012 parts for the Macbook Pro from that era. In fact, with a few extra parts and some elbow grease I can setup 3 working Macs and I wonder if anyone has upgraded their Snow Leopard compatible model with the newer Bluetooth 4.0 module from the later revisions.

Automatic light/dark styling

Even though light and dark styling has been well established for years and up to date GTK 3 work just fine with other GTK 4 and Libadwaita based programs, manually cycling works flawlessly, why not add automatic cycling option baked into GS? It already has Night Light automatic cycling and filter depth adjustment.

Night Theme Switcher is an extension I've been using for years and years and as features come along, get baked into GS itself, the extension has cut back on duplicate functionality, it's literally an automatic light/dark style switcher now, in a very similar layout to Night Light settings.

I'm not mad, just curious.

Also, since Extension Manager is around and well developed, does anyone use the baked in Extensions app? I throw it into the folder of packages I can't remove and never use.

Did GS 50 remove log out option?

I'm using EndeavourOS on my two devices, my desktop which has been down for a few days for maintenance and a very recently restored 15 year old laptop. Clean install on the latter already came with GNOME Shell 50 and I only now noticed no entry for logging out of the session in the power off section of the quick settings menu.

Edit: Just found out I'm not the only one. Here's the fix.

Any specific kernels better optimized for older hardware?

I have a 15 year old Sandy Bridge i5 based laptop with the integrated Intel HD 3000 graphics. I'm using EndeavourOS to great success, no bugs or quirky behaviors from running on such an old device with the standard mainline kernel. However, it would be great to know if a forked kernel is around to better handle these old components, squeeze a little more stability or performance out of them.

As is I'm surprised I can do most web browsing at ease aside from having too many tabs open which is to be expected from a dual core laptop CPU. I'm a Wayland session only user and GNOME Shell runs well, animations aren't as smooth as I was expecting, I've been restoring this device for the last 5 years and back then software ran slightly better if I recall correctly.

Ninjabatt battery for A1278 MBP?

Anyone have experience with the non pro Ninjabatt battery? Bugs? Battery life? Long term?

I wanted to get a Pro one but none is available.
