“Obligatory fuck the HDMI forum and the HDMI spec”

Amen to that

Even assuming they did make development decisions to benefit advertising partners, how on earth would choosing not to optimize performance actually benefit them?

And Mandriva itself was an attempted resurrection of the old Mandrake distribution (which was sorta the Ubuntu of its day). Really hoping OpenMandriva manages to make a go of it considering the ringer those folks have been through.

…what?

A busted kernel module/driver/plug-in/whatever that triggers a bootloop is going to require intervention on any platform no matter whether the code happens to be published somewhere out on the internet or not. On top of that, Windows allows you to control/remove 3rd party kernel drivers just like on Linux, which is exactly what many of us have been stuck doing on endless devices for the last three days.

I fully advocate for open-source software and use it where I can, but I also think we should do that by talking about its actual advantages instead of just making up nonsense that will make experienced sysadmins spit out their coffee.

Google’s dream of hijacking an open standard (on Android at least) is achieved :/

Unless your server was running Crowdstrike and also hosted in a time machine, yes it is.

Huh? Crowdstrike is an antivirus product, you’re only affected if you bought and installed it on your Windows devices. Crowdstrike also had issues with their Linux version a few weeks ago, but that one was thankfully less severe.

Only if they manage Crowdstrike systems, thankfully.

I believe they actually adopted it for their Tizen OS, unless I completely invented that memory.

Now I miss my Nokia N9 :(

Google unfortunately locks down the RCS api’s in Android so that only the system messaging app (basically just Google Messages these days) can use them, so I don’t think any independent messaging apps can integrate RCS at all :/

That’s what it sounds like to me, but it’s a bit unclear admittedly.

Do they (or whatever’s left of them) have a license to x86_64, or is it just x86?

Is MIPS still around? I know it was used a lot in embedded stuff but last I heard they were shutting down development of new MIPS chips.

Unfortunately I haven’t run across any either :/ Handwriting detection for even a single language/script can be very complicated to implement so I understand why it’s rare in open-source keyboard options, but I’ll keep an eye out just in case I find one.

Looks like a great set of updates!

As long as they can get away with it

Are you implying they list…less than four reasons?

“Wayland” doesn’t support any GPU’s, it’s the job of each GPU driver to support Wayland (and Nvidia’s now does).

Hopefully this will make it in as an update for currently supported kernels, but if not it should be in the upcoming 6.8 release:
