One reason i was told for them getting Moblin going originally was that Microsoft was unwilling to provide Windows support for a x86 chip without PCI device enumeration. Intel had removed that from their more mobile oriented Atom to save on overall battery drain.
I am not quite sure why Intel and Nokia partnered up, but Moblin1 had a fair bit of overlap with Maemo at the time (Both Debian based etc). By the time Meego had been formed Intel had moved to a RPM base for Moblin2 however. And things seems to have gone wonky from that point on.
Really hope not, as the last thing the world needs is another locked up portable media player with a mobile network connection.
I had high hopes for Around 3.x/4.0, but since then Google has bent over backwards to placate big media while trying to pass the changes off as security improvements.
I was recently corrected on the connection between Meego and Tizen. Apparently Meego was abandoned fully upon the foundation of Tizen, and the only connection between the two was that Intel was involved with both (tough they seem to have since pulled out of Tizen).
In essence the only remnant of Maemo/Meego is Sailfish, the continuation of Mer.
Yeah, except it started as a init. And the init binary is still called systemd. End result is that there is a logical confusion between systemd the init and systemd the project. A confusion that the proponents don't make any effort to clean up, and sometimes appear to even leverage as a cheap way to make opponents look bad.
But then the script backs away. Systemd comes with a massive warning that any changes done outside of systemd's toolchain will be overwritten by systemd. Meaning that once systemd has assumed control over your firewall, do not for one second attempt to adjust iptables directly.
The/8 part may be a stretch, but it would not surprise me if they run the nation on the 10.x.x.x range (or at least the public facing stuff).
they can still nest the B and C ranges inside that, and you have to know your stuff to reach the outside world via smuggled in equipment. And such attempts probably sticks out like a sore thumb to the uniforms operating the national firewall.
The storage management on 4.4 is a mess, and 5.0 fixes "most" of it. Thought still wish i could give the mediascanner database and the storage access framework the middle finger, as it fixes none of the issues Google claims it fixes...
Echo that. I keep noticing "lifestyle ads" that indicate that to be "a proper person" you should spend half your day at some food market talking to the sellers about the aspects of the perfect head of lettuce etc, then the rest of it cooking up a late evening meal for your friends. Its like work don't exist.
But then it also seems like various upper class people have kids these days to show off how much free time they have to spend with them...
Also, "work" seems to involve hammering numbers into random spreadsheets and chatting up clients via phone calls. something that can be done anywhere with a power outlet and a cell signal.
I guess it could be considered the modern equivalent of the Victorian gentleman ideal of "retire with competence". Meaning the ownership of properties, stocks, or interest on savings, that has enough profits to cover lifestyle expenses.
If only. The whole concept hinges on there being mental tasks that only a human brain can perform.
Except that even the lower rungs of those are now being automated. Things like the task of sorting through the reams of paperwork that is the building block of a lawsuit. Normally a task of a near army of paralegals. These days you can get a computer to do it.
That was perhaps the Statute of Anne take. But the version we have now globally is that merged with the French "rights of the author". This is where the whole life+X comes from, as the French worried about the authors social rights. That is, the right to control in what context ones creation is used. Don't want your play or similar be associated with a certain dictator, deny anyone that want to use it in his honor. Never mind that those laws came into being when you were lucky to live past 40 with your health intact.

Apple would perhaps grok it, if they where at all interested in corporate IT. But they are a fashion boutique sidelining in IT.
Google and MS are software houses, as such they need the version churn to stay afloat.
Frankly the pure software house it a pox on the IT world.
That both the pid1 binary and that overall project is called systemd may be fueling the 4th point.
The Tizen article on Wikipedia holds a few graphs...

I got the impression that the idea of only having a single cgroup manager has since been reversed.
but it require that a very specific process runs as pid1...
Not yet, but it will take over tty duties soon.
Systemd has long since surpassed launchd in terms of "features"...
Or they have taken Nixon's mad man thesis to the logical endpoint...
Also likely makes it that much harder to use smuggled in hardware to reach the outside world.

Complete with giving said mules a one time code over the phone before the cash comes out.
This way they don't get any fancy ideas.
Was not one reason why mainframes was so highly valued that one could hotswap virtually anything without interrupting workflow?
USB has slightly longer contacts on the power pins for much the same reason.

And therein lies the rub. We are no indoctrinated into the whole "for pay" mentality that we can't see the walls of the cell...
