just like it took them ~2 years for mipi camera, all because of closed source blob and Broadcom hostility. Instead of releasing simple shim drivers for MIPI ports they insist on keeping everything in the binary blob and tying users to their branded camera module (thankfully Chinese took care of that and you can buy 'counterfeit' at 2/3 the price), and now to their branded screen (which no doubt will be 2x the price of generic mipi screen on ebay)
mipi dsi, you can get mipi screens for $5 on ebay there are and wont be ANY open drivers for rPI, just like there are no open drivers for the mipi camera, mipi port is on the embedded 'proprietary' side of BCM chip and broadcom is HOSTILE against anyone wanting to touch their magic closed source firmware blob.
While it is rather underhanded, had FTDI done this the *correct* way and just interrogated the chip and refused to work with a fake, this would be a non-story.
they did for the last 4? 5 years? and it was a non story because fake chips were shipped with hacked or older driver and worked while still claiming to be FTDI
and here we have very first attack of BadUsb. Computer malware infecting and destroying USB connected peripherals, possible because USB device had no firmware signing/authentication and was build to let anyone update it.
you get >100W power consumption when IDLE because they couldnt figure out a way to boot it fast enough for the user to not notice that his dash display doesnt work right away after entering the vehicle.
Poettering thinks he is being singled out, but can you name another dev hated by a community? I can - Miguel de Icaza. Icaza advocated for broken closed OOXML, used Gnome to force MONO dependency (rings any bells?) and trolled whole community endorsing OSX over Linux desktop. Poettering is the next Miguel de Icaza. He not only learned from Icaza how to fuck with people, he took it to the next level. Why settle with gnome dependency when you can take over vital subsystems and use your political power to make them the new default.
Mark my words - systemd-kernel is comming. Poettering dreams at night of being the next Linus, he is jealous and cant stand the fact people love Linus.
When bookface enacts next policy change - kill all babies under 1 year old - you will be the first to scream racism when someone reports all the ginger babies he can find.
CM is working hard to remedy this. They started with photo app just after incorporating - they demanded full rights to the code so they could close it to gain 'competitive advantage' or some bullshit
Intel managed to spend $2B on bribes^^^^'direct incentives to use Atoms and other low power parts' in first half of this year alone. Intel is giving out Atom&chipset combo at $5 in china (while comparable Arm SoCs start at $4) just to get ANY footing in that market.
I cant wait for some Chinese antitrust case against Intel (like the AMD one). After all this is Intels direct attack on Chinese Soc manufactures.
This idea that multitasking and short attention spans have a negative impact on cognition is not new. It goes back at least to Nicholas Carr's 2008 magazine article

driver is "testing" eeprom, fake chips fail the test

they work hard to make them for every platform
to make them closed source

Feedback was about NEGATIVE experience with the METRO, NOBODY wanted more of that shit. .....
Thanks M$
I don't think it's a real problem
it was, Tesla used to burn 3KW per night, they fixed it

Its all about that sweet sweet binary compatibility ... with windows 3.11
usb is broken in silicon, there is a problem with resource sharing on internal busses
You mean modern toys in vintage Braun cases?

The president can fire the head honchos at NSA and put Ron Paul or even somebody sane in charge if he wanted to.
Yes, its not like NSA has means to find dirt on people they dont like

SO if all it is is basically an ini hack, and it works flawlessly, what would be a reason that the developer would not have it enabled by default?
because they asked bookface for a Shitload of monies for the promotion of occulus, and bookface said screw you
how about 870M being BETTER in almost EVERY single parameter than 970M?

You fail at logic.

Isn't Cyanomod open source?

I'm more concerned that Facebook didn't have a process in place to monitor for OBVIOUS abuses.
what abuses? guy was reporting accounts VIOLATING OFFICIAL POLICY
lets hope for derelict spaceship
but its probably just ice floating in liquid methane :(
