"We never received a quote for the actual porting, but they said the evaluation cost is typically 10% of the total cost, which would mean the porting would have cost around $33,000 for Dasharo-branded coreboot, and $66,000 for unbranded coreboot. Even their highly discounted Dasharo-branded porting comes out to around $250 to $330 an hour, and that’s if they started from scratch. We had 80%+ of the job already complete. We just needed to debug our code."
How can you be champion of open source if you employ such practices? Double the cost?
While it is definitely a legitimate issue. The recent anti Telegram rhetoric i see here on hacker news and other places seem to pretend that everything listed does not happen on all the other big tech platforms. Pretending it is any harder to achieve the same results
The fact that *insert American tech company * is still allowed to run amok when the *insert 3 letter agency* has their hands all over it and openly flaunts it is the greatest irony and crime here
Thank you! As a musician I often complain about having to dual boot to get access to all the really good plugins. Mostly due to me not knowing where to find decent enough plugins without having to rely on hacky workarounds using wine
So true, most western media are tainted with bias towards propoganda of western governments. Aljazeera is the first station I've seen that has really shed a light on what happens in the middle East
I'm from the Caribbean and I find I learn a lot more about what's happening in the world. For years I've watched BBC and CNN international and found them way too biased to from a properly unbiased view about most stories.
I'd love to get into machine learning but for someone who is self taught and never went to college I am yet to find a resource that gracefully introduces math topics needed
I personally like keeping my root partition to a minimal and ever since docker came into the picture I keep running into spacing issues. So the allure for me to switch isn't technical but for peace of mind storing images in userspace
A fun thought experiment would be figuring how to achieve something similar using eBPF to get better control at the kernel level
