Hey, Intel. You were selling faulty CPUs for 15+ years, you are still selling faulty CPUs, and there are no signs you even intend to fix them. You sold faulty CPUs for half a year, knowing they are faulty, without telling you customers. You helped develop band-aids for subset of problems, and subset of configurations. Yeah, so there's work around ( Read more... )

I did some talking in 2017. If you want to learn about postmarketOS (in Czech), there's recording at https://www.superlectures.com/openalt2017/telefonni-revoluce-se-blizi . ELCE talk about status of phone cameras is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fH6zuK2OOVU .

For a long time, I wanted a phone that runs Unix. And I got that, first Android, second Maemo on Nokia N900. With Android I realized that running Linux kernel is not enough.

Is someone using notebook as an alarm clock? Yes, it would be easy if I did not suspend machine overnight, but that would waste power and produce noise from fans. I'd like version that suspends the machine...

Nice machine. Slightly bigger than X60, bezel around display way too big, but quite powerful. Biggest problem seems to be that it does not accept 9.5mm high drives ( Read more... )

http://www.cio.com/article/3141918/linux/linux-has-won-microsoft-joins-the-linux-foundation.html Yes, Linux won on servers. Unfortunately... servers are not that important, and Linux still did not win on desktops (and is not much closer now than it was in 1998, AFAICT).
