You know, I’m pretty sure that Amazon has enouuh profit margins to pay their employees fair wages if they wanted too, even without your purchases

Damn buying a “Fuck Trump” shirt while indirectly financing the guy is next level irony and peak capitalism

The length of the wire is actually more an issue of capacitance and interferences. But these issues are easily mitigated by reducing the spi speed

This has some “yes do as I say” vibes

Hmm, I’m not sure… I must admit, I only use SeaBIOS, not GRUB, so I wouldn’t know how to configure it

Yeah, that’s basically right. I believe flashprog is also included in libreboot, have a look in the elf/ directory. After that, it should work as expected

Oh you can still do that. The path changed to elf/cbfstool/[TREE]/cbfstool (replace [TREE] with the tree concerened). Note that since the switch to the libre RAM init code, mrc.bin is not included anymore

I’m not sure what you mean by “checking the ROM”…

They’ve been pretty tame lately, but there have been issues historically that made a lot of people (rightfully) mad. You ca read on them here: https://manjarno.pages.dev/

That was a fantastic read. Highly recommend (despite old site)

realistic yet fantastical

So which is it then ?

I don’t know what the problem is. I’m trying to rule things out one after the other.

Maybe try using systemd-boot instead of GRUB?

There are a few ways to investigate, but for that we would need a bit more info. Firstly, what distro do you use ? Try using a different bootloader than GRUB to see if it solves the issue. Otherwise you could also try to use Linux’s UEFI stub.

A project is in no way, shape, or form obliged to to accept and maintain your code, especially if it’s not a feature they want. If you want your feature so badly, maintain a soft-fork yourself. Don’t want to put in that effort yourself? Then why should the project maintainers?

I mean… Depends what you mean by 100% free firmware… If you mean only the boot firmware, that’s the case for PCs like the ThinkPads T400, T500, R500, W500, X200, as well as the Dell Latitude E6400. Note Libreboot even recommends the latter for new full libre buys, as it can be software-flashed without disassembly.

But if you mean 100% free including EC firmware, wireless firmware, and disk firmware, then this will probably never happen, or at least not until a very very long time.

Yes, do as I say

But then again, is it Linux’ fault that publishers refuse to make Linux versions of their games, requiring the users to use hacks to make windows executables work on Linux ?

He says, while using a command that brings a little convenience at the price of control and security…

Maybe the skull is shrieking and will shock your soul. One thing’s for sure tho, it will seal your doom tonight

It does not work in vi. The + and * register were a vim invention (tested in vim compatibility mode and busybox vi)
