Maybe said more directly, Qualcomm is a curse on OSS.

- blacklion 2y agoParts bought with Atheros are still OSS-freindly. What are Qualcomm other WiFi offers? I mean, for PC, not embedded into smartphone chips. Broadcom and Realtek is not better. Intel is not too great too (blobs in firmware, etc).
- yencabulator 2y agoBroadcom might be the worst. Firmware uploaded to a device CPU isn't really a problem as long as the blobs can be distributed, pretending that adding flash to every gadget to store the same blob makes a gadget better is just naive. I for one would prefer stateless peripherals.
