Wasn't that part of the anti-trust lawsuit?

That's interesting. I remember that back when you could buy a computer without an OS, it cost more than with Windows.

They had a lot of phones before Cyanogen Inc. They were the base Mod behind others (like Open Kang)

Once you rewrite once, the red line is broken. I think joelonsoftware has an article about that.

My problem is not the theory. That's easy to learn. My problem is implementation.

But the major hosts don't support it.

The difference is that to fly 787s you need quick response and muscle memory so all controls have to be available, and you've got to be able to fix errors in-flight. And even then you don't want to create a joystick which pulls u

Maybe if GitHub/GitLab allowed me, I'd do so. Even SVN, honestly.

Are they cheaper than the equivalent computers with Windows?

FreeDOS doesn't work on computers with UEFI

I would assume driver issues, which can be taken care of in ReactOS (which is meant to be a reversed-engineered windows kernel) but not in Wine (userspace)

Ahh, an OS which never had vendor lock-in, and had multiple independent vendors. That dream died with Windows.

I think another example was by joelonsoftware, where when MS moved to win 95, they actually ran popular software looking for bugs, and found the SimCity would use-after-free (which, before 95 wouldn't crash), so they modified their OS

Practically, what's the difference between this and Debian+LXDE/fvwm/icewm? Is it only eye-candy or more substantial advantages?

Well, what _do_ you think Broadcom gets out of this? And more importantly, what do I (as a RPi user) lose out?

>There's always a nice variety of them on xda-developers. I personally stay away from there. For root level access, I'd prefer relying on a project with actual reputation on the line, and has periodic spot checks.

ARM's SoC lack of standards. In reality, we were really spoiled with IBM's massive mistake in standardizing the PC (the BIOS), so while Linux may not pick up your monitor, your monitor is made to work to a basic standard (VGA), so

>China of course has IP laws, since they're a signatory to international conventions like the Berne Convention. Enforcement is quite another matter. Laws which are not enforced (and will not be enforced) aren't real laws.

Is it that China doesn't have IP laws, or is it that China is lax in enforcing IP laws? In other words, if Samsung will steal IP from a favorite "Chinese" company, will China says "fair is fair" or will it fine them

Also, will I have to re-reclean flash LineageOS over CM?

That's the point. You can't aquihire Linux. You can aquihire Linus, you can take his team, but any code you develop "in house" is going to have to go public anyways (because no one owns enough of the code).

tl;dr Cyanogen Inc failed, and is pivoting away from ROMs. What I don't get is why they won't just give up the CM name/domain? Are they pulling an OpenOffice?

>Didn't end up using most of CM's extra features and found that it was often unstable and/or leaving lots of things just sort of half-working. Privacy guard still beats whatever stock rom has.

The question is what will ensure the continual non-profitness of lineageOS? The problem is two fold: 1. Get maintainers. 2. Make sure that the high ranking individuals can't just "take the ball and go home", and (however unpo
