And security issues. The downside of folks wanting to write software for your platform is that not all of it is good for the user.

Tip: there's much, much less fuss if you not it preinstalled, with support.

I'd thought it was just sysupgrade, but it looks like it's more: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/installation/attended.sy... Interesting.

I ran into this after considering upgrading my hardware (WRT3200ACM and friends can't upgrade past 22.0.2 due to a "broken mv88e6176 switch." https://openwrt.org/releases/22.03/notes-22.03.3#mvebubro

There was a breaking change to the switch config several versions ago: "There is no migration path for targets that switched from swconfig to DSA. In that case, sysupgrade will refuse to proceed with an appropriate error message"

Yep. I wanted to say it was F-Secure SSH, but the timeline on Wikipedia doesn't quite match. The development of SSH and the history of Data Fellows/F-Secure kinda line up, though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x2F

Other than Office, sure? (Office is has long been one of their main cash cows. Is part of why they wanted to keep it on Mac, which is pointedly not Windows). It's also irrelevant. The point was that they used the pricing of Windows (wh

All vendors use an ODM. That doesn't mean that buying from the ODM directly will get you the same experience as buying from them. The vendor cam work with the ODM to customize hardware and firmware, so "rebadge" is a really

I don't think most enthusiasts actually believe slapping Linux on any random piece of Windows hardware will Just Work 100%. Maybe 90%, but there are lots of edge cases. Modern hardware is extremely complicated, and there will be lots

Because you claimed something that contradicts the article. Do you have a source for what firmware updates can be applied on this model with fwipd?

can you call Dell and Lenovo and expect support as a Linux user? Or do you still have to put Windows back on before they give you the time of day?

That's fair. Also, not everyone can pay the premiums due to having a much smaller market either, I suppose. Too bad many that can don't. There's no way for the little players to achieve economies of scale of the big players i

Then why did they have to keep Windows on to apply all the firmware updates?

Ok. I do belive it. You have that entirely backwards. The Windows monopoly was leverage they used to push out competing applications. From the DOJ's proposed finding of fact ( https://www.justice.gov/atr/us-v-micr
