What are you on about? Yes they made sure their gadgets were easy to use, but Apple and Jobs were the pinnacle of "locking you in" on their ecosystem for the profit of it. Sure they weren't as careless about users when compared to Microsoft but they weren't too favourable of you using anything else. They invented this stuff.
Yes exactly. These companies hold rights for far too long in the hopes they can "milk that cow" at any chance they have. The products of these (and many others) companies are electronic waste for many after a while and so normal copyright laws shouldn't hold for them, it's just too wasteful.
That's because these consoles and source code are not always compatible. To make them it would cost them time, money and the compromise to maintain them.
I would rather these companies to be forced to open source their older hardware and source code, so the community could do something with them and not have all the hardware laid to waste. Or at least support the development of emulators
Great, I'll be a bit absolute and say that if a corporation doesn't want to use my GPL code I see it as a good thing, corporations tend to be soulless leeches.
Same for me, but still no shipping for my country, so I just bought a used T490 which will serve my needs for 4 years and then I'll go for framework; hopefully they are still kicking by then. If shipping was available I would for sure have gone for their 13'' laptop even though it's much more expensive and powerful than I need for personal use.
Thanks for your answers. I wasn't able to get what I wanted to work but that's because the device used broadcast for discoverability which doesn't work through subnets. I pivoted to something else
It depends on your needs. I have minis that cost <100$ and have others that cost 500$. My cheapest mini has currently 3TB of backups of my personal things, so it serves my needs very cheaply. I don't need a GPU so it keeps the costs down.
I read somewhere that someone was using anonymous currencies to buy life saving medicine from "non traditional" markets because they were much much cheaper. Let me see if I find the article
What I mean is better licenses that make sure you get paid if companies profit from it, and harsher penalties for those that get caught infringing the license
That's why Foss will always be better, and we need to support these developers. They also need to protect their software better from capitalist ghouls that will profit from it for free
