No, why? That’s capitalism for you. It’s still a US company/subsidiary, just with a German owner.
And you think this behavior magically goes away just because it’s a different language?
“Toastbrotmann” ist jetzt auch nicht wirklich die beste Verkleidung.
a motivated group of talented Rust OS developers could build a Linux-compatible kernel, from scratch, very quickly, with no need to engage in LKML politics
Riiight… Because those developers would always be of the same opinion… Good luck with that.
So you’re telling me a company would rather take one sale and two resales than 3 sales?
Why would they want resales?
Why would a game developer want that?
They failed through a combination of exactly that plus the wrongfully held opinion that their usual plan of selling cheaper than other supermarkets and thereby pushing them out of the market would work the same as in other countries.
Doesn’t really work if the other supermarkets are already working with very thin margins. They burnt through a little over 3 billion € by the time they left the German market.
Other than them there is no such thing as a “WiFi card” in laptops, it’s all fully integrated now
Um, what? That’s simply not true, unless you look at a small subset of Laptops.
Why else do you think China would do this?
I’ve traveled quite a lot with my camera, and never thought afterwards “Ah, if only I knew which temperature they were shot at…”
Considering there’s been basically zero implementation at the moment, neither open source nor commercial, there probably is no demand for a feature like this.
This could be as ubiquitous as location and be widely popular.
Could be, but I don’t really see the value compared to location.
It honestly feels hostile
Very well put. I have the same feeling and it gets worse with every iteration.
Your boot disk is (potentially) dead.
I’ve had good experiences with most modern Dell Laptops. Also Thinkpads. What’s “budget range” to you?

@bytebro Yeah, their butchered Ubuntu install, and anti-snap stance is anti-consumer.
It will be effective as fuck though.
Are you high?
