May 20 17:44:57 no surprise there are no comments May 20 17:45:42 paulk-gagarine: ^^^ May 20 19:23:05 DocScrutinizer05, ah, will look into it after launch May 20 20:10:31 paulk-gagarine: thanks a metric ton for that excellent article anyway :-D May 20 20:11:02 i.MX has Mali? or did I misread? May 20 20:11:28 vivante yes, but I think that's not Mali May 20 20:19:56 DocScrutinizer05, looks like comments are fixed now May 20 20:20:12 :-) May 20 20:20:13 DocScrutinizer05, mhh, I didn't mean to say that i.MX has mali, mo May 20 20:20:14 no* May 20 20:20:30 yeah, thought as much, misread that May 20 20:21:20 you know, i.MX is the only existing viable option for open hardware SoC right now, it seems May 20 20:22:14 indeed May 20 20:22:19 but I'm very hopeful for rockchip May 20 20:22:22 as a high-end soc May 20 20:22:25 and allwinner for low-end May 20 20:24:13 it's all about open docs May 20 20:24:32 and availability of course May 20 20:25:08 all open docs won't help when you need to sign a contract in blod, to get your paws on that chip May 20 20:25:19 blood* May 20 20:26:13 "How many do you want??? 1000??? please add 2 or 0 zeroes at least, before we even consider talking to you" May 20 20:26:24 2 or 3* May 20 20:27:53 and I can understand them, form an economics POV, With those prices for SoC nowadays they need to sell 10k items to fund the one afzernoon one employee needs to process your order May 20 20:28:41 to make a ROI, they need to sell 1 mio at one, at least May 20 20:29:37 that's when you run into "MOQ: 10,000" at digikey May 20 20:30:01 or can't get the chips at all, without negotiations with manuf May 20 20:34:40 FSCK DRM May 20 20:35:23 now that this google shit emerged, they pit it in *everywhere*, even on sites that were free once May 20 20:36:28 and as a "nice" side effect, you can't watch that stuff at all anymore on a clean platform May 20 20:37:48 soon you HAVE TO own a android device, to rad your random appliance's user manual and as well to contact the customer service to complain about the fact you can't read the user manual May 20 20:38:18 ooh, and please get a facenook account to contact customer service May 20 20:40:19 "what? you got no internet access in your alpine hut? then sorry, our remote control for that light bulb needs that to work" May 20 20:41:26 once I can't tear off a leaf of toilet paper when my internet link gone down, I know it's time to move to an exile without electricity May 20 20:43:16 I know I will be safe there, since none of those digital debiles will be able to move to there when the global blackout hits May 20 20:45:56 digital warfare already has a destruction potential equal to that of all existing nukes. Just it's WAAAY less controlled and thus much more likely to go into global confrontation mode any time soonish May 20 20:48:14 and then there's the hybrid between digiat and conventional: drones already exist, more to come pretty soon May 20 20:48:28 digital* **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon May 21 03:00:04 2018
