So it's fair game for personal profit to use the patients...

It really does seem like he's giving away the horse and buggy. But at the same time any improvements they make must also be open to be used by anyone else.

So yeah it makes sense now that it's explained like that.

Right, the whole point is to drive innovation, not stifle it. So many companies get their patent and then never innovate again.

But opening up the patents allows others to innovate, and will likely force Tesla to continue to innovate or die.

I wonder if Keezel would bypass this?

Basically a hardware device doing what Hola does.

Best wishes @DonutDetroyer Hope you will be just as handy when you recover 😉
Aaaaaand hopefully you can pick up where you left off.

TO HOLD THE HANDIES ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And Remix OS is AMD64 only, it won't run on the ARM processors in phones.

That is a shame but sadly for startups it does happen. It the last 1990s I worked for a startup which was to have product in Circuit City and Best Buy.

Sadly the (x) Manager took the paper orders and had the Production of said orders before the final commit from CC or BB.

That paper order for about 50,000 units at a tune of about $8 Million coffined the company. Business, production and finance models were a tad different then - They sold all the stock sub-production cost just to empty the warehouse of it.

Maybe Jolla will be able to recover, and indeed turn things around.

When you are talking about Ubuntu, you're talking about admins using it.. not home users. As such the lack of new things making would never be acceptable to home users - they are constantly looking for new things.. and if they can't find it in the normal store.. they will go elsewhere if it's possible at all.

I've never met those home users. What things are they looking for? I rarely see home users install anything but malware. All they use are web browsers.

I thought the Zero had no connectors, you had to soder on anything you wanted to connect

It only has 2 micro USB for data and power, and a micro sd card slot.

Thanks, I should have looked before posting.

We're about due for a revival of the Sherman anti-trust act, methinks.

I don't think it will happen. These places contribute too much money to the right people.

Are they taking a play from the HP playbook?

Right, but then they don't update it? How can you have enough resources to create an application and then not enough to update it with the platform it's built on?

Why waste money updating something if your customers don't leave you anyway? That's not good business.

I hate your logic sometimes 😉

@scottalanmiller I agree on @Dashrender with this one, production stuff should be on production gear unless it's a really tiny job

Well we pretty much know the size, if it runs in a VM on a Type 2, it's not big. And if we are just talking about some math, what's the purpose of production gear?

My dad used to do linear algebra for Eastman Kodak. He could use the mainframe when needed, but mostly they just bought him a high end laptop and let him take it home. Meant he could do his math modeling anywhere, anytime. Was much more flexible. Unless he had a rush job, no reason to tie up the mainframe.

Well, I just ordered a surface pro 4 for a client. We shall see how this goes.

using letsencrypt right now on my home server, btw. Have a cron job set up to update the cert every month or so, with an easy tool: ACME. Simpler than the 'standard' tool from Lets Encrypt, if you ask me. Go check it out at https://github.com/hlandau/acme 😉

I had a good laugh when I spotted the ".travis Try to speed up travis" Apparently I'm slowing things down, tho I do agree that speeding me up would be a good thing 😛
