Hire me to work on open source projects! I've been working on and using open source for about 20 years, principally on the Debian project.

- pabs3When are we going to get certificates signed by multiple vendors?

Other open firmware: https://wiki.debian.org/Firmware/Open
- Strongly disagree with all of that.

- I wonder if it is possible to install a standard Linux distro on LG TVs. There is KDE Plasma Bigscreen for a TV-like experience on such distros.
If not, there are some webOS exploits on this wiki page:

Hopefully the Vizio lawsuit will mean the right to repair software comes to TVs more easily.
- Personally I would rather transparent pricing. For each service the store offers, add a cost of appropriate type and value for that.
- A compromise; if the manufacturer has a way to reprogram them, then the users should be able to as well.
- Attackers can remove your ring, or just the finger...
- It would also mean that any GPL code recipient could sue for compliance, and since Conservancy is a small underfunded org, that is a huge win since it means others could do that work too.
- Conservancy disagrees that GPLv2 doesn't require this.

- GPLv2 mandates user-modifiable devices too, according to Conservancy at least.
- I want the law to compel you to make your products hackable. The GPL is often irrelevant for devices, the law is what matters.

- We can have both freedom and safety by requiring re-certification after modification. Like when you heavily physically modify a car then you can still drive it after the authorities decide it is safe.
- > their own payment processors
Thats another industry that needs more competition.
- We really need a right to repair all software (or at least replace).
- Agreed. Its not that useful, but I have been collecting exploits here when I see any that could potentially be useful for replacing firmware on devices.
