  • Well, it's under a permissive license, so there is little he can do legally, except maybe sue them for not mentioning the original project, which I'm sure they will add and that will be that eventually.

  • When your kid tells you he's VERY HUNGRY and you do this wonderful meal, and he takes 2 bites and says he's full 🤬. At that moment, those 2ms after he says that, you really hate that little fucker's guts.

  • They're still waiting to be mainstreamed into the kernel. The process of integrating drivers into the kernel is complicated. Coding practices of the coder that wrote the driver play a large part in that. Buggy or badly written code will not get accepted. Not all of these drivers have the code quality that is required in order to be merged with the kernel.

  • The real problem is catering to manufacturers demanding to have their own bespoke driver pack, often including some stupid branded management application, when it's just the same as the other dozen manufacturers packaging of the same product. Then you end up with bloated "driver packs" and a system tray of a half dozen vendors screaming for you to pay attention to them and know that they are somehow contributing to your experience.

    This is exactly why I use driverpacks in Windows (3rd party, like SDI). If the drivers are not in the pack, I download them from the manufacturer and if they're packed with an app, I just extract the whole thing and point Windows (through manual driver update) to search for the drivers in that location. It will install only what it needs to work, nothing else.

    they still sold their devices, but the users that were oblivious suffered

    Or they did know, but the copy was a lot cheaper than the real thing. Hell, I've done it. If it does the same thing, why buy the more expensive thingie. I get IP rights and all that, but seriously, in the end, you just have to deal with these things. Unless you're Intel, you should expect your device/chip to end up being copied. China doesn't enforce western world IP laws, so it's a "free for all" kind of a thing there. If you plan on doing this (making your own device/chip), your device/chip better be niche enough so it's not viable to actually copy the design. Otherwise, copies will pop up left and right.

  • What's the deal with Nebraska? Are people from there like really polite and helpful?

  • Yeah, I know, that's why the kernel with the drivers is not more than 150MB. Otherwise, you'd have the Windows situation where driverpacks compressed with 7z (LZMA2, solid archive, 273 word dictionary size and 2GB decompression memory, which requires about 128GB of RAM to compress) take about 30GB.

    You have to pack the driver from each manufacturer because of signatures, even though they might even be the same with other drivers in the pack... but, REV differs and oh well, the driver installer doesn't recognize that driver as a valid one for that device.

  • It's mind boggling just thinking that things like this depend on the effort of one or two guys... while on the other hand, it's not so uncommon that a team of engineers and developers fails to deliver a working (mostly) bugfree product.

    I think management is who is responsible for the shitty decisions, as always... and, in general, just holding the team back.
