I'm getting really tired of companies pissing all over my name!

Bose open-sources its SoundTouch home theater smart speakers ahead of end-of-life in c/technology@lemmy.world

Thing is they didn't actually open-source it, as stated in other comments. They just released the api documentation. While, yes, it is a step in the correct direction, it is definitely not open-source. Open source would be releasing the source code for all the software involved, which they haven't done.

So close yet so far. Why must hardware support be so weird? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Yeah, I have. This set of Mediatek wireless adapters don't have any support yet despite being out for quite a while. I can't remember what model it is specifically, will edit the post with that when I get home.

So, I've noticed this more as I've gotten deeper into piracy, but why do all the various programs installed through a fitgirl repack require administrator, even if they're installed for the user?
I may be dumb but it just always makes me a bit worried.

Edit: I do not mean the installation process, I'm talking about running the process once installed.

I finally bought a replacement CPU so I could put linux on my desktop again, just to find out that my wireless card doesn't work under linux. I guess I'm gonna have to save up and get a PCIe wireless adapter
