OT: The U.S. Needs to Stop Lecturing the Rest of the World About Internet Values
by Alexander Ross 28 Dec '16

28 Dec '16

off topic: I’m finding this insightful as to why luke was treated the way he was by a number of allwinner :( people: http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/future_tense/2016/11/the_u_s_shoul… bit in particular i just read: " Just as one man’s freedom fighter is another man’s terrorist, one country’s “soft power” is another’s weaponized values and existential threat. Because Americans see their values and interests as essentially benign, they completely miss how those abroad interpret what seem like harmless acts. (The Chinese and the Russians read Soft Power: The Means to Success in World Politics, too, and they’re on to you.) Furthermore, much of the Chinese and Russian political class believe the West’s insistence on democracy and human rights is not merely distasteful and unnecessary, but a concerted way to weaken and destabilize them. As it is, Chinese Communist Party cadres are instructed by party bosses to be vigilant against “American efforts to overthrow the communist system through ‘peaceful evolution’—that is, the spread of Western ideas and culture.” Now imagine what the turbo-freedom of America’s global internet looks like to them. Actually, you don’t have to imagine it. In 2011, two years after President Obama’s town hall meeting with future Chinese leaders in Shanghai, the state-run newspaper China People’s Daily editorialized about the United States’ deployment of shadow networks in authoritarian countries: “The US State Department has carefully framed its support of such projects as promoting free speech and human rights, but it is clear that the policy is aimed at destabilizing national governments.” It called Tor—software that helps people mask their location—“a weapon in a covert cyber war intended to maintain the US’ global dominance.” " LOL teaching to population that the tool that helps them is in fact the enemy, classic. the us funded tor cus a sub department needed such a tool too. while other departments hate it :) ...but yes the powers that be speak BS about freedom,etc when they them selfs are promoting the surveillance - the never forget state. it will be logged, it will be jugged. the citizens will be given a treat level to the state and status quo rating. or some other named way of categorisation.

another 32-bit RISC-V embedded controller. this one's 320mhz. sadly only 48 pins on this one otherwise i'd seriously consider using it in the 15in laptop PCB2. l. --- crowd-funded eco-conscious hardware: https://www.crowdsupply.com/eoma68

Oh on another interesting note btw, not that you will be doing this in the near future, but I read on trisquel forums that I guess I am not the only one who wants, another size option. such as 11, 10 or 7. My preference is between 10-13 inches. But I just wanted to make sure you knew that I wasn't the only one. Although, I had a thought, at some point maybe make a poll to see how many people want a smaller size and who would be willing to buy one. THIS is a THOUGHT, I just wanted to put out there. Feel free to deny my request if you don't have the time at the moment, but whenever you can find time, it would be a good idea. >>>> for the record I didn´t know you had a mailing list for the longest time. >>> i would say "it's right there on the page" but i actually had to >>> search for it myself (and it's a looong page). yeah this is a >>> long-running project. >> Okay my bad. > nono - there's been so much going on it's easy to miss things. > > l. > > > > ------------------------------ > > Message: 3 > Date: Mon, 28 Nov 2016 01:27:00 +0000 > From: Alexander Ross <maillist_arm-netbook(a)aross.me> > To: Linux on small ARM machines <arm-netbook(a)lists.phcomp.co.uk> > Subject: [Arm-netbook] OT: The U.S. Needs to Stop Lecturing the Rest > of the World About Internet Values > Message-ID: <dbb6066b-dcff-c3db-c113-628d33c24485(a)aross.me> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 > > off topic: > > I’m finding this insightful as to why luke was treated the way he was by > a number of allwinner :( people: > > http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/future_tense/2016/11/the_u_s_shoul… > > bit in particular i just read: > > " > Just as one man’s freedom fighter is another man’s terrorist, one > country’s “soft power” is another’s weaponized values and existential > threat.

A few questions,
by zap 26 Nov '16

26 Nov '16

Correct me if i am wrong, but you said in your latest update that 4 gigabytes of ram may be a possibility in the future yes? Or am I misunderstanding? The other question though I wondered was it says on some of your delivery dates march or something like that, I just wondered how long it takes from the time I order for the day it would arrive, also, when exactly is the printed for you, instructions/videos coming out of curiosity? for the record I didn´t know you had a mailing list for the longest time. but thanks for telling me.

EOMA68 laptop housing battery control
by Jonathan Frederickson 24 Nov '16

24 Nov '16

I'm curious, since unlike most laptops the computer is in a separate unit... is the charge level of the battery reported to the OS as it would be for a traditional laptop or phone? Would be interested to know if this is supported in general, only with certain CPU cards, or not at all.
