07:47.08MehhhYeh, here's the trick. Find a semi-supported cheap device on aliexpress. Rebrand it and sell it as fully open source. Profit.

11:23.15lundmangot my pocket-tv today, kickstarter from july
11:29.04mnemoctook it apart already? :)
11:29.44lundmannah I know whats in it
11:30.02MehhhI like the plastic vents
11:30.04Mehhhslick
11:30.13lundman1ghz arm cortex a9, gpu-mali-400mp
11:30.18lundman1gb ram
11:30.26lundmanbut the same problem as all of them
11:31.26mnemocbeen US-based you have better chances to demand GPL compliance

11:32.16lundmanI'm in tokyo?
11:32.22lundmanthey are in UA
11:32.33mnemocok
11:32.45lundmanI'll just give it to someone
11:32.47mnemocforgot the .jp details
11:32.48mnemocforgot the .jp detail
11:33.17RaYmAnthe most important thing is that they are US based, isn't it? :)
11:33.50mnemocto use kickstarter they must
11:34.01RaYmAnwhat SoC is it?
11:35.20mnemocRK3066 ?
11:35.26mnemoc(just guessing)
11:36.20lundmanUA= United Arab
11:36.46mnemocow
11:37.37RaYmAnI wonder if it's possible to go after kickstarter for facilitating copyright/license breach, essentially forcing them to pass it along
11:37.57RaYmAnthough, I assume you've contacted them about source?
11:38.50lundmanno, dont care. hardware cant do what I want
11:42.49*** join/#arm-netbook hg_5_ (~chatzilla@91.234.245.245)
11:43.25rmUA is Ukraine
11:43.37rmemirates are UAE
11:43.55lundmanyou assume we were using ISO country codes
11:44.11rmI assume you were caring about being understood by people
11:44.14lundmanI was using lundman's made up codes
11:44.27rm^^
11:44.34lundmanso understanding is unlikely sideeffect
11:45.03RaYmAnlundman: so no idea about which SoC? :)
11:45.14lundmanRK something
11:45.18RaYmAn'k
11:49.00mnemocRK3066 is the "common" dual a9 + mali SoC in cheap hdmi dongles
11:49.51mnemocbut it's 1.6GHz, not 1.... unless they downclocked it because of the heat
11:52.04slapinis RK3066 open enough now?
11:52.58slapinrehi, all!
11:53.45lundmanit shouldnt be considered
11:54.04mnemociirc the source dump was fake
11:54.32*** join/#arm-netbook lerc_ (~quassel@121-74-243-85.telstraclear.net)
11:55.07mnemoci mean, incomplete
12:12.18focus_wellmnemoc: still illegal
12:13.28mnemocsure
12:14.11focus_wellI don't mean to do them harm, but is there any way they can be 'forced' to comply?
12:14.42libvfocus_well: it's amazing how many android devices are GPL violators
12:14.54mnemoceven big brands
12:14.56libvsueing them all does not work apparently, especially on the chinese
12:15.12focus_wellfsf has no resources to go after all of them
12:15.37mnemocit should be ARM itself
12:15.56mnemocforcing their licensees to honor the licenses of the software they use
12:16.09focus_wellCN has some 2 million patents - and they demand respect - so they should go enforce gpl by paying these companies a visit
12:16.38focus_wellI am certain if CN government moved, they will comply quickly
12:16.55focus_wellIts in their own interest to gpl the software, more factories can make more products and more money
12:17.53mnemoconly if you get the GPL bins directly from the SoC manufacturer you can actually try to do something
12:18.14mnemocif not the amount of indirections make it impossible
12:19.15mnemocthe "best" you can get is to destroy an small reseller or get the product removed from the shelfs of a retailer. which imo is not good for anyone
12:19.23focus_wellCN gov has resources to go after all indirections - blanket smack them all in one day. :-)
12:19.45focus_wellSelling gpl to CN gov is key
12:20.48mnemocstill believes it's ARM's fault
12:21.08focus_wellThe more factories that comply the more quickly more factories can spring up to make peripherals and new kit based on gpl'd software and its more revenue for CN gov
12:22.24focus_wellI understand CN gov is not doing too well with their electronics export because of global downturn - all the more reason for them to go enforce GPL and get info shared to make new products people want and make more money all around instead of allowing production to stagnate because no one has access to GPL'd code
12:24.05libvfocus_well: preacher, meet choir.
12:24.14focus_well:-)
12:24.20mnemocfocus_well: request an appointment with your local chinese consul ;-)
12:26.10focus_wellmnemoc: hard work - its a sprawling empire, need empire builder like Stallman to go talk to them
12:27.40focus_wellLets face it Stallman built their electronics empire. They should listen.
12:28.43libvfalls asleep
12:31.39MehhhJust go after telcos that cannot afford the bad PR and fight
12:31.47MehhhFor instance, Clear WiMax
12:32.37Mehhhand carriers that carry rebranded (as their own) devices from such companies
12:35.22focus_wellThe NDA culture originates from west and its the CN gov and CN factories that suffer for it. If CN gov passes a law that says NDA does not apply to GPL'd products, the NDA trolls are fscked!
12:37.26mnemoctime to request an audience with the chinese parlament!
12:37.57libvthe full chinese parliament
12:38.38libvmaybe we should have a march
12:39.18libvwe could be like a hundred or so unwashed geeks, with a badly designed protest-tshirt, and a balloon, and then walk up to the chinese parliament, and then release the balloon!
12:39.26libvthat'll teach them
12:39.39Mehhhfocus, they'll change when Africa or South America replaces them ;)
12:39.45Mehhhor robots >.>
12:40.34mnemocget the 100 unwashed geeks in the house of ARM directives :p
12:40.41MehhhAlthough, maybe it will work: http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-12-06/foxconn-plans-american-expansion-as-clients-seek-made-in-u-dot-s-dot-a-dot
12:45.40andomalibv: :)

13:04.32RaYmAnlol
13:04.35libv:)
13:04.36mnemocchinese marketing is amazing
13:04.38RaYmAnthey really really like to confuse people
13:04.42mnemocyes
13:04.53libvmnemoc: they've come full circle!
13:05.13RaYmAnI also saw a device that said "REtina!!!", then it was like 800x600 or so
13:05.20RaYmAnwell, 800x480
13:05.26libvRaYmAn: they were replying to tina?
13:05.36RaYmAnexactly!
13:06.16RaYmAnApparently, I type faster than i can let go of shift :P
13:06.50libvi am still wondering whether i should pick up one of these: http://www.ebay.de/itm/230896471094
13:06.59libvboxchip a10 wm8850+!
13:07.28libv"original p4you brand quality!"
13:08.15mnemoco.o
13:08.54libvah, sorry... wrong
13:09.02libvvia boxchip a10 wm8850+
13:10.28mnemoc*g*
13:10.33oliv3rmaybe not confuse, rather they have NO, but really NO idea what they are trying to sell? so just put some stuff in there
13:11.23mnemocHanlon's razor
13:11.30mnemocNever attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
13:11.36MehhhBetter off doing the lapdock mod oliv3r ;)
13:15.21focus_welllibv: no need for the great unwashed to present their case to CN gov. Just the bare facts of how much more money they would and how many more factories will get opened make if NDA doesn't apply to GPL rule is enforced through rights already given to them when they joined the WTO.
13:16.27libvfocus_well: i was remembering an event i took part in, close to 10 years
