Proprietary?

Sometimes sacrifices have to be made to get the message across.

I think we should attack this issue at the root. There are already backdoors in the devices anyway, so what’s this court case really going to achieve? I get it, because it would be a known backdoor, but think of all the nastier NSA backdoors that aren’t disclosed to the public. We’ve lost already by the masses using this proprietary garbage. Schools have failed to teach libre software, this is one of the major reasons we’re here in the first place.

Apple is all proprietary anyways, so you shouldn’t trust them still, even if they win this court case. I recommend using Librebooted Dell OptiPlex 780’s or Dell E4300 Latitude’s with Trisquel GNU/Linux + Tor Browser with Javascript disabled if your looking for the most privacy in your internet activites. You can do what you wish with this information.

That was not to be taken seriously, but I could see that in myself lacking empathy. I’ll the advice regardless, because I did some self reflection and do think I’m lacking that part of myself. Thank you.

I agree. If it’s not libre from the start, we should not trust it. The term “open source” is ambiguous; they could just put it under some restrictive open-source license and then revert to closed source later. If it’s put under a free software license like the GPL, then I’ll feel better.

Yes.

Trust me, I have a good feeling that she told them. It’s kinda obvious. But you’re right, I don’t know for certain. I’m just starting to feel like this is all too much for me, I have to study for my certifications for my next job, I don’t have that much time to learn Spanish right now… If she hadn’t told basically everyone, I would’ve learned for her.

Yeah, sure. The point is if she tells everyone someone will eventually find out and I feel like I will get in trouble. Workplace relationships are not allowed here and she doesn’t seem to understand we have to keep it lowkey. Now that everyone knows, I feel like this is a missed opputunity for something.

Just edited my comment. It’s not a necessity for me, but would be nice to have. Thanks for the info!

I want to use it, but it requires Javascript in order to view the webpage. I’m wondering if there’s a utility that would allow me to download the webpage over Tor, with all the sites functions (audio, elements, etc.)

Wget could work, I’ll give it a try soon. Thank you! (I don’t necessarily need the audio, but it would be nice to have)

Yes, but I would need to enable Javascript, Ultimateguitar.com completely blocks access if Javascript is disabled. Thank you for the tip though! I did not know of that feature.

Edward Snowden next please!

CEO of our company asked me for help with his computer, opened Outlook, and I saw in the search results he searched for “sex.” He was sitting right next to me.

Sorry for the really late reply, no I am not in enterprise IT. I did this solely to help the community use Libreboot more, I want to see it become mainstream. I also was just planning on reselling most of these models, but I haven’t got to it yet.

Libreboot.

I provided testing and funding (not as a developer) for computers like the 9020, 9010, 7010, and 780 OptiPlex, as well as the E4300 Latitude and T1700 Precision. All it takes is some collaboration with others in the community to make it possible!

I’m concerned because there are a lot of employees that are using this one program and I’m worried about them accidentally installing something down the line. Thanks for your response btw.

I did use procmon and saw that it was creating/closing a file in the C: directory. I gave access to the other folders it was trying to access (e.g. C:\Users\Public\CameraSoftware) but it’s still asking for admin privelleges. I tried doing the Task Scheduler method as well, did not work for me unfortunaely. Thanks for your response btw!
