Default Re: Foxconn deliberately sabotaging their BIOS to destroy Linux

If anyone didn't notice Foxconn has already owned up and is working to fix the problems.

Quote:
If it is something illegal, then sue them. Which I am quite amazed and surprised that no one has done yet. But, if your argument is based on the the pretext of being "un-ethical" according to some FOSS supporters & communities, then Foxconn is justified as rubbishing this as a rant.
Its when they filed a complaint with the FTC did Foxconn get off its rear. Multiple personnel have responded to the issue and are working on a fix to make sure the board is ACPI compliant.

Hi Ryan

Thank you for all the information so far...

When you reported to foxconn did you email or use the website, sorry working out who give the bad answer to you and stop stuff like this from happening again.

On Monday, I will be sending a email to the bios team about this and having it fixed as well.

Time for me to read the acpi spec again last time I looked was over 4 years ago

Ouch going to be fun again lol


Anyway thanks again,


Kind Regards
