Comment on Judge hints Vizio TV buyers may have rights to source code licensed under GPL— Tentative ruling signals a potential win for SFC’s copyleft enforcement push

Vizio, take the hint and open up your full stack. Become the hacker’s TV. We’ll write cool stuff that you can use for free (like you’re already doing) and we’ll get to shut off your shitty telemetry in our own firmwares.

I’ll say one word: WRT54G.

You put the hackers in control and otherwise mediocre hardware can become iconic and shape the future of your brand. (It’s funny that you now see the second-gen “looks like a low-poly WRT54G” routers in thrift shops due to wi-fi churn)

OTOH will it be harder with video, if every third party integration is demanding DRM blobs, than with RF which is justjust a federal offense if misused?

That would cause them to lose money

They make money from selling your data and showing you ads.
