FYI HP (and Dell, but not Lenovo) are priority targets on the BDS list. Please do not support them even if they support Linux.
What’s the “BDS” list? Never heard of it.
… Why… or how, would McDonald’s support Israel and the IDF?
I mean, that seems such an easy target to avoid and just go “I’m staying out of this one” for any company, but McDonald’s? That just has to be for the sport
they give away free food to the idf.
Cruelly ironic, considering the IDF used starvation as a weapon.
even more so when you consider that they’re using healthier ingredients for the idf instead of the toxic sludge that they serve to americans.
I hate when I already don’t buy from any of these companies, so I can’t really join the boycott for this. At least some of them I am boycotting for other reasons, not just because they make a shit product. Intell, for example, I’ll buy from AMD every time first.
Sadly, AMD is in Israel as well, although to a lesser degree.
Boycott divest and sanction israel
Damn I just looked that up and WIX is on the list. WTF, WIX? Damnit
Meh, they’re shit anyways.
Still, fuck HP.
ik HP has a Linux laptop and all but this company is definitely the last company I thought would do smt like this
high-usage vendors like hp (and dell, lenovo previously reported on) have to start paying-in to support the operating costs of the service.
they certainly aren’t doing it because they want to.
Great news for the foundation, still sorry HP but you have burned me regarding your printers
lol, $100k+… HP revenue in 2024 was $53,559,000k.
Dell same year $88,000,000k and Lenovo $69,000,000k, so ~$50B to $90B
I let you calculate the percentage but… I’d guesstimate it’s approximately nothing.
Soon subscription is coming up for fwupd

Monitor ran out of cyan, can’t show image. Please replace with Genuine HP Color Display Cartridge^tm to correct.
They aren’t doing this out of Altruism, mind you. They know damn well that the world runs on Linux admins, and they want the ecosystem to survive so they can use it as a customer base later.
And Linux should not survive by altruism, but by actual dependency.
Greats news more support for Linux, Two weeks ago I bought a Lenovo IdeaPad 2in1 and while I was on their website checking the warranty, I decided to see if there were BIOS drivers and there were. I tried using fwupd and it didn’t find anything and when I searched found that this model does not have Linux support and I couldn’t simply use the terminal, it was only possible from Windows, I had to download the .exe and Hiren’s to update the firmware.
