Re: [Trisquel-users] Notebook 15.6'' for LibreBoot 500 usd or less?

2019-10-15 Thread xliang9550
Notebooks produced in recent 5 or 6 years can't be librebooted or corebooted,  
because of Boot Guard (a permanent anti-feature that prevents users from  
modifying the boot firmware), and I don't think the manufacturer's official  
pages still show any legacy products.


My community members and I never bother to consider new notebooks. Instead,  
we always hunt for legacy devices (mainly notebooks, but many things more)  
from local dark market. We sometimes get tricked by the seller, but this is  
the cost of pursuing freedom. (Don't you see that any free/libre software  
comes with absolutely no warranty at all?)


So what I can recommend is to find a used legacy notebook from dark market  
(either physical or online, like eBay or Taobao). Said models are very cheap.  
Even T540p cost no more than $300. When you have one of them, first upgrade  
EC by installing latest official BIOS/UEFI package, and then flash coreboot  
using a programmer. With the whitelist restrictions gone, install an Atheros  
WLAN card, and you have a user-respecting computing device.


BTW, some more bad news:

Atheros was acquired by Qualcomm several years ago, and then the ath9k series  
discontinued, so don't expect any new notebook to have one WLAN card that  
respects users' freedom.


In some extreme examples, whatever you can replace on the motherboard is just  
the SSD. The WLAN card, along with CPU and memory, is built-in and there is  
no interface to install a second one.

2019-10-15 Thread znavko

I did not found in Russian shops such models.

I've found these two models in russian webshop:
https://www.dns-shop.ru/catalog/17a892f816404e77/noutbuki/?order=1=none=2=25000-5[65w]=266b[680]=26xe[65f]=264j-264h

But I cannot see exactly model of wifi card:

https://www.asus.com/Laptops/ASUS-VivoBook-15-X540UA/specifications/

And here I'm not see exactly that Acer from that first page:

https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/models/laptops/aspire3

I cannot use Ebay, cause I want guarantee, for not to lose money.

Can you recommend something from Lenovo, Acer and Asus official pages?

Re: [Trisquel-users] Netflix Does Not Work On Firefox.

2019-10-15 Thread Caleb Herbert
I have not had this issue. Using Netflix is not recommended.  It is
proprietary software.  Trisquel tries to avoid that.

Ways to get movies:

A friend's web server.

Any store that sells DVDs.

Redbox - Pay cash and rent a DVD.

Family Video - The traditional DVD rental store.

BitTorrent - Various torrent listings may have the movie you're looking for.

r/fullmoviesonyoutube - Reddit lists movies when they show up on
YouTube.  You can use youtube-dl to download them.

Hi Friends,

It has been 3 days I am trying to Play Netflix on Firefox, but it does not  
work. I am not getting any specific error codes or messages, so I am unable  
to detect where I could be going wrong. Has anyone faced any similar issue  
before? Please let me know your thoughts.
