Charts

gollark: There's also that stupid DRM blob my browser needs for "encrypted media extensions", though I have that turned off.
gollark: I don't think there's open-source firmware available for my... SSD, keyboard, smartcard reader thingy, and whatever else.
gollark: With my actual x86-based computer, I mostly control it, except... lots of the firmware, the intel management engine, and the BIOS.
gollark: Mine does too, but it has an annoying screen complaining about the bootloader being unlocked on boot.
gollark: Android phones have the same issue (iOS too, more so, but I have an android one so I'll complain about it) - you can barely do anything to it unless you root it, and even that's a hassle and still has limitations.
