Linux Distro Reviews Are Mostly Terrible | Robertson Reacts - Invidious

What We Are Thankful For - Purism
First and foremost, we are most thankful for you, our customers and supporters. It’s our customers that most directly allow us to continue our Social Purpose. Each purchase allows us to fund not just the hardware and the team that prepares and ships it, but a more significant amount of that purchase goes directly to fund free software development.
People are generally willing to pay for hardware and services, and are generally less willing to pay for software, especially software under a Free Software license. So the way we fund free software is by selling premium hardware at a premium price, and directing much of the profits toward our software development team.

iTWire - Nozomi researchers find 13 BMC firmware flaws in OT, IoT devices
Security researchers at Nozomi Networks, a California firm devoted to industrial cyber security, have found 13 vulnerabilities in the firmware of baseboard management controllers on an expansion card made by a Taiwan-based company.
The firmware in question was on an IAC-AST2500A expansion card and was based on a product from American Megatrends that is used by ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Gigabyte and Nvidia.
The card is used in both operational technology and IoT devices and is made by Lanner. Five of the 13 vulnerabilities were found to be critical.
The team said it had uncovered further vulnerabilities as well and would reveal these at a later date after consulting the vendor.
