I don't know you, but if I were a customer for that product, I'd most probably start migration projects today.

Nach dem Mobilfunkchip kommt WLAN: Bereits im iPhone 17 soll ein Wi-Fi-7-Chip von Apple stecken. Der war eigentlich schon früher erwartet worden.

Upgrading my old 13" MacBook Pro (Early 2013, A1425) to Debian Trixie. It's a great little machine - fabulous display.

Been using this machine for a several years running a different Linux variant. I was expecting this to be a quick wipe and install exercise but I forgot about the pita Broadcom B43 wifi shenanigans required with this laptop.

Oh well. At least I can futz with it while sitting in front of the TV I guess. James May's new 'Great Explorers' series is interesting.

Btw, Broadcom, it's a cheesy wifi driver! None of this dreck needs to be proprietary. It's not that special!
