I don't think there would be any guarantees, as it is a free product. So, it would be based on things like the availability of patches upstream (kernel.org), and how many people need the fix, as well as how much effort you are contributing to the fix (be it testing, willing to replicate the issue, etc...)
If people donate hardware - probably yes.
If people with such hardware would be willing to run tests, then probably yes.
Otherwise - my guess would be no, no specific testing for such drivers would be made.
It is typical nonsense of a one-sided view of someone who wants to say:
"My goal justifies any means."
With all the typical justifications of such goals.
It doesn't matter where you are as long as you serve someone in the EU.
So, if you are in the USA, but your website is serving cookies / collecting logs for the visitors, and one of your visitors is in the EU, you must comply with GDPR. GDPR also requires explicit consent to collect information such as IP addresses (logs) or tracking cookies.
I have seen sites just banning all the EU IPs, but I don't think that would work anymore, as California & India have similar laws. I am sure a bunch of other jurisdictions have it by now, as well.
The problem is not GDPR. It’s that websites are addicted to Google Analytics and things like it. Like the article states, the cookie banner is not in the GDPR law. The banner is malicious compliance.
The only way to explain it is mass hysteria. Someone did the banner first and everyone thinks that’s what you need to do to comply and everyone copied.
> Someone did the banner first and everyone thinks that’s what you need to do to comply and everyone copied.
I don't think so. Most sites have teams big enough to know what they are doing, and they know this is the only way to "comply" while still being able to continue business as usual.
The EU doesn’t have jurisdiction over American companies, there’s no way to enforce this. If your company has a European legal presence, that legal entity may see enforcement, but if you’re an American site operating under American jurisdiction, the EU cannot compel you to do anything. America is a sovereign nation that is not subject to EU laws.
Bear in mind that a case that isn't really clear are advertiser networks who work in the EU. Them collecting EU citizen data w/o explicit permission is illegal, and punishment is enforceable. Candy advertising network push girl the cookie banner?
But they can't. Because if the user doesn't consent, the advertising network is not allowed to even be involved.
And most sites don't just use one tracking network but they use many (see some of the convoluted cookie banners where you have to turn off data sharing with several hundred "partners")

You need to heavily asterisk this because this is not true in all cases.
"The thing I do best in the world in a professional sense is writing, so if I were to become rich, getting rich through writing seemed like the most likely way for me to do it."
And this is why kids should learn about bayesian probability https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayesian_probability in school. Otherwise, they will continue to make decisions based on such faulty logic
Being a good writer isn’t some useless skill in a basic office job. I think you are reading some implication into his statement that isn’t there, like he’ll only try to become a famous writer, indefinitely, into homelessness if he fails.
Maybe the plan was to take the unlikely but high payout chance (successful writer) and then the failure-path is basic office job or something.
I look at this as optimizing money, time, quality & enjoyment. The "enjoyment" part is an important component.
I hate doing some tasks, and even if they cost more/save me little time, I would still outsource them. For example, I don't like cleaning the house or doing laundry.
Making slides look good - I cannot do well or I don't enjoy it, so that would be in the quality/enjoyment category of outsourcing.
Some tasks that I enjoy doing or I don't mind doing - and it provides me with a switch in my "work activity" - I would do. Like, I don't mind washing dishes or doing minor home repairs. So, I would do those things and use them as 'rest' from other activities that require thinking, coding, etc.
> Our research has identified numerous critical and high-risk vulnerabilities that your vendor hasn’t patched.
This sort of language strikes me as fear-mongering. I can't tell which issues they have patched in CentOS7 that otherwise remain unpatched. Anyone know what they are talking about?
Buying subscription and using it to build a distro would be against Red Hat Subscription agreement. I guess you missed all the drama of the summer, when Red Hat made it so.
You're right I did miss the details. Sorry for the inaccurate rant. Good for them. We all benefit from more players in this space, instead of just a bunch of RHEL clones.
You are speaking like somebody from an actual community. That definitely shows you missed the drama.
You are supposed to say that we all have a right to an “exact” unpaid replica of the full RHEL distribution that we will explicitly not modify or improve in any way but instead directly commercialize and monetize. We have the right to do this because the above behaviour embodies “the spirit of Open Source”. If Red Hat tries to stop us, it is because THEY are evil and greedy.
