0:00:09 | okay first of this talk was titled with you know being so well positioned and |
---|
0:00:14 | then i was gonna lead into the things that can on has done over the |
---|
0:00:17 | years to get themselves into the ideal position right now but then after meeting with |
---|
0:00:23 | people on the first day the conference |
---|
0:00:25 | i realised that it would be more aptly titled do good known know that there's |
---|
0:00:30 | a well position and did you plan it this way |
---|
0:00:33 | and there is so much i |
---|
0:00:39 | so much background to this that i'm going to try to speak slowly so you |
---|
0:00:44 | understand but quickly with the content |
---|
0:00:48 | this could feel they could go and so the things i'd like to cover is |
---|
0:00:52 | who's behind gonna linux hardware why this hardware matter it looks like the screen sizes |
---|
0:00:57 | of |
---|
0:00:58 | and most important |
---|
0:01:01 | how to make got can globally well now before |
---|
0:01:06 | i start i need to give you a disclaimer globally loved first |
---|
0:01:11 | so you see this guy putting a little no but in his pocket this was |
---|
0:01:16 | the first know book that we got to build at all we have level ourselves |
---|
0:01:21 | in china |
---|
0:01:22 | and it was so find you wonder you know do people like the laptops or |
---|
0:01:26 | building or they appealing because we want to have that |
---|
0:01:29 | that feeling where you love your laptops laptop becomes very much for your life |
---|
0:01:35 | and this is the first conference we brought that at the this was the tail |
---|
0:01:39 | pro et one |
---|
0:01:40 | and a guy tried to take it |
---|
0:01:42 | if not gonna there's pockets like a |
---|
0:01:45 | some like that was that was that's the sign of being well loved if somebody |
---|
0:01:49 | actively tries to grab it |
---|
0:01:53 | were aiming for sleek beautiful high and |
---|
0:01:57 | and that's what we hope you know is aiming for also actually your you have |
---|
0:02:01 | so |
---|
0:02:03 | i need to give you disclaimer as a hardware manufacturer generally we don't read the |
---|
0:02:07 | news we're not aware of the |
---|
0:02:10 | drama |
---|
0:02:11 | the things that go on the things that are said feeling sort of are all |
---|
0:02:15 | that the reason why is back in two thousand six two thousand seven we started |
---|
0:02:19 | i realised that i had two choices i can follow the news |
---|
0:02:25 | deal with the issues or i can build hardware |
---|
0:02:29 | and i decided to build hardware "'cause" it's pretty and it's fun |
---|
0:02:32 | so sometimes people have a hard time understanding wait a minute this blond chick from |
---|
0:02:38 | california couldn't possibly build computers or be behind the company that builds computers yes this |
---|
0:02:44 | is what we build |
---|
0:02:46 | these things hardware |
---|
0:02:48 | although we were close hardware and software this is our company we built a little |
---|
0:02:54 | shop in berkeley california we decided to settle in berkeley because is the only city |
---|
0:02:59 | specifically identified with the distraught |
---|
0:03:03 | we have in to build to be small light and we the goal is not |
---|
0:03:08 | to build a large campus i grew up near microsoft ice other campus to go |
---|
0:03:12 | over the landscape we live near tell again to cover landscape we wanna small light |
---|
0:03:18 | we and local because that's how for you know in this bill it's but one |
---|
0:03:21 | person time |
---|
0:03:22 | we will have messing with the hardware we do work on all levels well i |
---|
0:03:27 | say we're a harbour builder we also do have to mess with the software but |
---|
0:03:30 | although we do not make any changes we make we send upstream we do not |
---|
0:03:35 | keep any proprietary code and house |
---|
0:03:39 | we have a lot of fun building what we build and rebuild it specifically |
---|
0:03:44 | for work just like you do to scratch an itch |
---|
0:03:48 | although when i got to me with karen |
---|
0:03:51 | and one of my first questions was well want my second question was |
---|
0:03:55 | why do you do what you do there's got to be a personal reason there's |
---|
0:03:58 | probably a very personal reason behind what all of us do |
---|
0:04:03 | and my personal reason is that it's good for us and it's good for our |
---|
0:04:07 | family my husband and i found that the company we found that this community by |
---|
0:04:12 | in general was a very happy friendly place for us for example |
---|
0:04:17 | well links foundation invited me to an invite only event again right near wall street |
---|
0:04:23 | on in manhattan it was very high and event most of the people there running |
---|
0:04:28 | multimillion multibillion dollar companies it was |
---|
0:04:32 | and just to test their strength i asked him can i bring my son |
---|
0:04:37 | just to see how open and welcoming they work and sure enough not only they |
---|
0:04:42 | welcomed but the people attending also welcome them |
---|
0:04:45 | we've been welcomed at conferences |
---|
0:04:47 | we've been welcomed in this is our oldest son |
---|
0:04:51 | he's the reason why we started |
---|
0:04:54 | a whole second all the sun is the reason why start is reason in the |
---|
0:04:57 | first place and just as a quick intro "'cause" i don't recognise most of you |
---|
0:05:01 | so super quick interesting you know who we are back in two thousand six our |
---|
0:05:05 | son cory |
---|
0:05:08 | wiped one of our machines and put it into on it because you sick of |
---|
0:05:12 | it crashing |
---|
0:05:15 | and i long story short i happened to notice that you had some really cool |
---|
0:05:21 | graphics on screen a he'd installed barrel turn all the effects now companies fusion |
---|
0:05:26 | and it looks really cool and that's how i heard about free open source software |
---|
0:05:32 | and i said hey |
---|
0:05:34 | can you do that's all or computers |
---|
0:05:37 | "'cause" of course we had quite a few that so the companies run by me |
---|
0:05:40 | and my husband that we do not deal with that every day work in berkeley |
---|
0:05:45 | or and we also have a shop it is healing covering us relation |
---|
0:05:48 | we get to travel to things like this and do work on a |
---|
0:05:55 | more philosophical able okay but more important than we are who are the people who |
---|
0:06:01 | are using the code that you've written because we're kind of just to pass through |
---|
0:06:05 | between you guys and the people who are loading for you know but all sorts |
---|
0:06:09 | of different gestures on their laptops |
---|
0:06:11 | when we first opened and february two thousand seven |
---|
0:06:15 | we |
---|
0:06:18 | founder that most of the people ordering from us were developers it was but we |
---|
0:06:21 | didn't advertise "'cause" we not that could business |
---|
0:06:24 | but we found that it was mostly developers long time free open source software gonna |
---|
0:06:30 | linux users |
---|
0:06:31 | they were people who knew what they were doing they were people you had built |
---|
0:06:35 | computers of their own now i brought a bunch of screwdrivers when we first opened |
---|
0:06:41 | we have the policy of |
---|
0:06:44 | are our warranty it was we reserve you're right on your hardware and so we |
---|
0:06:49 | shipped every computer with a screwdriver |
---|
0:06:52 | so please |
---|
0:06:58 | i really messing with because of his machine way to go somebody's appeared anyway |
---|
0:07:04 | we found that this was the ideal type of persons work with we loved working |
---|
0:07:09 | with developers and it was just fine we worked with a lot of people it |
---|
0:07:12 | bend and the field for a long time |
---|
0:07:14 | there's a lot of history we didn't understand but we've comments most of it we |
---|
0:07:18 | see we found that a lot of system administrators of course we're using the various |
---|
0:07:22 | distress and wanting computers that didn't have to deal with the preinstalled linux we also |
---|
0:07:27 | found that there were preinstalled windows excuse me |
---|
0:07:32 | we found that there were people of every age and every variety |
---|
0:07:37 | at one point well at one point we had kid our shop in berkeley isn't |
---|
0:07:43 | open to the public |
---|
0:07:45 | generally other people stop by |
---|
0:07:48 | and one day we had a kids stop by use actually a little older than |
---|
0:07:51 | this guy the source and |
---|
0:07:53 | is about fourteen twelve fourteen is middle school kids a lot even in high school |
---|
0:07:59 | yet |
---|
0:08:00 | and he stopped by any said i heard use of computers and we're thinking great |
---|
0:08:04 | this guy's probably gonna break into the store later this light |
---|
0:08:07 | but he said i'd like to buy a computer and i'd like to buy with |
---|
0:08:10 | big coins |
---|
0:08:12 | is also the quite bizarre |
---|
0:08:15 | so we're like |
---|
0:08:16 | it's just a kid but those are the types of people that are attracted to |
---|
0:08:21 | the kind of software that you code |
---|
0:08:23 | and we found that now here's the part that will hopefully what may surprise you |
---|
0:08:27 | we found a segment of the population that we never anticipated |
---|
0:08:32 | we had one lady call in the early days who is in her seventies |
---|
0:08:37 | and her what she did in her retired years is that she helped her older |
---|
0:08:44 | case in here me such as an or seventies who helped are older friends |
---|
0:08:48 | what wiped windows and install gnu linux just rose on their machines |
---|
0:08:52 | and she told me what one friend said that really |
---|
0:08:57 | struck |
---|
0:08:59 | but they did have the whole essence of why we do what we do she |
---|
0:09:02 | said she installed |
---|
0:09:03 | free open source software so that she is because her friend didn't have time to |
---|
0:09:09 | mess with blue screens |
---|
0:09:11 | when you think about that that's a very humanitarian powerful thing there at the end |
---|
0:09:16 | of their life is people are you know well |
---|
0:09:20 | and they don't have time to mess with bugs now that's i know it's a |
---|
0:09:24 | very bad things that anyway so but they don't have time and that's the concept |
---|
0:09:29 | that i hope we can take with this is that any incremental changes we make |
---|
0:09:34 | then increase the difficulty of the user interface or other aspects of |
---|
0:09:42 | the software make it very difficult for people like this we also had one guy |
---|
0:09:47 | in the early days at least to answer the phone and every now and then |
---|
0:09:50 | i still go back and answer we had one guy call in any said i |
---|
0:09:53 | have a friend |
---|
0:09:55 | who helps me whatever i get bugs on my machine so we helps me a |
---|
0:09:58 | lot |
---|
0:09:59 | and he said he will help me anymore unless i get a machine that's running |
---|
0:10:04 | i dunno debian i forgot what it was |
---|
0:10:07 | and i thought that was pretty funny just that was he had to do that |
---|
0:10:10 | we also besides regular people we also supply places like lawrence berkeley labs that's in |
---|
0:10:15 | berkeley california that's where many of the elements on the periodic table were discovered it's |
---|
0:10:20 | the main research lab funded by the department of energy by the us government we |
---|
0:10:24 | also an or something new zealand we settled here catalyst which is a large global |
---|
0:10:31 | software company aimed at only for an open source and they're amazing big do amazing |
---|
0:10:39 | work at |
---|
0:10:40 | promoting it we've also helped various parts of fedex |
---|
0:10:43 | who need data crunching machines |
---|
0:10:46 | also jet propulsion labs funds nasa |
---|
0:10:51 | we've also helps and the school labs now we are so grateful that we are |
---|
0:10:57 | not only by anybody we have said no to investors and so it's just my |
---|
0:11:03 | husband and i and this point we haven't found any investors to |
---|
0:11:07 | understand the history as they don't understand is goods we do then no |
---|
0:11:15 | but for example we had a school come to us and say we need thirty |
---|
0:11:19 | computers in here the specs |
---|
0:11:21 | and we said that's wonderful but did you know you can get them for free |
---|
0:11:25 | at the computer recycling centre |
---|
0:11:27 | now normally a business can't do that they have to take the order and go |
---|
0:11:31 | through it but since we are privately owned we can do that |
---|
0:11:34 | but we do give but we do fund other schools with |
---|
0:11:38 | parent machines |
---|
0:11:41 | and were able to support there are some of course a surprising number of children |
---|
0:11:45 | use machines that you can't really see but the computer in the bottom right and |
---|
0:11:48 | whatever in than areas that has the lights inside and people buy them as night |
---|
0:11:53 | lights for their children |
---|
0:11:56 | "'cause" they're pretty red lights we like but we found that all yes |
---|
0:12:02 | second |
---|
0:12:04 | no actually no we're now we don't i that's our daughter it just can't keep |
---|
0:12:10 | that's great as you just once it's inside |
---|
0:12:13 | so why haven't you heard of us and because we fly under the radar we're |
---|
0:12:18 | building a very solid base most silicon valley companies prefer to boom and bust they |
---|
0:12:23 | get their big |
---|
0:12:26 | you know i figure investors and |
---|
0:12:30 | but what we'd rather grow for the long term |
---|
0:12:34 | so far working on north america that's done that covered astral asia we have a |
---|
0:12:40 | covered next are setting up shop in london |
---|
0:12:43 | well like i said we're little |
---|
0:12:47 | where it eve at compared to the other builders out there only to other builders |
---|
0:12:52 | that are building that are that are in the global coverage for getting linux machines |
---|
0:12:58 | at least that i know of that as an system seventy six system seventy six |
---|
0:13:02 | is focused only on are going to so we don't consider them a competitor we |
---|
0:13:06 | work with any viable distraught keeping in mind that some of those people i showed |
---|
0:13:12 | you earlier are the people who are getting the machines the machines can't have bugs |
---|
0:13:17 | they can have |
---|
0:13:18 | major obstacles that you need to overcome when they open the machine they needed to |
---|
0:13:23 | just work |
---|
0:13:25 | that's they needed to |
---|
0:13:28 | sorry using somebody else's tech raise their so back and we're now we're now and |
---|
0:13:32 | number two why this hardware matter okay when i came here in the first day |
---|
0:13:37 | i looked around to see what computers people are using "'cause" that's what a geek |
---|
0:13:40 | you heard reject us |
---|
0:13:41 | send i look like twenty five percent they'll twenty five percent know about twenty five |
---|
0:13:46 | percent apple twenty five percent other but can you raise your hand for |
---|
0:13:51 | i'm sure many of you on more than one laptop but i raise your hand |
---|
0:13:55 | for every type of laptop you own wanted out |
---|
0:14:00 | okay |
---|
0:14:02 | okay who wants one double |
---|
0:14:04 | wow |
---|
0:14:07 | good quality hardware apple |
---|
0:14:11 | okay other |
---|
0:14:14 | cool okay that's relatively balance a little bit more a little bit off from what |
---|
0:14:19 | i thought thank you |
---|
0:14:21 | systematic your C K Y this hardware matter |
---|
0:14:25 | now it's my guess |
---|
0:14:27 | that most of you don't really care what hardware you buy you just wanted to |
---|
0:14:31 | work you want to be solid and you do you don't wanna have issues with |
---|
0:14:34 | it |
---|
0:14:37 | you don't believe hardware matters that's okay most people don't believe it matters that's just |
---|
0:14:44 | a from my point of view i misunderstood a massive |
---|
0:14:48 | painfully large misunderstanding |
---|
0:14:53 | earlier |
---|
0:14:54 | this year |
---|
0:14:57 | last year earlier last year |
---|
0:15:00 | i had a long conversation with cory doctor of it was i think sixty three |
---|
0:15:06 | emails back and forth and back and forth my only goal in the email was |
---|
0:15:09 | to convince and the hardware matters |
---|
0:15:12 | he ended up writing essentially a love letter about our company online which would have |
---|
0:15:17 | been nice if we shipped computers to the people in who most |
---|
0:15:22 | prefix column we got a lot of people in europe saying i still |
---|
0:15:28 | so but my main the thing i got from that conversation is that it's |
---|
0:15:36 | there's the only way i was able to convince and the hardware matters with by |
---|
0:15:40 | talking about U E F I secure but now i'm sure you've heard about it |
---|
0:15:45 | and if you understand i'm sick you have a secure grip on a deep |
---|
0:15:51 | level then you could you know for about |
---|
0:15:54 | a minute half |
---|
0:15:55 | if not i'm gonna give a quick summary of a talk i gave it fast |
---|
0:15:58 | down |
---|
0:15:59 | earlier this year about you have five |
---|
0:16:03 | you have fight is hardwired into the motherboard |
---|
0:16:07 | it is you have five replaces the bios |
---|
0:16:13 | it's in between operating system which you guys deal with |
---|
0:16:17 | and hard one from where the hardware which we deal with and the from or |
---|
0:16:21 | which the companies deal with |
---|
0:16:24 | the heart of the bios the original code what it does what you have what |
---|
0:16:30 | the bias what you if i does is it helps all video cards look like |
---|
0:16:34 | video cards it helps all memory sticks or like every six all it helps |
---|
0:16:40 | and a manufacturing level and also helps |
---|
0:16:43 | on a developer level the bias was written back and these are the hottest coolest |
---|
0:16:48 | machines you can build |
---|
0:16:51 | the fact that it is last in this is mind boggling |
---|
0:16:56 | but the truth is that the original by also so poorly specified i look |
---|
0:17:01 | they needed updates "'cause" it was causing you headaches and it was causing the owens |
---|
0:17:06 | the goal of U E F I was admirable but the implementation leaves a lot |
---|
0:17:11 | to be desired is the nicest thing that's a quote from my husband earl as |
---|
0:17:15 | the nicest thing you can possibly say |
---|
0:17:18 | essentially secure do is just a little blob of code within you if i and |
---|
0:17:25 | it's encryption key that checks to see if drivers are certified with the matching key |
---|
0:17:29 | and the only execute certified code |
---|
0:17:33 | now |
---|
0:17:34 | that sounds like it would increase security on your system right |
---|
0:17:39 | and it does the security can be good and security can be bad |
---|
0:17:43 | because who's the gatekeeper |
---|
0:17:46 | well here's what's happened so far actually even before two thousand eleven two thousand twelve |
---|
0:17:51 | systems are shipping with you have i no one really noticed |
---|
0:17:55 | we saw it but that's only "'cause" working williams |
---|
0:17:59 | in august two thousand twelve was when my alarms all of our alarms at building |
---|
0:18:04 | level one off because you have can be computers are shipping programs are shipping with |
---|
0:18:09 | you if i enabled |
---|
0:18:11 | most of desktop motherboards have you have i |
---|
0:18:14 | many of the laptop motherboards had you have five servers the same but there already |
---|
0:18:17 | lockdown environment doesn't really affect them as much tablets have a different architecture are doesn't |
---|
0:18:23 | have a by also no you have five or at phones what harm and some |
---|
0:18:26 | laptops which is the crown book use corporate so hopeless super quick snaps |
---|
0:18:31 | now there are a few solutions that work with secure be now |
---|
0:18:36 | so that you can avoid |
---|
0:18:39 | to get avoid am some a lot can issues you can use a tool to |
---|
0:18:42 | generate your private key a lot of work only people like the people in this |
---|
0:18:47 | room would enjoy doing that you "'cause" i don't know a stream of the private |
---|
0:18:50 | key where you can put a public key and the bias you have five but |
---|
0:18:53 | you have to have traction for that one |
---|
0:18:56 | here's a potential who knows if this is how it will progress but it potential |
---|
0:19:01 | this is what i'm still you read this one this is what companies when they |
---|
0:19:06 | sit down in the border and they say okay what's our long term plan what's |
---|
0:19:10 | our end goal |
---|
0:19:11 | what are we aiming for |
---|
0:19:14 | and that's |
---|
0:19:16 | the goal for you if i adoption |
---|
0:19:22 | now i owe em level so what we do is |
---|
0:19:27 | we go to the factories right now we don't build their own motherboards of course |
---|
0:19:30 | but we go to the factories |
---|
0:19:32 | and we have depending on the size in the order the bigger the order them |
---|
0:19:37 | or say we have and how it's built |
---|
0:19:41 | we have five built and you have to do |
---|
0:19:46 | a pretty large order to convince censorship it with secure be turned off |
---|
0:19:51 | or the thing so if |
---|
0:19:53 | but it's change the world's change from when you could go and just buy a |
---|
0:19:58 | laptop wipe it and install your favourite is true every windows a machine now ships |
---|
0:20:03 | was secure bit enable |
---|
0:20:04 | so yes |
---|
0:20:07 | used to be the power of the individual we use to be able to do |
---|
0:20:09 | that so now if you want to build a really cool machine like used to |
---|
0:20:13 | be able to do you get a bunch this is jan about ten thousand people |
---|
0:20:16 | model and the shot of course but if you wanna get about that many people |
---|
0:20:20 | who want the exact same specs you do and order some computers who go for |
---|
0:20:24 | it or we need to belittle supply chain in order to support harder the works |
---|
0:20:29 | so how do you disable |
---|
0:20:32 | secure boot you get into the bios for you if i set up |
---|
0:20:36 | there sometimes are changeable it's different for every system for right now |
---|
0:20:42 | sometimes it have ten sometimes is escape sometimes it's delete it will become more complicated |
---|
0:20:46 | with time that's just how corporations work |
---|
0:20:49 | you find a secure be option you select disable if the system has fast but |
---|
0:20:54 | i'm enabled you're screwed because it disables the keyboard now i am getting to a |
---|
0:20:57 | point that sounds terribly boring but i'm getting to a point |
---|
0:21:00 | go and take a minute read that |
---|
0:21:07 | you got it |
---|
0:21:13 | if it has no fast but it automatically puts you in the scarab it automatically |
---|
0:21:19 | will see and so that's how you disable it |
---|
0:21:26 | that's a turn off |
---|
0:21:28 | so but do you think there are regular users are gonna do that they're gonna |
---|
0:21:31 | be able to do that little long press the keys fast enough to be able |
---|
0:21:34 | to get in |
---|
0:21:35 | they're gonna walk away |
---|
0:21:39 | now why does it matter whether we have |
---|
0:21:42 | these people using our systems are not most companies don't the well wide why does |
---|
0:21:48 | it matter whether people are using i'm i am so grateful to be don't foundation |
---|
0:21:53 | is being led by a brilliant leader in the very so whatever you talk to |
---|
0:22:00 | somebody in an organisation if they can summarise in a sensor to what they'd organisations |
---|
0:22:07 | goal fantastic they have a clear vision they can help guide people in the right |
---|
0:22:11 | direction the first question to ask karen was |
---|
0:22:15 | what's important to you it wasn't there was no hesitation it wasn't even apples and |
---|
0:22:19 | it was one word and that that's very clear when i gave you have i |
---|
0:22:26 | talk a fast am even logo on pointed out |
---|
0:22:30 | you know when working on our own projects it's really it feels really good to |
---|
0:22:34 | be able to just do it on your own or you know work with a |
---|
0:22:37 | small group unfortunately we do need users |
---|
0:22:40 | now here's |
---|
0:22:42 | why secure boot is so subtly |
---|
0:22:47 | dangerous |
---|
0:22:48 | because they call that secure but and disabling something that secure makes you a bad |
---|
0:22:53 | person feeds disable security on a primal level people create security this is a constant |
---|
0:22:59 | so people who are just now coming into the field even if they can figure |
---|
0:23:03 | out how to disable secure based |
---|
0:23:05 | there is something on a very primal level causing them to |
---|
0:23:09 | pause wait a minute i'm disabling the security on the system that on so many |
---|
0:23:13 | levels that's not a good thing |
---|
0:23:15 | that's even chip on nichols is the one of our favourite media guys |
---|
0:23:21 | that's pretty obvious it's not really about security but we call secure because that's a |
---|
0:23:26 | good marketing strategy any gives you two choices |
---|
0:23:28 | who right now you have two choices |
---|
0:23:32 | okay i wrote a post i wrote a quick little article about |
---|
0:23:37 | secure but awhile ago now how many you have but you're on machines |
---|
0:23:42 | have any bill your desktop a laptop well no that's not you take the screws |
---|
0:23:48 | up you gotta know hardware you've mastered that you seen what it is engine even |
---|
0:23:53 | if you just wipe the machine and loaded a free and open just row on |
---|
0:23:56 | it gives you the ability to essentially flips the bird to proprietary just rose |
---|
0:24:06 | what secure does now if you are queasy or |
---|
0:24:11 | don't like it's explicit graphics look away for the second actually knows coming up in |
---|
0:24:15 | the middle |
---|
0:24:16 | so |
---|
0:24:17 | no this is my building your own systems changed it's changed the world for the |
---|
0:24:22 | makers were slowly adjusting females of if makers were just in time but |
---|
0:24:27 | since the beginning till now we've all had the luxury of tinkering |
---|
0:24:31 | but what secure because and this is intentional at the corporate level as the det |
---|
0:24:35 | to removes your ability to flip the bird to the proprietary corporation |
---|
0:24:40 | okay |
---|
0:24:41 | we but |
---|
0:24:43 | i believe there is a flip side there is a good side and a bad |
---|
0:24:47 | side everything i'm a diehard optimist |
---|
0:24:50 | you know that little spiel that sound like a |
---|
0:24:53 | the good side of you neophyte secure there is that for the first time ever |
---|
0:24:59 | it gives us the chance |
---|
0:25:01 | to make |
---|
0:25:04 | free of source of core look like a worldwide cool thing |
---|
0:25:08 | throughout the last few decades |
---|
0:25:12 | all of our after all the effort of all the makers and geeks has been |
---|
0:25:16 | diluted by getting one particular just rollover than one particular type of machine we've dealt |
---|
0:25:22 | with |
---|
0:25:24 | thousands tens of thousands hundreds of thousands of different types of machines going on do |
---|
0:25:28 | with different just rosewood different configurations we've hammer so many problems |
---|
0:25:34 | and while that's been extremely valuable in helping make |
---|
0:25:38 | getting linux a very solid |
---|
0:25:42 | chunk of code |
---|
0:25:46 | it's |
---|
0:25:47 | has made it so that our effort has been very diluted |
---|
0:25:52 | so now that's now that we |
---|
0:25:57 | now that's now that machines have to come was secure blue either enable disable this |
---|
0:26:02 | ultimate different ching factor |
---|
0:26:04 | now when you when people ask about you have a secure blue and white hardware |
---|
0:26:08 | matters the best answer you can give is that it's complicated |
---|
0:26:12 | the just shows actually are going to this one |
---|
0:26:15 | when just shows were given the choice and most just shows have sorry ago when |
---|
0:26:19 | just rules were given the choice of you either sign with microsoft or you suffer |
---|
0:26:25 | death by obscurity |
---|
0:26:27 | and the obscurity as because it's it will become and it is becoming harder and |
---|
0:26:31 | harder to load windows on windows machine the clock basically started in august two thousand |
---|
0:26:36 | twelve |
---|
0:26:37 | any machine that ships with windows comes to secure bit enabled that just means all |
---|
0:26:42 | the hardware that's out there right now is ageing owl |
---|
0:26:45 | and slowly one by one will realise the problem |
---|
0:26:49 | so they were given and then and then possible choice just by obscurity or that's |
---|
0:26:53 | by signing with a company that they just didn't necessarily agree with |
---|
0:26:58 | so |
---|
0:27:00 | all the different just rose and all the different |
---|
0:27:02 | house's that they've built |
---|
0:27:06 | when's your bit of a devastating experience know how many of you have seen the |
---|
0:27:09 | corporation |
---|
0:27:11 | i would be okay so only handful so give the hopefully thirty second summary |
---|
0:27:17 | american corporations mikes also american corporation a lot of the people who manufacture hardware american |
---|
0:27:24 | corporations |
---|
0:27:25 | by law |
---|
0:27:28 | corporations have to do whatever we'll bring in the most profit there are good people |
---|
0:27:34 | working at microsoft we but there are good people working there |
---|
0:27:38 | who have good intent but by law a corporation |
---|
0:27:44 | do something that will lose shareholders value |
---|
0:27:48 | people can get in big trouble for that |
---|
0:27:51 | so by law whether they want to or not they have to do whatever brings |
---|
0:27:55 | in the most profit |
---|
0:27:57 | there is no upper capture to earnings |
---|
0:28:00 | they have to earn as much as they possibly can |
---|
0:28:03 | now in the united states of corporation is treated as if it was a human |
---|
0:28:07 | being |
---|
0:28:09 | i get it has no ethics no values no nothing it has one goal make |
---|
0:28:15 | money |
---|
0:28:18 | and that's a very dangerous thing and you'll see in a minute |
---|
0:28:22 | i have a good example that |
---|
0:28:24 | so we see i hopefully i painted a bit of the picture now why hardware |
---|
0:28:29 | and software need to work together i'm sure you've seen now as a developer who |
---|
0:28:34 | doesn't have access to the audience |
---|
0:28:36 | you bang your head against lots of problems that you cannot fix i see something |
---|
0:28:42 | like that you cannot fix |
---|
0:28:44 | because you can i get the harder manufactures to do what you want them to |
---|
0:28:47 | do |
---|
0:28:48 | we're right at that intersection between |
---|
0:28:54 | and we do see possibilities |
---|
0:28:56 | it told us when we saw all the different distrust signing with microsoft essentially what |
---|
0:29:03 | they did is they |
---|
0:29:06 | it smacks of sense encryption key is that it |
---|
0:29:10 | so |
---|
0:29:12 | summary you have five is good and much needed secured was poorly implemented complicated is |
---|
0:29:17 | the point of being dangerous there are solutions the solutions are difficult but doable if |
---|
0:29:21 | we could what break communicate and |
---|
0:29:23 | the part we get to we get to the happy part now |
---|
0:29:25 | how this is the last part how to make a good i'm globally loved |
---|
0:29:32 | long term now |
---|
0:29:34 | i don't have the answers |
---|
0:29:36 | and a lot of the problems but i do have i don't have the answers |
---|
0:29:40 | but i will give you one example of something that we've been through that's helped |
---|
0:29:44 | shape how we do what we do now most year software people right obviously |
---|
0:29:50 | and how many of you have worked on a project |
---|
0:29:54 | where you had a deadline |
---|
0:29:57 | and you weren't able to do what needed to be done in time at that |
---|
0:30:01 | and by the time at that deadline it |
---|
0:30:04 | and you are had to make compromises that seriously her quality |
---|
0:30:14 | that's an unfortunate situation that happens |
---|
0:30:18 | whenever you have deadlines |
---|
0:30:26 | the one is kind of |
---|
0:30:28 | because problems throughout the organisation |
---|
0:30:33 | only that affirmative so we realised that if we said not to investors we didn't |
---|
0:30:40 | have to have deadlines |
---|
0:30:43 | the only negative consequences and not having deadlines as it sometimes people get mad they |
---|
0:30:48 | wanna know what date when the next have what's gonna be released or whatever and |
---|
0:30:53 | so sometimes people get mad at that |
---|
0:30:55 | but it's a heck of a lot better than doublings the compromise quality |
---|
0:30:59 | so that's just one example of something we've learned |
---|
0:31:03 | actually no i didn't get the full story that and i here are the three |
---|
0:31:07 | guiding principles that are the |
---|
0:31:10 | situations |
---|
0:31:12 | that have helped us come up with three guiding principles for potential solution |
---|
0:31:17 | our tech support |
---|
0:31:19 | if you can see a good enough that the guy doing is on tech support |
---|
0:31:22 | he's cleaning out a system he must are heard that you need to clean the |
---|
0:31:24 | fan from time to time |
---|
0:31:26 | is that the water at suppose is using this as blitz as you're doing it |
---|
0:31:30 | wrong |
---|
0:31:31 | okay so we take support quite often not always but quite often you call tech |
---|
0:31:36 | support and you're talking to somebody who may have never even touched the machine you're |
---|
0:31:41 | trying to get support on |
---|
0:31:43 | and sometimes six i'm i doubt there are many people in your call tech support |
---|
0:31:47 | ever you probably just deal with it yourselves |
---|
0:31:50 | and or maybe you have or maybe you are on the other end of the |
---|
0:31:53 | phone line and stuff |
---|
0:31:54 | so one thing we decided to do is one day i said wait a minute |
---|
0:31:58 | what i could call in the tech support and i could talk to the person |
---|
0:32:03 | who not only use my particular machine but we built my particular machine or at |
---|
0:32:07 | least work the next to the guy or one who don't my particular machine |
---|
0:32:11 | that's why not we're building the shops like clean and small why not |
---|
0:32:16 | and so something happy happened |
---|
0:32:19 | when i found out that it's easy the system in a we also supply stanford's |
---|
0:32:26 | a i'll at the artificial intelligence lab which is really cool |
---|
0:32:30 | and one of the google founders has robotics lab that we've worked with |
---|
0:32:34 | but it's easy a system administrator at stanford called and says hey i'm having a |
---|
0:32:39 | really hard time with my stride a |
---|
0:32:42 | she wants to talk to the guy who built it |
---|
0:32:45 | also i found out that the person who built it they're gonna be a lot |
---|
0:32:50 | more careful in their bill they're gonna tie up records inside the desktop a lot |
---|
0:32:54 | more neatly they're gonna go for perfection if they know they might get a call |
---|
0:32:58 | from the person every see that machine |
---|
0:33:01 | so we decided to build tech support |
---|
0:33:04 | with the shortest distance possible between accountability |
---|
0:33:10 | and consequence |
---|
0:33:12 | between the person who built and the person who uses |
---|
0:33:16 | between the person who has responsibility for building a machine properly and the person who |
---|
0:33:21 | imposes the consequence for the quality of that machine |
---|
0:33:25 | shorter slime possible between accountability and consequences |
---|
0:33:29 | dataset that's just a guiding principle that we're using as we try to figure out |
---|
0:33:34 | where to go next in dealing with |
---|
0:33:37 | the different just rose |
---|
0:33:39 | berlin i spend today in manhattan before we came here and if any of you |
---|
0:33:45 | are geeky enough to enjoy visiting you big the coolest places throughout the world the |
---|
0:33:51 | o'reilly published something called the geek atlas |
---|
0:33:55 | that was so i don't know about a hundred places throughout the world that have |
---|
0:33:59 | really geeky cool things have this is well lock museum the john as possible lock |
---|
0:34:04 | museum in manhattan |
---|
0:34:06 | it's impossible to find |
---|
0:34:09 | well it's hard to find and when you get there they said always not open |
---|
0:34:12 | to the public so you kind of have to hack your way and |
---|
0:34:15 | social hiking |
---|
0:34:17 | and so we got in and we got to see locks that have been built |
---|
0:34:22 | since the beginning of time since they were building blocks out of wood |
---|
0:34:26 | it's an old musty museum and it was a it was delightful |
---|
0:34:32 | back when they were making happens |
---|
0:34:34 | for security they were making these to protect bank vaults |
---|
0:34:40 | the patent system actually worked |
---|
0:34:43 | and it worked well for building bank for security and to hear that any kind |
---|
0:34:50 | of patent law is working well that was the over so my husband i took |
---|
0:34:55 | a little bit of time to talk about how patents how the patents worked with |
---|
0:35:00 | walks over time |
---|
0:35:02 | and the way it worked is that everybody every manufacturer every builder made an incremental |
---|
0:35:09 | improvement was able to patent that improvement but they didn't whole blood money to the |
---|
0:35:13 | previous |
---|
0:35:15 | improvements |
---|
0:35:17 | so for example if apple is |
---|
0:35:21 | is patenting the movement of swiping your finger from the left to the right there's |
---|
0:35:27 | no chance like that that's not how the block industry worked the lock industry |
---|
0:35:33 | and said that they weren't allowed to patent you have a keen you have a |
---|
0:35:37 | locking you put one into the other |
---|
0:35:39 | they were allowed to patent things such as this is the time lock with a |
---|
0:35:43 | specific type of time device dial and this allowed for refinement of the hardware that |
---|
0:35:50 | was healthy for example the time locked didn't work it was actually to secure the |
---|
0:35:55 | bank managers were scared that they wouldn't be able to get into their vaults when |
---|
0:35:58 | they wanted to but neither could the bad guys but still it didn't do well |
---|
0:36:03 | so we don't use it |
---|
0:36:04 | someone has man i sat down at |
---|
0:36:08 | at it in this little teeny little museum in manhattan and talked about what does |
---|
0:36:12 | the how could this possibly there's some there were some good things happening in this |
---|
0:36:17 | field historically how criminals principles guide us and what we do |
---|
0:36:24 | we realise okay just on a very simplistic level |
---|
0:36:28 | where the hardware where the where the box with a lock softwares the key |
---|
0:36:34 | you guys have the code that allows these machines to run in the first place |
---|
0:36:40 | but at the key the box isn't any good that the box |
---|
0:36:43 | the key can only scratch your back |
---|
0:36:49 | keep software hardware separate |
---|
0:36:52 | but together |
---|
0:36:54 | one of the things that the software industry is done with their patent says that |
---|
0:36:58 | they've trying to meld actually unlock so that they're one and the same unit and |
---|
0:37:02 | they become a break they become unusable we can no longer take them open |
---|
0:37:06 | and explore them and learn from them |
---|
0:37:09 | the third principle we've learned my backgrounds in education |
---|
0:37:13 | and one of the things i've been fascinated by is that there's no correlation or |
---|
0:37:18 | even causation there's no correlation causation between money and learning |
---|
0:37:22 | people have this insane idea and i call it insane because we keep making the |
---|
0:37:27 | same mistake again and again |
---|
0:37:29 | that the more money you throw it schools the better cancel learn |
---|
0:37:33 | and it doesn't work that way learning has to come from the inside the money |
---|
0:37:39 | does not correlate for "'cause" learning so how do we |
---|
0:37:43 | it so that's just i i'm not gonna do additions education but just that there |
---|
0:37:48 | is no correlation |
---|
0:37:50 | money doesn't solve it and as soon as the focus shifts to the money and |
---|
0:37:54 | all the learning |
---|
0:37:56 | you lack integrity it goes from learning is the goal to money and learning |
---|
0:38:01 | you lose focus and your high risk of working against yourself |
---|
0:38:04 | so those are our three guiding principles accountability in consequence keep software hardware separable working |
---|
0:38:09 | together never let money make the big decisions |
---|
0:38:12 | so |
---|
0:38:14 | in our early days when we first up and shop we had just rose approaching |
---|
0:38:19 | us saying hey you can you should are destroying your machines and give us a |
---|
0:38:22 | cut for each machine you should for the just row give us ten bucks or |
---|
0:38:26 | whatever for each machine you ship with our wonderful destroy |
---|
0:38:31 | and |
---|
0:38:32 | it makes complete sense from a business standpoint |
---|
0:38:37 | but for some reason we felt this is wrong and we couldn't pinpoint and it |
---|
0:38:41 | wasn't in cell block a museum and a few other things that we realise wait |
---|
0:38:44 | a minute this soon as you enter into a contractual agreement with the stroll you |
---|
0:38:49 | lose |
---|
0:38:50 | some of that integrity you have deadlines |
---|
0:38:54 | you put an extra layer between accountability in consequence |
---|
0:38:57 | you're no longer separate |
---|
0:39:00 | and the money is making the decision |
---|
0:39:02 | and so we wanted to work with a good know community a more directly but |
---|
0:39:08 | we couldn't figure out how |
---|
0:39:11 | i am so grateful they can has taken has a i'm grateful that you've done |
---|
0:39:15 | what you've done and build such a solid base |
---|
0:39:18 | because back to the first slide of being well positioned |
---|
0:39:21 | i would love nothing more |
---|
0:39:24 | then if you guys did your industry |
---|
0:39:26 | or if we were to support industry |
---|
0:39:31 | the reason why the numbers so well position is that you have all of the |
---|
0:39:35 | puzzle well nearly all of the puzzle pieces but they haven't yet then put together |
---|
0:39:41 | into one distraught we have people and i showed you some of the people who |
---|
0:39:44 | love the cold the ease of the you why older people who don't have time |
---|
0:39:50 | to mess with anything that isn't beautiful and simple in its most basic form |
---|
0:39:55 | so that's my that's what i would love to see happen |
---|
0:40:00 | but |
---|
0:40:03 | nobody and again on community has ever come to us and said hey can you |
---|
0:40:07 | give us can you give us a cat or can we do a deal and |
---|
0:40:10 | that's not how they're gonna foundation or any other part of it works from what |
---|
0:40:14 | i understand |
---|
0:40:15 | and i appreciate that i have what you and i thank you for that because |
---|
0:40:22 | that would be the wrong direction to go |
---|
0:40:26 | so i'm not exactly sure how |
---|
0:40:30 | it's going to work the one thing that my husband and i came up with |
---|
0:40:33 | that i'm sure will talk to people about but i tend to be kind of |
---|
0:40:36 | as open as possible about these things |
---|
0:40:38 | is that it's a support the gonna foundation are going on developers or whatever maybe |
---|
0:40:45 | hire if you maybe go ahead and give back to the community based on the |
---|
0:40:50 | number system sold but do it on a voluntary basis |
---|
0:40:54 | just do it is donations |
---|
0:40:56 | that allows separation |
---|
0:40:59 | that allows |
---|
0:41:01 | it |
---|
0:41:02 | one of the reasons why the schools don't the schools don't work |
---|
0:41:06 | is that sometimes the more money we throw kids we don't give them the option |
---|
0:41:11 | of failing |
---|
0:41:13 | we lived in your dell here in austin texas |
---|
0:41:16 | where the kids were not allowed to fail |
---|
0:41:18 | they had a hundred percent passing on nearly all of their stay standardised tests if |
---|
0:41:23 | you're not from the us that probably doesn't make a lot of sense it was |
---|
0:41:26 | basically forced for success |
---|
0:41:29 | and there are these for kids on drugs |
---|
0:41:32 | just wishing they would at least have the choice to either succeed or fail and |
---|
0:41:37 | i believe that's very important if the just row wants to sign with microsoft and |
---|
0:41:43 | have a now we still support it would to and fedora and all of the |
---|
0:41:49 | others were still shipping machines actually going to start number one |
---|
0:41:53 | D fall selection when you're selecting it's a stronger site |
---|
0:41:58 | but |
---|
0:42:01 | unfortunately that's because is the best option currently available for the people that need to |
---|
0:42:07 | use these machines |
---|
0:42:09 | i would love to have a different option |
---|
0:42:12 | a more pure option we also support risk all which is a lot more much |
---|
0:42:16 | more pure |
---|
0:42:19 | and so on the on our you know where partying last night so |
---|
0:42:25 | i like that's all the heavy parts over so every presentation i like to do |
---|
0:42:30 | something fun at the end |
---|
0:42:32 | i like to do a quiz |
---|
0:42:36 | and give away stuff "'cause" it's fun or not so i brought some keyboards another |
---|
0:42:41 | thing i don't know if you all noticed but on your keyboard if you look |
---|
0:42:45 | down hopefully some of you guys have stickers over your start key is pretty much |
---|
0:42:50 | all of these machines except for if you think you are not reason machines |
---|
0:42:55 | every not back in the late eighties nineties microsoft another brilliant marketing mail |
---|
0:43:02 | okay so this do we have the stickers |
---|
0:43:06 | we the mikes have to brilliant marketing move there's a key on every keyboard manufactured |
---|
0:43:12 | in china and we much only channel |
---|
0:43:15 | that is called the start key or the home key but their logo on it |
---|
0:43:19 | because you start with windows is your home they have they their marketing departments brilliant |
---|
0:43:27 | and i say that in a very negative derogatory way |
---|
0:43:32 | that's sarcasm |
---|
0:43:34 | but you can't really see the sarcasm sorry |
---|
0:43:38 | so what we figured it was time for tax oregon you have their rightful choice |
---|
0:43:44 | on the keyboard so we had a batch of keyboards manufactured just for us it's |
---|
0:43:49 | not a sticker but if you don't have if you do have |
---|
0:43:56 | we could probably going down |
---|
0:43:58 | later we normally have this the stickers that we give away with talks on and |
---|
0:44:02 | we need to have word hopefully and the process of getting some with the guinea |
---|
0:44:06 | one also one if even a foot |
---|
0:44:11 | and that's a let me ask some questions |
---|
0:44:14 | so |
---|
0:44:15 | do any you know with the first programmers were |
---|
0:44:19 | okay give me one main reason and if you know i saw you what |
---|
0:44:24 | okay actually i need to ask a more specific question sorry and make any at |
---|
0:44:28 | it up there so nickname one of the media programmers |
---|
0:44:34 | no |
---|
0:44:36 | now she was |
---|
0:44:39 | she work for the group that was |
---|
0:44:42 | the what was founded by one of the union developers but she |
---|
0:44:48 | look at look on weekly you can in finding at gonna ricky page |
---|
0:44:52 | but anyway go ahead anybody else this is awesome okay so what happen one also |
---|
0:44:57 | that's actually horrible that's sarcasm again |
---|
0:44:59 | so what happened was when the news articles came out about the any i |
---|
0:45:05 | ages ago they thought that's |
---|
0:45:09 | these women in the picture were be otherwise they thought they were showcasing this beautiful |
---|
0:45:14 | hardware they didn't understand they were actually the one plug in that is the and |
---|
0:45:19 | following the specification code but the engineers and written for them |
---|
0:45:24 | anybody feel free to look it up |
---|
0:45:28 | in any of you name any of the originally any i coders |
---|
0:45:35 | i guess and save true okay now i have to the fast researcher |
---|
0:45:41 | sure |
---|
0:45:43 | anybody |
---|
0:45:48 | if you just we key any occupied whatever |
---|
0:45:51 | so |
---|
0:45:54 | okay so striking that it and it on their cell phones |
---|
0:46:01 | so these are for women that are a mini they didn't go out there and |
---|
0:46:08 | get the they were amazing women we heard one of them is name i will |
---|
0:46:13 | say |
---|
0:46:13 | speak and she was brilliant she's now in her eighties |
---|
0:46:18 | i think |
---|
0:46:20 | what |
---|
0:46:21 | just like |
---|
0:46:26 | i remembered i roll doubles her name i know i'm forced is not one and |
---|
0:46:32 | she was not one of these for what is one like this is not other |
---|
0:46:35 | that are when we do a that's program |
---|
0:46:38 | why |
---|
0:46:39 | it's not there okay so maybe there is i'm just using any and we keep |
---|
0:46:44 | age and just this is the how dishes with this question before i pass question |
---|
0:46:48 | all over the world and so what i usually say is a this picture of |
---|
0:46:51 | these for women |
---|
0:46:54 | one you mean one name any names |
---|
0:46:58 | yes you have |
---|
0:47:01 | G also |
---|
0:47:05 | okay so gym or i think i now there's a story about gym or take |
---|
0:47:12 | if you ever go to silicon valley schedule your visit during that time with the |
---|
0:47:17 | computer history museum has one of their events where they have a speaker come and |
---|
0:47:23 | they will have people like timber take who's still alive how man and give a |
---|
0:47:27 | talk or rubber half one of the guys invented ethernet cable and they are whole |
---|
0:47:33 | areas because from their perspective they've seen things happen that i can only dream up |
---|
0:47:38 | one of gene vortex original stories is that when that the there are rich the |
---|
0:47:43 | first call that they ever programmed was actually i have the speaker a question what |
---|
0:47:47 | was the original what was the first bit of code now you can guess on |
---|
0:47:51 | this one because i don't think it's an indian article but i think about it |
---|
0:47:54 | this is in us |
---|
0:47:56 | what we program yes right here |
---|
0:48:00 | yes |
---|
0:48:04 | thank you |
---|
0:48:08 | and i can ask you the other three names but they are actually is too |
---|
0:48:13 | little |
---|
0:48:15 | so i know no okay macaulay and betty over whole burden excuse me but i've |
---|
0:48:20 | only heard you marked speak she said and as a as a coder you would |
---|
0:48:23 | understand is she said that they had back in the these years they didn't do |
---|
0:48:29 | all lighters or multiple lighters like i'm sure some of you know my husband was |
---|
0:48:32 | in the game industry for years and my goodness |
---|
0:48:36 | they worked very late like seven P M nine P M |
---|
0:48:42 | but they were so nervous "'cause" the next day they were presenting it to the |
---|
0:48:45 | government officials who funded their research and she said they programmed and everything calculated correctly |
---|
0:48:51 | except one at all but |
---|
0:48:54 | when the missile hit the ground going |
---|
0:48:58 | i |
---|
0:48:59 | i thought that was cute |
---|
0:49:01 | why |
---|
0:49:03 | they built what the missiles to keep on going back then that wasn't really the |
---|
0:49:07 | goal |
---|
0:49:09 | i |
---|
0:49:26 | how big do you have to be before you think you are in a position |
---|
0:49:29 | where you can demand that you are given a free violence by the manufacturers like |
---|
0:49:34 | an open source |
---|
0:49:36 | a first before |
---|
0:49:38 | influenced by it |
---|
0:49:42 | i don't know |
---|
0:49:46 | i well |
---|
0:49:48 | it's in the hundreds of thousands so you know schools able to |
---|
0:49:53 | but together corbett for the problem book and |
---|
0:49:57 | that's about it there's so many steps between the chip manufacturers and the motherboard manufacturers |
---|
0:50:07 | and the case |
---|
0:50:08 | builders |
---|
0:50:09 | that |
---|
0:50:11 | getting all the way through the chain |
---|
0:50:14 | is a really difficult ask you look at like |
---|
0:50:18 | motorola that's been bought by google |
---|
0:50:22 | the new |
---|
0:50:23 | motto X phone is not able to have the latest and right on it because |
---|
0:50:29 | it takes it another part of google now |
---|
0:50:34 | just kidding |
---|
0:50:36 | status and |
---|
0:50:38 | definitions for the low level hardware |
---|
0:50:41 | takes a lot of time |
---|
0:50:47 | no |
---|
0:50:49 | where you know it's very possible |
---|
0:50:54 | i know this is gonna be a new field and just had a talk with |
---|
0:50:58 | richard using amazing version about it but have you looked into sort of opening up |
---|
0:51:02 | your hardware i know it's like there's lot of parts of the modern computer but |
---|
0:51:05 | it would like say leasing design specifications for your cases or things like that |
---|
0:51:12 | go back and the manufacturers down give them to us |
---|
0:51:17 | it and it does not follow copyright |
---|
0:51:20 | and that got really i email from okay so we didn't we want to have |
---|
0:51:25 | like we have another one that were going to be launching really see a hopefully |
---|
0:51:31 | days weeks some like that but we have guidelines and |
---|
0:51:36 | but the when we order from them quite often they wanna ship they're so they |
---|
0:51:41 | want to include windows they want to get a test is a bonus because that's |
---|
0:51:45 | cool and that extra so or with a nine and please do not include windows |
---|
0:51:49 | we don't wanna we know we're not paying extra for it and we haven't seen |
---|
0:51:52 | often a just and durable at that please take windows or you can have windows |
---|
0:51:57 | it's a free software |
---|
0:52:01 | so it's just different that's a different world that now that they don't answer that |
---|
0:52:06 | we do with that |
---|
0:52:08 | okay |
---|
0:52:09 | sorry |
---|
0:52:10 | so are you accepting put coins |
---|
0:52:19 | we support of a hundred percent we can tell you horror stories about works in |
---|
0:52:23 | the merchant processing system but that's all other top i want you guys so to |
---|
0:52:30 | use you have been working on the lower levels so it's you know do you |
---|
0:52:36 | do you use idea |
---|
0:52:38 | but to will mostly bit with your remote you directors do use realistic in most |
---|
0:52:45 | of them are still to these before you leave is rickles to people |
---|
0:52:50 | but to what can we do to so you sliver |
---|
0:52:55 | i totally don't understand that we can say that clever |
---|
0:53:00 | it's very well i totally thought in the startup and i have no idea and |
---|
0:53:04 | idea but the picture in the slide presentation of the guy i think that's kind |
---|
0:53:08 | of how i pictured what he went through i don't know that i don't know |
---|
0:53:12 | but it was a very difficult situation |
---|
0:53:15 | it is a very difficult it what you know the whole look right |
---|
0:53:20 | see that's another reason why we have to keep the lock in the key separate |
---|
0:53:26 | if there and that's other is what we don't read the news is we have |
---|
0:53:29 | to stay healthy we have to stay |
---|
0:53:32 | viable |
---|
0:53:35 | and so if a distraught wants to fail let them fail we cry for that |
---|
0:53:40 | we cry for them for a day and then we get back to building will |
---|
0:53:43 | heart that god only |
---|
0:53:47 | so of got long a use for you want three use is not that's two |
---|
0:53:52 | homes not gonna be building induced room that's okay you can you can be building |
---|
0:53:56 | miller's |
---|
0:54:00 | i |
---|
0:54:05 | good |
---|
0:54:07 | thank you |
---|
0:54:13 | what can we do to opening that's resonating we can we do to hope you |
---|
0:54:19 | what your again |
---|
0:54:21 | so |
---|
0:54:23 | the also more specific i'm sure |
---|
0:54:29 | it |
---|
0:54:31 | we support you guys are so what we need to do like with stress well |
---|
0:54:34 | i'll give me that as an example |
---|
0:54:36 | they can just and they said you know i know you guys are aiming for |
---|
0:54:39 | free an open there are so many proprietary blobs and the stuff your shipping that's |
---|
0:54:43 | like we now we know we're doing our best were doing what we can but |
---|
0:54:46 | we have all the options either build with what's out there were not build it |
---|
0:54:50 | all and so that's the only choice |
---|
0:54:52 | and so what they did is they worked on the got good enough we shipped |
---|
0:54:56 | it out to perform really well on the field and what i'm that the thing |
---|
0:54:59 | that both my husband are trying to communicate today is and i don't think i |
---|
0:55:03 | have is the value of the code base you already have in place the puzzle |
---|
0:55:09 | pieces are there you guys have any idea how amazing it is to ship a |
---|
0:55:15 | computer to somebody who has never use linux |
---|
0:55:19 | doesn't know the difference between windows and a map |
---|
0:55:22 | we had so back it was when we first started in two thousand seven i |
---|
0:55:26 | was like you know okay we're shipping to |
---|
0:55:29 | developers and i love these guys and women and guys when whatever and i this |
---|
0:55:35 | is fantastic but when we gonna ship to people who don't really who are technically |
---|
0:55:39 | inclined |
---|
0:55:40 | so i said someday i'm gonna here of a tech support call it indicates that |
---|
0:55:45 | worshipping to middle america are worshipping to people you don't know what they're doing and |
---|
0:55:49 | one day i was sitting to two desks away from the tech support person |
---|
0:55:53 | and i heard and say |
---|
0:55:55 | well have you tried turning it on |
---|
0:56:00 | so you know that by |
---|
0:56:02 | i |
---|
0:56:04 | and two thousand nine |
---|
0:56:07 | guide |
---|
0:56:08 | well i wanted to say that when you do you do your own or else |
---|
0:56:12 | and |
---|
0:56:14 | we is a hardware manufacturer want to include the you know we'd like to support |
---|
0:56:18 | secure but we don't want microsoft to you some our systems |
---|
0:56:22 | so when you do your own |
---|
0:56:25 | secure signing without microsoft he's and will support |
---|
0:56:30 | your work he's been or you your for it's not that big a deal it |
---|
0:56:35 | really isn't |
---|
0:56:38 | it takes effort it takes a bit attraction |
---|
0:56:42 | we support you guys are be |
---|
0:56:44 | for years i've been wanting to have a different evolved bistro |
---|
0:56:49 | so |
---|
0:56:53 | and are there any other questions |
---|
0:57:02 | i think everybody's done are like my goddess and this how much more |
---|
0:57:07 | a lot of other places the pieces so just to clarify you're opposed to secure |
---|
0:57:13 | restricted we would even with things like matthew good shimmer the linux boot loader based |
---|
0:57:18 | on ideological differences with microsoft holding the keys and only guess so yes we are |
---|
0:57:24 | we are opposed to a proprietary corporation whose only goal is building is isn't building |
---|
0:57:30 | better profit margins holding the key a gateway is everything |
---|
0:57:36 | it everything |
---|
0:57:39 | do plan for authenticating drivers which you know all of the hardware vendors are using |
---|
0:57:44 | microsoft ski to sign if you're not gonna of microsoft a quick |
---|
0:57:51 | not sure all |
---|
0:57:54 | right now as well as we're building with the distress you have signed |
---|
0:58:00 | or |
---|
0:58:06 | right |
---|
0:58:12 | no much remember that we can have i think you're very |
---|
0:58:17 | you we have by is good |
---|
0:58:21 | that is the part that makes all video cards would like video cards and all |
---|
0:58:27 | the driver modules |
---|
0:58:29 | you |
---|
0:58:31 | i don't know i have and i don't what |
---|
0:58:34 | you're on the question |
---|
0:58:53 | and that's a room for the volume level would like to see those drivers sign |
---|
0:58:57 | with the but don't see that's not the whole gentleman softly |
---|
0:59:02 | but you can sell open source drivers |
---|
0:59:05 | open source drivers |
---|
0:59:10 | sorry |
---|
0:59:12 | my laptop doesn't have any proprietary drivers there's a lot of flexibility liam level |
---|
0:59:19 | at the driver level |
---|
0:59:27 | this is the type of thing we might need to open up |
---|
0:59:31 | and environment where we can chat about it |
---|
0:59:35 | "'cause" i can tell right now there's three people or at least two people who |
---|
0:59:38 | are gonna do major research as soon as they get internet connection |
---|
0:59:44 | go ahead of their of their |
---|
0:59:56 | and where you what you want and ship hardware with open firmware opened drivers or |
---|
1:00:01 | anything like that now the way weren't growing is |
---|
1:00:05 | small lights clean and local shops there usually were applicable there actually kind of set |
---|
1:00:10 | up like a franchise business model "'cause" the shops themselves |
---|
1:00:14 | are about some distribution and supply chain and there's a good reason why there aren't |
---|
1:00:20 | any other hardware manufacturers who are competing but that's |
---|
1:00:24 | it's hard a there's no profit margin there are a lot of people you don't |
---|
1:00:28 | want to do and if money is in your motive then you can do it |
---|
1:00:31 | but if it is then so what we're doing is i would love to have |
---|
1:00:35 | a hundred of "'em" worldwide right now in all the major cities |
---|
1:00:38 | if we had investors we would |
---|
1:00:40 | i've had investors propose doing to run the million it's not |
---|
1:00:44 | they're the barriers are |
---|
1:00:46 | surmount able and if i found an investor who |
---|
1:00:50 | was ethical i would |
---|
1:00:53 | i can tell you horror stories right |
---|
1:00:56 | question so what board |
---|
1:00:59 | thousands |
---|
1:01:06 | it depends our new zealand shop is at it depends on orders to sometimes we |
---|
1:01:12 | have a large amount borders sometimes it's down like right before anything to release probably |
---|
1:01:16 | should use remotes try it example where the millions |
---|
1:01:20 | i'm not shed and aggressor |
---|
1:01:24 | sorry so anybody or not to advertising about a lot of people here actually here |
---|
1:01:33 | and maybe a little bit of a harsh question so what what's the fundamental difference |
---|
1:01:37 | between you buying laptops from chinese manufacturers want to send you windows with them and |
---|
1:01:42 | then installing linux on them and me by laptop from a chinese manufacturers want to |
---|
1:01:47 | be when you can literally that tomorrow it's one way to do it through the |
---|
1:01:51 | know was web store all the time right i mean what's difference between these two |
---|
1:01:54 | things a difference is that the differences about that dilated after you can do yourself |
---|
1:02:00 | i talked a lot if you can do yourself and you can spend a lot |
---|
1:02:03 | of time and a lot of money figuring out it's becoming more difficult i don't |
---|
1:02:07 | know if i just sit intelligent machines and to get hard right |
---|
1:02:12 | or late eighties as you can just go to best buy or antispeaker or stars |
---|
1:02:16 | of questioning well it just you know i go to learn over dot com of |
---|
1:02:19 | iowa which means that it but when it's on a |
---|
1:02:25 | okay |
---|
1:02:27 | so how it so we stick to different from what you're doing from a point |
---|
1:02:31 | of you know write a different here is yes that's a very good question so |
---|
1:02:35 | thanks for asking a if you are a developer type and you can get over |
---|
1:02:39 | any potential problems fantastic as far as i know though what does learn it doesn't |
---|
1:02:43 | know about ship it with windows installed or |
---|
1:02:46 | okay can you order it with your favourite bistro |
---|
1:02:52 | okay can anybody |
---|
1:02:55 | like where "'cause" i'd love to know |
---|
1:03:01 | i have to look into that "'cause" as far as i would be thrilled if |
---|
1:03:03 | they were not wanna support that and promote it if they were |
---|
1:03:08 | but as far as i know nobody's doing and the reason why is because you |
---|
1:03:12 | get pressure from microsoft |
---|
1:03:21 | okay good |
---|
1:03:23 | okay now the reason the reason the main reason at the main part of all |
---|
1:03:28 | sorry go ahead of it the people than here |
---|
1:03:40 | okay so into the microphone |
---|
1:03:44 | but also the point you will you will actually should i want to or see |
---|
1:03:52 | running free builds and usually don't pay extra for it |
---|
1:03:57 | now the reason i love this question because it is very true and very accurate |
---|
1:04:02 | yes if you were developer you can |
---|
1:04:05 | you can find ways around it you always find ways around it we will always |
---|
1:04:10 | find ways around it unfortunately it's on a one person level in a world that |
---|
1:04:14 | has billions and billions of people |
---|
1:04:17 | so what happens and i didn't have it in this presentation but i have it |
---|
1:04:21 | in others |
---|
1:04:23 | is that i assume they your building that your coding it not just for tomorrow |
---|
1:04:29 | or next year or the year after i as you know that in your quieter |
---|
1:04:34 | moments when you're thinking about your life in general you want some of your code |
---|
1:04:37 | to be a legacy for who you are and what you contributed you want your |
---|
1:04:42 | kids or grandkids to actually know what can is in general public speech rather than |
---|
1:04:48 | reading about in history but |
---|
1:04:51 | we're building legacy here |
---|
1:04:53 | and well developers configured out yes that's fantastic we always will be able to figure |
---|
1:04:57 | it out we need to make |
---|
1:05:00 | the hardware accessible to the public at large and i have never met a regular |
---|
1:05:05 | release in america i've never met a regular person he's probably well |
---|
1:05:09 | they by doubles and apple they |
---|
1:05:14 | they wanna they wanna simple easy entry point they don't wanna options |
---|
1:05:17 | so we're trying to reach |
---|
1:05:19 | the public at large |
---|
1:05:21 | so i hear your point there's a question okay |
---|
1:05:25 | sorry not really |
---|
1:05:27 | but legacy |
---|
1:05:29 | okay |
---|
1:05:32 | you had a |
---|
1:05:34 | not so thinly veiled criticism of capitalism and be american corporation a i said that |
---|
1:05:41 | i got it what are your ideas are like just overall general theory about how |
---|
1:05:49 | you compete and are successful against these entities without playing into the game so much |
---|
1:05:55 | in a with our old really where money and numbers matter so much as of |
---|
1:06:00 | right now is structures so that we don't have to |
---|
1:06:02 | we don't like that |
---|
1:06:05 | but in you do compete when someone's looked by computer but that on their side |
---|
1:06:10 | if that the competition does enter are doors we can i think it's really easy |
---|
1:06:15 | to look is just as a fixing compared to them |
---|
1:06:19 | but we now we can it's a distraction |
---|
1:06:23 | i don't know if i mean to capitalism i don't know i'm working as hard |
---|
1:06:26 | as anybody else but i don't |
---|
1:06:29 | i just all i know is that the foundation i want to be able to |
---|
1:06:32 | open up my machine i wanna be able the white lot what i want i |
---|
1:06:35 | don't wanna i that's just i'm just talking about from a very personal level |
---|
1:06:41 | and how we how we figure out how to shape a dist row |
---|
1:06:46 | that doesn't have microsoft is the gatekeeper i mean we can |
---|
1:06:52 | that still come out of philosophical level |
---|
1:06:57 | although the keys to solve a girl there okay that S okay before you go |
---|
1:07:02 | please grab a screwdriver we have plenty and we have a bunch of all stickers |
---|
1:07:06 | are not stickers we have ribbon to sorry and |
---|
1:07:10 | so i am i can has i'm too tired at a tax |
