| schestowitz[TR2] | Three Microsoft executives and three IBM executives were traveling by train to a conference. At the station, the three IBM software executives each bought tickets and watched as the three Microsoft software executives bought only a single ticket. | Aug 04 01:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | “How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?” asks one of the IBM executives. | Aug 04 01:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | “Watch and you’ll see,” answers one of the Microsoft executives. | Aug 04 01:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | They all boarded the train. The IBM software executives took their respective seats but all three Microsoft software executives crammed into a restroom and closed the door behind them. | Aug 04 01:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Shortly after the train departed, the conductor came around collecting tickets. He knocked on the restroom door and said, “Ticket, please.” | Aug 04 01:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The door opened just a crack and a single arm emerged with a ticket in hand. The conductor took it and moved on. | Aug 04 01:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The IBM software executives witnessed all this and agreed it was quite a clever idea. So after the conference, the IBMers decide to copy the Microsofties' trick on the return trip to save some money. | Aug 04 01:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | When they got to the station, they bought a single ticket for their return trip. To their astonishment, the Microsoft executives didn’t buy a ticket at all. | Aug 04 01:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | “How are you going to travel without a ticket?” asked one of the perplexed IBM executives. | Aug 04 01:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | “Watch and you’ll see,” answered one of the Microsoft executives. | Aug 04 01:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | When they boarded the train the three IBM executives crammed into the first restroom they could find. The three Microsoft executives piled into another one nearby. Shortly thereafter, the train left the station. | Aug 04 01:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | After a brief interval, one of the Microsoft software executives left his restroom and walked over to the restroom where the IBM executives were hiding. He knocked on the door and said, “Ticket, please…” | Aug 04 01:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | P.S. Enjoy this joke and pass it around to show what crass id--ts and loser managers and executives work at IBM ! | Aug 04 01:09 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | A salesman from Apple and a salesman from IBM occupy offices in the same building. The Apple salesman was in his thirties, the IBM salesman was in his sixties. They rode the elevator together on the way home from work after an unbelievably hot, sticky day. The younger Apple salesman was dressed in business casual, a neat looking Apple golf shirt was tucked into his pair of black dress pants. The IBM rep was wearing his corporate is | Aug 04 01:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | sued dark blue business suit, equipped with standard white shirt and IBM blue tie affixed with the customary Windsor knot. | Aug 04 01:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The Apple salesman was completely exhausted, and he noted with some resentment that his competitor, the more senior IBM salesman, was as fresh as a daisy. "I don't understand," marveled the Apple salesman in the elevator that day. "How can you listen to customers all day long, from morning till night, on a day like this, and still look so spry and unbothered when it's over?" | Aug 04 01:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The older IBM salesman replied simply, "Who listens?" | Aug 04 01:09 |

In particular, open-source operating systems like Linux initially had problems with Secure Boot support.

| schestowitz[TR2] | <p>This is the final post in my blog series about getting my Chumby 8 from 2011 working on a modern 6.x Linux kernel, as opposed to the stock 2.6.28 kernel it came with. Here are links to all of the previous articles where I went into detail about the various obstacles I had to overcome: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12. I guess we’ll finish it off with lucky number 13. </p> | Aug 04 15:35 |

I haven’t been working nonstop on the Chumby this whole time though. I completed most of my work on this project by early 2023, and since then I’ve just been trying to catch up on writing these posts and also fixing little issues as they’ | Aug 04 15:35 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | ve come up. It’ll probably never be fully completed though. I will likely run into various problems in the future as new kernel versions come out and things inevitably break. </p><p> I’m not going to cover U-Boot as part of this. If you’re curious about that, check out the first post in the series. Most of the work I did was in Linux. Let’s start by looking at everything I accomplished in the kernel, grouped by subsystem. W | Aug 04 15:35 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | e’ll see the commits that are in the mainline kernel versus the commits that I haven’t submitted upstream for whatever reason. I’m also linking to all of the original patches on lore.kernel.org in case you want to see the related code review and discussion. </p> | Aug 04 15:35 |
