DaemonFCIn the Anniversary Update, Cortana now completely ignores the user's default web browser and preferred search engine and only opens with Microsoft Edge, which forces search results to load in Bing, even if the user has a different preferred search provider in Edge. Microsoft claims that it is necessary to force Windows users to use Bing, to prevent a "compromised experience that is less reliable and predictable".[220] Users had previously Sep 18 02:21
DaemonFCbeen getting around the Bing restriction by installing Chrome extensions like bing2google[221], and Firefox had been redirecting Cortana searches to the user's default search engine in Firefox.[222] Nevertheless, another workaround was found in a matter of days of the Anniversary Edition release, which restores the ability to direct Cortana searches to the user's preferred browser and search engine.[223]Sep 18 02:21

DaemonFCSomeone keeps reverting my edits about Cortana on the Windows 10 article. So I rephrased it and added an entry about disabling Cortana completely.Sep 18 18:31
DaemonFCIn Windows 10 "Redstone", Cortana ignores the user's default web browser and search engine and only opens web searches with Microsoft Edge and Bing. Microsoft claims that this is necessary to prevent a "compromised experience that is less reliable and predictable".[134] Users had previously been using their preferred search engine by installing Chrome extensions like bing2google[135], and Firefox had been redirecting Cortana searches to the Sep 18 18:31
DaemonFCuser's default search engine.[136] Nevertheless, another workaround was devised following the "Redstone" release, which restores the ability to direct Cortana searches to the user's preferred browser and search engine, by way of an open source utility called SearchWithMyBrowser that hooks into the "microsoft-edge:" protocol and opens anything that calls it in the user's preferred browser.[137][138]Sep 18 18:31
DaemonFCWindows 10 "Redstone" removes the setting to turn off Cortana that was previously in the Cortana settings menu. However, users can still disable Cortana by using the Group Policy Editor or a registry setting.[139]Sep 18 18:31

DaemonFCI added a short description of the main problem that was keeping Firefox off of iOS.Sep 18 18:53
DaemonFCOne reason given by Mozilla was that prior to iOS 8, Apple had supplied third-party browsers with an inferior version of their JavaScript engine which hobbled their performance, making it impossible to match Safari's JavaScript performance on the iOS platform.[156] Apple later opened their "Nitro" JavaScript engine to third-party browsers.[157]Sep 18 18:54

DaemonFCSP2 didn't make huge security improvements in XP.Sep 18 19:00
DaemonFCIt was a proverbial bandaid on the equally proverbial broken leg.Sep 18 19:00
DaemonFCIt was released purely to make the media report that Microsoft had done something about the persistent security problems on XP.Sep 18 19:01
DaemonFCI was in the Service Pack 2 testing program, so I got it before anyone else did.Sep 18 19:02
DaemonFCThe main difference is after I installed it, some programs that previously worked crashed. So Microsoft ended up backing out some security features to make programs work again. :PSep 18 19:03

DaemonFCJust now · Sep 18 21:15
DaemonFCThere are so many gaps in Microsoft Edge's extensions platform as to render it nearly useless. Microsoft says work is ongoing, but since it refuses to make a proper app out of Edge, it still gets its updates with Windows, so that will take another 8-9 months. We'll be well into next year before Adblock Plus works properly.Sep 18 21:15
DaemonFCDoes Edge use less power? Well, maybe technically, but you'll spend so much extra time trying to deal with a less-than-ideal browsing experience (including trying to read past the ads in your search results that aren't being blocked) that it'll take longer to get stuff done, thus undoing most of the efficiency it gives you vs. Chrome 53, which made some huge gains in power consumption itself.Sep 18 21:15

DaemonFCLooks like Lenovo not only locked the RAID mode in at the BIOS level, they encrypted and signed the BIOS, Authenticode style, so you can't modify it.Sep 18 23:46
DaemonFCLinux doesn't seem to be able to use the Samsung SSD in the Yoga 900 ultrabook because of this.Sep 18 23:46
DaemonFCSo there does not appear to be any way to run any OS but Windows 10 on this machine.Sep 18 23:48

DaemonFCcubexyz, You can run it, you just can't install it.Sep 18 23:59
DaemonFCLenovo says that they may fix it, but I'd imagine that Linux will implement a workaround before that happens.Sep 19 00:02
DaemonFCSome kind of special RAID mode that Linux doesn't support.Sep 19 00:02
DaemonFCOther ultrabook OEMs have fixed the issue by a BIOS update that lets you put it in AHCI/SATA mode.Sep 19 00:03
DaemonFCSome users have reported that the Windows 10 installer doesn't reccognize it either.Sep 19 00:04
DaemonFCBut that might have changed. There is new install media for the Anniversary Edition.Sep 19 00:04
DaemonFCAccording to another user, you can add drivers for the SSD into the Windows 10 install image and then it will see the SSD. That doesn't help with Linux though.Sep 19 00:10
DaemonFCLooks like the latest BIOS update that Lenovo put on their support site is three versions behind the one installed on my computer.Sep 19 00:44
DaemonFCNo release notes or any mention at all of the version on my computer.Sep 19 00:44

schestowitzantilope: hiSep 19 12:31
schestowitzantilope: what's up?Sep 19 12:32
antilopeI like to read your news on the EPO! I am an examinerSep 19 12:32
antilopemany of follow your sire (at home..)Sep 19 12:33
antilopesiteSep 19 12:33
antilopeis there a topic on which you are really interested for info? I mean patent wise, not those subjects like Topic, Bergot etc...Sep 19 12:35
schestowitzthanks, let me thinkSep 19 12:36
antilopeI for example got a list with EP grants that are not new .... where the search work was soooo apalling you can hardly believe itSep 19 12:37
schestowitzI think patent scope (what I covered before the BB scandals) is importanytSep 19 12:37
antilopebecause that is the latest develoment, Munich style searches become standard...Sep 19 12:37
antilopeaha that is interesting indeedSep 19 12:38
schestowitzI lack information about the stocks and the nature of patents, e.g. softwareSep 19 12:38
antilopeaha for us quite easy to find in the overall workload systemSep 19 12:38
schestowitzEPO promotes software patents in Twitter a lot this month, much to our shock (FFII also)Sep 19 12:38
schestowitzthey call it "computer-implemented" usuallySep 19 12:39
schestowitzor CIISep 19 12:39
antilopeour guess is, within 2 to 3 years we are out of stock (also for examination) and than the big question is what next with us examinersSep 19 12:39
antilopeI also sometimes grant controllers, but it is in mz case always linked to an apparatus (a control for ...)Sep 19 12:40
schestowitzWorry for examiners, yesSep 19 12:40
schestowitzi worry about all those patents that sneaked in and are of low qualitySep 19 12:40
schestowitzincluding patents on plants, algorithms, etc.Sep 19 12:40
schestowitzthe apparatus thing is the loophole of BrimelowSep 19 12:41
schestowitzthe "as such" thing, which means say it's connected to a "device" or "apparatus" to make it look not abstractSep 19 12:41
antilopethere are plenty bad grants, but it is now getting an epidemiaSep 19 12:41
schestowitzEPO (in Twitter) not actually advertises these loopholes, it helps applicants get around the rules to increase "productivity" I suppose, or "production"Sep 19 12:42
schestowitzany information related to this would be handySep 19 12:42
antilopethe question is, are patents a goal or just a meansSep 19 12:42
schestowitzwithout patent numbers as that can reveal identity of examiners assigned theseSep 19 12:42
antilopeI will think a bit for you and keep you updated under this nameSep 19 12:42
schestowitzantilope: Battistelli studied in ENASep 19 12:43
schestowitzI don't think he even knows what patent systems are forSep 19 12:43
schestowitzINPI wasn't just for patentsSep 19 12:43
schestowitzalso trademarks, like that Wine branding thing of oligarchs in FranceSep 19 12:43
antilopewe all know this, in our opinion he is not the worst but that is minnoyeSep 19 12:43
antilopehe is the real kind slayer, the one who makes the big damage to the EPOSep 19 12:44
schestowitzI don't know enough about him, except that old ILO appeal where he's mentionedSep 19 12:44
antilopeCPC is killing usSep 19 12:44
antilopeking slayerSep 19 12:44
schestowitzwhat's CPC, pardon?Sep 19 12:44
antilopethe classification project with the USSep 19 12:44
schestowitzI think that the EPO wants to attract mirrored applications at the EPOSep 19 12:45
schestowitzso that all those patent trolls can get a patent extended to the EPOSep 19 12:45
schestowitzwith or without the UPCSep 19 12:45
schestowitzand then troll European companies, tooSep 19 12:45
antilopebasically, a lot of the "production increases" got paid by putting less man hours in the classification activitiesSep 19 12:45
schestowitzthis would hurt a lot more than just examiners, also Birtish companies here that deal with softwareSep 19 12:46
schestowitzso it's not production, it's grantSep 19 12:46
antilopewe say; He who controls the classification in fact controls the patent qualitySep 19 12:46
schestowitzproduction as measured in grants, not hours put inSep 19 12:46
antilopeyes, believe me, this year 2016 will see an enormous rise in grants, sure for me (I guess it will be like 30 % up)Sep 19 12:47
antilopewe now (as today) grant a lot of stuff that was 10 - 15 years ready on the shelvesSep 19 12:47
antilopemy oldest one in the docket has a prority date from 1997...curious what will happen after we pass that daySep 19 12:48
antilopemeanwhile we neglect collectively the classification system, no maintenance, no new development, no one feeld responsible anymoreSep 19 12:49

antilopethe next funny event to come is 14 Oct. a social conference one day before AC meetingSep 19 12:52
schestowitzHave these issues been raised to politicians?Sep 19 12:52
schestowitzThe social issues typically take up all the iotaSep 19 12:52
antilopeno of course not, what do they know??Sep 19 12:53
schestowitzthey barely understand what patents areSep 19 12:53
antilopeI agreeSep 19 12:53
schestowitzunless you say something like "innovation" or "R&D"Sep 19 12:53
antilopeit is sometimes....Sep 19 12:53
antilopebut usually notSep 19 12:53
schestowitzis the social conference really a conference?Sep 19 12:53
schestowitzLike something to be organised for media impact?Sep 19 12:54
antilopeit will go from top to root...Sep 19 12:54
schestowitzSocial study became "conference" some months backSep 19 12:54
antilopeit will be sold as a successSep 19 12:54
schestowitzI need to undermine these lies about the social situationSep 19 12:54
antilopeand only the "recognized" union ie. FFPE is invited (SUEPO of course not)Sep 19 12:54
schestowitzbut they have a high-budgeted FTI Consulting contractsSep 19 12:54
schestowitzand I know some journalists whose bosses tell them to repeat the EPO's "news" du jour, as per the press releasesSep 19 12:55
antilopeit is in a way a media warSep 19 12:55
schestowitzFFPE is dead credibility-wiseSep 19 12:55
antilopeof course they areSep 19 12:55
schestowitzany journalists who chararcterise them as representatives of staff would be viewed as clueless, corrupt, or useful idiotsSep 19 12:55
antilopeI agreeSep 19 12:55
schestowitzyes, there's a media struggleSep 19 12:56
schestowitzSZ are now trying to prove they're not silencedSep 19 12:56
schestowitzbut it's too little, too lateeSep 19 12:56
schestowitzThere's infighting thereSep 19 12:56
schestowitzand money at stakeSep 19 12:56

antilopelet me explain. for most EPO issue money is not really a problem , but just a meansSep 19 12:57
schestowitzin exchange for - ahem - 'fair' coverage ahead of releasesSep 19 12:57
schestowitzit's a problem when  this money corrupts the mediaSep 19 12:57
schestowitzand then the public is being sold -literally- a lieSep 19 12:58
schestowitzit will happen next monthSep 19 12:58
schestowitz"EPO staff is happy about reforms" etc.Sep 19 12:58
antilopefor us, it is the whole set up with this weak AC on top of the water head that is the problemSep 19 12:58
schestowitzThey already paid some big papers, inc. The Financial Times of LondonSep 19 12:58
antilopeplus that seriously not a single politician is interestedSep 19 12:58
schestowitzbusiness people read these, they don't bother with blogs or suepo.orgSep 19 12:58
schestowitzpoliticians can't helpSep 19 12:59
schestowitz1. because epo is non-eu bodySep 19 12:59
antilopesuepo, of which I am not a memer, is quite moderate in the last yearsSep 19 12:59
schestowitz2. there's nothing for them to gain, unless it's a french opposition (to sarkozy) partySep 19 12:59
schestowitzwe need more leaks from the EPOSep 19 12:59
schestowitzlike E-mails that show how the system got 'cooked' to increase grantsSep 19 12:59
schestowitzthat would harm those who plotted this courseSep 19 13:00
schestowitzGrant Philpott shat himself when I did this and I got nasty lettersSep 19 13:00
schestowitzone day I'll rerelease thatSep 19 13:00
schestowitzthe main question is, antilope, what to show for maximal impactSep 19 13:02
schestowitzsometimes they say things they really shouldn't be sayingSep 19 13:02
schestowitzand once seen from the outside they need to own up to itSep 19 13:02
antilopeI do not want to harm, but what we need is a transparant system without secret working contracts, without paid coverage, and without badly searched appliationsSep 19 13:02
antilopeby the way, all of us love your Topic coverage!!Sep 19 13:03
schestowitzthat would work, but they won't do that out of goodwillSep 19 13:03
schestowitzyou need to impose transparencySep 19 13:03
antilopeI sat with him, what a complete ........Sep 19 13:03

schestowitzUnless there's something more recentSep 19 13:08
schestowitzI leaked some internal comms about it at the timeSep 19 13:08
schestowitzI can link to it as "old news", I need new material if this has escalated since that iranian bloke went on a shooting spree in MunichSep 19 13:08
antilopeno no no-one is really interested in the EPO, believe me, you can shoot a cannon and only a few will wake upSep 19 13:09
antilope20 million for the reward package...a shitty deal for usSep 19 13:10
antilopewe are being separated in the Have's and Have-notsSep 19 13:10
schestowitzwhat's this package?Sep 19 13:11
schestowitzA collective award to staff?Sep 19 13:11
schestowitzto be split among them?Sep 19 13:11
antilopeOf course, last 2015 all directors and principal directors got heavily rewarded...but the examiners notSep 19 13:12
antilopeyes 9 million for pensionable awards like salary step increases, and the rest for 2 types of bonuses and one-off rewardsSep 19 13:13
schestowitzthey increased "production"Sep 19 13:13
schestowitzby planning a s***y systemSep 19 13:13
schestowitzwhere the priority is to empty the shelves, not properly separate the wheat from the chaffSep 19 13:13
antilopeno they did nothing, it was the examiners and the administrative staff, you should have seen the huge piles with grants it was incredibleSep 19 13:13
schestowitzanother USPTO in the makingSep 19 13:14
antilopeI mean piles to the ceiling, earlier this yearSep 19 13:14
schestowitzapplicants were probably happySep 19 13:14
schestowitzuntil later on, when they find out EPs are losing valueSep 19 13:14
schestowitzand people distrust EPsSep 19 13:14
antilopewe are now basicallz emptying our stock (examination) and it is going pretty fastSep 19 13:14
antilopeyou are fully rightSep 19 13:14
schestowitzit's easySep 19 13:15
schestowitzchecked this, checked thatSep 19 13:15
schestowitzdidn't find anythingSep 19 13:15
schestowitzdecision: grantSep 19 13:15
schestowitzit's not even like you have to produce anything, just say "found nothing"Sep 19 13:15
antilopeand the good news is, we are even rewarded in case op oppositions!Sep 19 13:15
schestowitzwhat is that?Sep 19 13:16
schestowitzwas ist das?Sep 19 13:16
schestowitzcase op?Sep 19 13:16
antiloperemark: The bulk what is granted now has still pretty good search reports, but that is going to change quicklySep 19 13:16
antilopein case of an opposition, we get time like 2 or 3 days Sep 19 13:16
antilopethat is good for our productivitySep 19 13:17
antilopesome dicrectorates got 3 times more oppo's as their counterpart (which should be kind of identical)Sep 19 13:17
antilopethe new mantra is: TimelinessSep 19 13:18
antilopeBut not a single applicant is interested  in this , they want qualitySep 19 13:18
schestowitzor "earlySep 19 13:18
schestowitz"?Sep 19 13:18
schestowitzapplicants want quality?Sep 19 13:18
schestowitzDoubt itSep 19 13:18
schestowitzthey want collective qualitySep 19 13:18
schestowitzeven those who are not applicants and can be sued/shaken downSep 19 13:19
schestowitzquality is a long-term reputational thingSep 19 13:19
schestowitztake universities for exampleSep 19 13:19
schestowitzmy friend's partner has her phd viva in 1.5 weeksSep 19 13:19
schestowitzthey can just let her passSep 19 13:19
schestowitzand they're rewarded for itSep 19 13:19
antilopeyes believe me, if you put so much money in your patent portfolio you want a certain quality I have been in at least 20 huge companies and they all conveyed this message (think of: Philips, Daikin, Mitsubishi, Honeywell etc etc)Sep 19 13:20
schestowitzbut at what stage does a university accept so many theses that it's just considered to be a crap university? Same situation at the EPO now..Sep 19 13:20
schestowitzwell, they want the veneer of EPO stampSep 19 13:20
schestowitzto maybe convince the companies they come to meet about "licensing"Sep 19 13:20
antilopethere are still capable courts active in Europe who decide on the validity of a patentSep 19 13:21
schestowitzbut when EPO is associated with patent disputed and trashed in court (see Apple) they'll think twice before suingSep 19 13:21
schestowitzand companies might refuse to pay upSep 19 13:21
schestowitza patent is just a negotiation cardSep 19 13:21
antilopedepends on how strong it isSep 19 13:21
schestowitzand EPs will lose their compelling value if the public finds out how shallow the examination is/wasSep 19 13:21
antilopeEPI pen in the US is another perfect example, complete bogus of courseSep 19 13:22

DaemonFCschestowitz, I left a bunch of one star reviews of the Yoga 900 ISK2 explaining the Linux issue. They locked the SSD into some weird RAID mode so that Linux can't be installed.Sep 20 04:40
DaemonFCSome guy managed to tweak the BIOS image and hook up a flasher to get around Lenovo's signature check, and was able to go into AHCI mode and install Linux.Sep 20 04:40

DaemonFCI made some suggestions to file bugs in the major Linux distributions bug trackers, try installing Fedora Rawhide to see what the latest Linux does on this system, and maybe get in touch with Matthew Garrett and see if he'd take a crack at it.Sep 20 18:22
DaemonFCI ended with this:Sep 20 18:22
DaemonFCIt's time to go to some people outside of Lenovo to get this thing fixed. It's completely obvious to me (my opinion) after reading these posts that what Lenovo did was both intentional and malicious and if we stand around waiting for them to fix the problem, we'll be stuck with Windows 10 forever. Their past history with the Superfish malware and the BIOS that reinstalled their crapware bundle even in a clean Windows install from Sep 20 18:22
DaemonFCMicrosoft's ISO only bolster my belief that this was deliberate.Sep 20 18:22
DaemonFCI added:Sep 20 18:26
DaemonFCIn the meantime, we should go post this information on reviews of this computer so that people know what Lenovo did. Also comment on their Facebook posts. Let's turn up the heat on them until they release a BIOS update that fixes this.Sep 20 18:26

DaemonFCI'd be interested in hearing from people who have a model that just so happens to not be able to run Linux, but if Lenovo's "deal" with Microsoft is any indication, this all came about in October of last year.Sep 21 01:17
DaemonFCThe original ISK Yoga 900 can run Linux, and the ISK2 is an "upgrade" that comes with a Iris 540 graphics adapter instead of the HD 520 that came with the original Yoga 900. So I bought the ISK2 thinking I was basically getting bumped up to a 60% faster graphics chip, no strings attached.Sep 21 01:17

DaemonFCI bought a Lenovo Yoga 900 ISK2 Ultrabook at Best Buy and then found out that Linux can’t be installed on it.Sep 21 03:17
DaemonFCI ended up going around in circles on the Lenovo support forum and then finally posted a negative review on Best Buy. A Lenovo employee replied that they locked the machine to prevent Linux from being installed due to their “Signature Edition” agreement for Windows 10 with Microsoft.Sep 21 03:17
DaemonFCI posted all about this on Lenovo’s forum and they are trying to delete the thread (one of the links still works, it’s in Google’s Cache, and we are backing it all up to the Wayback Machine while it’s still visible).Sep 21 03:17
DaemonFCI posted a Reddit thread about the issue:Sep 21 03:17

DaemonFCA Microsoft Signature PC is supposed to be a special version of an OEM's regular model that comes without any crapware.Sep 21 04:24
DaemonFCAccording to an article I read, there can be over thirty crap programs included on the average retail PC, including trial versions, questionable utilities, self-promoting spam from the OEM, etc. Strangely enough, Microsoft excluded trial copies of MS Office from the requirement to not have bloatware. So I did have one program to uninstall.Sep 21 04:24
DaemonFCApparently, "Signature" is now going to mean "only runs Windows", and since all computers OEMs put in the Microsoft Store have to be "Signature", that's all of those, and maybe the OEMs will decide to lock down the non-Signature models too so they don't have to maintain two BIOSes. So eventually there may not be a safe place to buy an OEM PC.Sep 21 04:24
schestowitzwait until they extend the programmeSep 21 04:24

DaemonFCIt's actually worse. The PC has always been an "open" platform and meant for general purpose computing. Before Microsoft imposed UEFI BIOS (bugs and all), Secure Boot, and now restrictions like the one introduced into Lenovo's UEFI BIOS firmware, we sometimes had problems running Linux on a PC, but with workarounds, usually involving watching how Windows handled things, Linux eventually worked pretty well on most computers. Since UEFI Sep 21 05:12
DaemonFCreplaced the traditional BIOS, we've had a huge mess on our hands, sometimes even when the computer isn't trying to stop Linux from installing or running. This new Microsoft restriction on general purpose PCs is, I believe, the first step in making a PC more like an iPhone. First they will take away our ability to run other operating systems, then they'll eventually impose restrictions on what you can install, maybe even forcing us to use Sep 21 05:12
DaemonFCthe Windows Store, where they decide what programs are allowed in, then siphon off 30% of the developers profits, add no value, and make software more expensive for everybody. Does anyone really want to live in that world?Sep 21 05:12

DaemonFCschestowitz, I wrote this to Alexander Martin. I also told him to call me late this evening.Sep 21 05:56
DaemonFCMost of the stuff that I know about the issue with these systems, I actually learned from the Lenovo Support Forum thread that is linked in the Reddit post. I tried booting up several Linux live images. The usual. Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian. I couldn’t install to anything because the SSD never came up. There’s an NVMe SSD in these laptops, which Linux supports. And I understand you should be able to see it in /dev/nvme0 or something lSep 21 05:56
DaemonFCike that, but no, nothing. And the usual commands like to check for PCI-E devices showed no SSD there. So I went to the forums and learned that Lenovo locked it to some sort of RAID mode, and then they not only patched the system firmware setup utility to hide the option to put it into AHCI mode (in fact, there’s no storage device mode settings in there at all), but they apparently wrote more code to put it back in RAID mode if you goSep 21 05:57
DaemonFCt cute and tried setting the mode to AHCI in EFI Shell. So everything that I was likely to think of to work around the issue, and probably more, was covered in the support thread. And none of it worked. Somewhere along the way, a Lenovo support person said they escalated it to the BIOS development team. That was months ago. No word on anything yet. The latest BIOS revision posted in the drivers section is version 5 from April. My PC is Sep 21 05:57
DaemonFCrunning version 8 dated June 22. No release notes from Lenovo along the way. Nothing like that. So they’ve had this computer on the market for nearly a year, revised the BIOS 8 times. We know they patched out the setting and wrote more code to force it to stay in RAID mode. If they wanted this fixed, it would be fixed. I even reached out to Matthew Garrett who suggested that maybe Linux just doesn’t support driving an AHCI deviceSep 21 05:57
DaemonFC in RAID mode. So I became exasperated and left a one star review on Best Buy, which it pained me to do. This system has some really awesome hardware in it. A Lenovo employee responded and said that the laptop is “locked” due to their “Signature Edition” agreement for Windows 10 with Microsoft.Sep 21 05:57
DaemonFCSo that got my blood boiling. Sep 21 05:57
DaemonFCSo I’ve been in this conversation on Lenovo’s forums and a guy said that he modded the BIOS and used an external flasher to get around Lenovo’s signature checks and put it in AHCI mode. The code was all still there, just hidden. He reported that Windows and Linux both run great on his machine.Sep 21 05:57
DaemonFCSo, Linux doesn’t support the RAID mode, but it does support the AHCI mode that this guy managed to unlock on his device (but the solution wouldn’t scale because of the complexity of doing all of that), so this combined with Lenovo’s response to my Best Buy review tells us that Microsoft wanted them to break Linux, and this was a way to break Linux. (Some people are confusing this with Secure Boot, which you can turn off onSep 21 05:57
DaemonFC this machine, but which is not the problem. Linux boots in Secure Boot mode or with it off. ) And it’s a way to break Linux that makes Linux look like it might be the party at fault. It’s not like it would be the first time they had the idea. There was the infamous AARD code. (Makes for a good Wikipedia read.)Sep 21 05:57
DaemonFCSo, is Microsoft telling their PC OEM partners to break Linux in ways that make people think it’s problems with Linux? It’s plausible. Especially since Lenovo told me they “locked” the computer. This is a really awful and hacky way to “lock” it, but whatever gets the job done. Right?Sep 21 05:57

DaemonFCGood day,Sep 21 13:15
DaemonFCMy name is Robert N. Adams and I write for TechRaptor.net, a gaming, technology, and tabletop site.Sep 21 13:15
DaemonFCI'm working on a news piece relating to the issue you are experiencing with the Yoga 900 and would like to ask you a few questions regarding your experience to use in the article.Sep 21 13:15
DaemonFCDo you believe that the inability to install Linux due to a BIOS setting is a deliberate choice by Lenovo or do you believe that it is a side effect of unrelated design decisions in the BIOS?Sep 21 13:15
DaemonFCWhat do you think the reasoning for these BIOs settings being in place is in the event that these BIOS settings were employed in the Yoga 900 at Microsoft's behest?Sep 21 13:15
DaemonFCDo you feel that BIOS settings of this nature ought to be disclosed more clearly prior to purchasing of a product?Sep 21 13:15
DaemonFCDo you have any further commentary on this matter?Sep 21 13:15
DaemonFCAnything you say may or may not be used as a portion of the news piece provided that I get a response from you in time. It also has to pass through editorial, and that means that your interview may be trimmed down for readability or cut entirely. The article itself may not go to press in a timely fashion or at all. It's unlikely, but it's a possibility that I want you to be aware of just in case things don't work out.Sep 21 13:15
DaemonFCI can full well understand that you may be reluctant to comment on this issue. If you would prefer not to answer any questions or state anything off the record that would be fine. I would really appreciate a "no comment" reply or similar if you would prefer not to say anything.Sep 21 13:16
DaemonFCRegardless of your response, if the article goes to press it will indicate that I have reached out to you in this fashion. (It will state something like "We have reached out to the creator of the Reddit post.") Our editors are not yet awake, so I may also have follow-up questions in addition to these should you choose to respond and if we move forward with the article.Sep 21 13:16
DaemonFCLastly, I will be reaching out to the companies involved and I'm currently engaged in researching this topic myself. I will be doing a bit more than simply copy/pasting the content of your post or anything like that.Sep 21 13:16

DaemonFCHello Robert,Sep 21 13:16
DaemonFCI'll try to answer your questions in order here.Sep 21 13:16
DaemonFCI think that it was a deliberate design choice made by Lenovo, and I say that because the BIOS code that they use has AHCI mode available for the storage device, which Linux and Windows understand without any special drivers. Lenovo patched the code to remove the AHCI mode from the BIOS setup utility and then they wrote additional code to make sure that you can't set AHCI mode with an EFI variable using EFI shell. So, I'd say it's Sep 21 13:16
schestowitzTervy: not yet, thanks, will add it into our daily links in techrightsSep 21 13:16
DaemonFCdefinitely deliberate, and can't see any LEGITIMATE reason why they would have. It isn't really faster, it makes recovering Windows from Microsoft's installer very difficult if you have to later. About the only thing putting a single SSD setup into RAID mode using the BIOS gives you is (a) Linux won't be able to use the storage and (b) greater potential for data loss. Also, given that the Lenovo employee said that they caused the issue to Sep 21 13:16
DaemonFC"lock" the system to Windows per their agreement with Microsoft....Well, why wouldn't I believe them? Lenovo's official statement to the media has been "Unfortunately, [we] cannot confirm our relationship to the person at Best Buy.", and I find that odd because it said "Lenovo" on the signature of their reply. So they're throwing their employee under the bus.Sep 21 13:16
DaemonFCI think that Microsoft and Lenovo agreed to lock Linux out, and forcing RAID mode accomplishes that. In the last 11 months, nobody except one Lenovo forum poster that used a modded BIOS and an external flasher to get around Lenovo's signature check on BIOS updates has managed to install Linux on the Yoga models affected by this. I believe that Lenovo and Microsoft figured that if Linux ever did get driver support for this configuration, Sep 21 13:16
DaemonFCthat it would be years after the product was released, so it might as well be forever. Most people replace their laptop every 5 years or less, so almost nobody would ever be able to run Linux on the Yoga laptops while in their designed service life.Sep 21 13:17
DaemonFCI think that if you're going to sell someone a general purpose computer where installing an operating system is going to be difficult or impossible, you should have to say that on the packaging or on the website description.Sep 21 13:17
DaemonFCYes, I do have a further comment.Sep 21 13:17
DaemonFCI think that Lenovo's official reply is insufficient and carefully worded. They talk about how much they love to support Linux and then say that they don't support Linux on many of their own laptops. Actions speak louder than words, and there's no technical reason other than the BIOS RAID mode lock why the Yoga 900 ISK2 and other affected systems wouldn't be great Linux machines. I also think that locking down the thread and editing peoples Sep 21 13:17
DaemonFCcomments and then blaming forum posters for being "disruptive" was uncalled for, and they're obviously trying to turn this around and make it seem like I am overreacting or somehow I'm at fault for what they did. And unfortunately, some of the media reports have taken up this narrative instead of looking into why Lenovo would do such things to their computers. There is no REAL issue with Linux not supporting these laptops other than the one Sep 21 13:17
DaemonFCLenovo created. They need to make a BIOS patch that users can install, like other Ultrabook PC makers did, not more excuses.Sep 21 13:17

DaemonFC Sep 21 15:04
DaemonFCI like how he admits he doesn't know for sure and then speculates that it may be related to power management.Sep 21 15:04
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-mjg59.dreamwidth.org | mjg59 | Microsoft aren't forcing Lenovo to block free operating systemsSep 21 15:04
DaemonFC Sep 21 15:04
DaemonFCBut then he insists that it's not Lenovo trying to lock out other operating systems. How does he know?Sep 21 15:04
DaemonFC Sep 21 15:04
DaemonFCEven if the device would get worse battery life (which we don't know that it would, and nobody who booted up Linux on the ISK model or Live on the ISK2 reported their laptop "melting"), it should be up to the user.Sep 21 15:04
DaemonFC Sep 21 15:04
DaemonFCHe says that if his hunch is right, it's a cheap hack to work around lousy power management in the default Windows storage driver, and Lenovo probably did it to prevent a user from ending up toggling it in the BIOS setup program by mistake and ending up with Windows not booting, or lousy power management if it did.Sep 21 15:04
DaemonFC Sep 21 15:04
DaemonFCIf it was to prevent a clueless user from ending up in that situation where Windows wouldn't boot if they toggled it to AHCI mode, then why did Lenovo write code to make sure that if you used an EFI variable to set it, that it would switch it back to RAID? Is a user that doesn't know what they're doing likely to be in the EFI shell?Sep 21 15:04
DaemonFC Sep 21 15:04
DaemonFCDo we know Linux has lousy power management like Windows does? I don't think we know that at this point.Sep 21 15:04
DaemonFC Sep 21 15:04
DaemonFCIt would be nice if we could install Linux and test the hypothesis out, but unfortunately, *someone* made sure that we can't install Linux and see.Sep 21 15:04
DaemonFCI think that Lenovo's official reply is insufficient and carefully constructed.Sep 21 15:04
DaemonFC Sep 21 15:04
DaemonFCThey talk about how much they love to support Linux and then say that they don't support Linux on many of their own laptops.Sep 21 15:04
DaemonFC Sep 21 15:04
DaemonFCActions speak louder than words, and there's no technical reason other than the BIOS RAID mode lock why the Yoga 900 ISK2 and other affected systems wouldn't be great Linux machines.Sep 21 15:04
DaemonFC Sep 21 15:04
DaemonFCI also think that locking down the thread and editing peoples comments and then blaming forum posters for being "disruptive" was uncalled for, and they're obviously trying to turn this around and make it seem like I am overreacting or somehow I'm at fault for what they did.Sep 21 15:04
DaemonFC Sep 21 15:04
DaemonFCAnd unfortunately, some of the media reports have taken up this narrative instead of looking into why Lenovo would do such things to their computers. There is no REAL issue with Linux not supporting these laptops other than the one Lenovo created. They need to make a BIOS patch that users can install, like other Ultrabook PC makers did, not more excuses.Sep 21 15:04
DaemonFC Sep 21 15:05

DaemonFCLenovo just issued a press release praising Windows 10. Windows 10 is so unstable on the Yoga 900 that updates freeze (I had to get the offline update package for the last cumulative update because it kept stalling out at 45%), the Bluetooth glitches all the time and says to restart the computer because you paired your headphones, and I've had lots of other weird problems with Windows 10. I doubt any OS could be more annoying. Microsoft Sep 21 23:37

DaemonFCThe funniest part was they said that flipping it into tablet mode might not work right in Linux. Tablet mode is a gimmick because these things are just too heavy to use in that mode. They're easily three times heavier than an Android tablet and so that mode isn't incredibly useful. I wouldn't care if it didn't work because I never use that mode anyway.Sep 21 23:38

DaemonFCThe customer is _always_ right. If your customer wants to run Linux on their computer, then there shouldn't be artificial barriers constructed and excuses made. It should be able to go into a mode where Linux works.Sep 21 23:38

DaemonFCI've been using PCs since the 1980s. I got my first one when I was five, and Windows 10 is one of my least favorite operating systems ever. When Windows Vista came along and it ran poorly on my laptop, I didn't have to return the laptop to the store because I installed Linux and I used Linux for close to a decade. Not a single Windows machine in the house. I'm just wondering why I can't do the same thing here. If other people think Windows Sep 21 23:38

DaemonFCFreedom doesn't flow from the barrel of a gun, and what you're doing right now is quietly breaking Linux and slipping it in as an upgrade to a computer (Yoga 900) whose original model made it sound like a fantastic Linux machine, then playing gotcha games with users who are stuck on Windows 10.

DaemonFCThe FSF hasn't been as careful in selecting their board members as they should have been on several occasions, including when they let Miguel de Icaza in, who ran a company trying to get Microsoft technologies into Linux in ways that are legally dangerous to use.

DaemonFCAccording to Matthew Garrett, putting it in RAID forces it to bypass the Windows driver which has horrible power management functionality and load Intel's driver instead. So if that's the case, Lenovo is hacking around a problem with Windows power management. He blames Intel and says that they won't even tell Microsoft how power management works. I find that hard to believe considering that most Intel hardware is extensively documented. Sep 21 23:45
DaemonFCThey even have a dedicated open source team writing Linux graphics drivers that don't make you install flakey proprietary crap like some graphics card companies. We all know the one I speak of, but I don't want to say the name and risk provoking moderators.Sep 21 23:45
DaemonFC Sep 21 23:45
DaemonFCAnyway, I doubt that Microsoft couldn't get the documents for power management from Intel. They're in a position to demand anything they want.Sep 21 23:45
DaemonFC Sep 21 23:46
DaemonFCSo I respectfully disagree with Mr. Garrett about this being a power management issue, primarily. If people want to sacrifice battery life, that's their business, if in fact that is an issue with Linux. I welcome people who can run Linux to compare the runtime on a battery charge in Linux to the runtime on Windows. I would be very interested in those numbers so we're dealing with a known fact. But I'd like to run Linux even if I lose a few Sep 21 23:46

DaemonFCIt's a fake RAID set up to bypass a Windows storage driver with horrible power management issues, at least according to Matthew Garrett. I'm sorry that people so high up in the FSF and the Linux world can be so defeatist in their thinking.Sep 21 23:52
DaemonFCIn a way, having to listen to "It's our fault for not supporting RAID mode on a system that shouldn't be in RAID mode." or some version of it every time a PC OEM does something bonehead stupid or evil is like listening to a battered woman explain to the police why it's not her abusive boyfriend's fault that he got drunk and bashed her head into the wall.Sep 21 23:52

DaemonFCWhen you are responding to a forum that users are looking for linux, it means most of them have more than usual interaction with computer, so first of all when we install linux we know there could be some driver issues and we would manage it ourselves, you can simply say you don't support linux, so you won't answer any questions about linux. "Our Yoga design requires very specific, complex and unique drivers that require even greater Sep 22 01:11
DaemonFCamounts of testing" could be super magical for typical users, but for us it could be just our job! We are not in old times that a software bug could break the hardware, there are some protection in hardware. Also as you see many people run the Linux on extra flash disk which uses every resource other than hard disk. And the one who hacked the bios fully utilized it. So don't be over "sympathetic" for us not to run into problems.Sep 22 01:11

DaemonFCThe power management is done in the driver in this case. And since Intel does not disclose how to set up power management properly with these new disk controllers, Linux cannot do proper power management on this hardware, even in AHCI mode.Sep 22 03:27

DaemonFCI guess treating it as a "device" works, until you consider that this isn't like Android at all. This is x86 Windows where you are bound to run into malware or Windows hanging itself eventually and will NEED to recover from installation media, only thanks to Lenovo, that may be difficult. This is even if the user doesn't care about Linux at all.Sep 22 03:27

schestowitz    “I think that Lenovo’s official reply is insufficient and carefully worded. They talk about how much they love to support Linux and then say that they don’t support Linux on many of their own laptops. Actions speak louder than words, and there’s no technical reason other than the BIOS RAID mode lock why the Yoga 900 ISK2 and other affected systems wouldn’t be great Linux machines. I also think that locking down the thread and Sep 22 10:21
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights--> www.winbeta.org | Lenovo responds to Linux blocking issue, issues non-denial denial – WinBetaSep 22 10:21
schestowitzediting peoples comments and then blaming forum posters for being “disruptive” was uncalled for, and they’re obviously trying to turn this around and make it seem like I am overreacting or somehow I’m at fault for what they did. And unfortunately, some of the media reports have taken up this narrative instead of looking into why Lenovo would do such things to their computers. There is no REAL issue with Linux not supporting these Sep 22 10:21
schestowitzlaptops other than the one Lenovo created. They need to make a BIOS patch that users can install, like other Ultrabook PC makers did, not more excuses.”Sep 22 10:21
schestowitz“I think that [the BIOS RAID lock] was a deliberate design choice made by Lenovo, and I say that because the BIOS code that they use has AHCI mode available for the storage device, which Linux and Windows understand without any special drivers. Lenovo patched the code to remove the AHCI mode from the BIOS setup utility and then they wrote additional code to make sure that you can’t set AHCI mode with an EFI variable using EFI shell. So, Sep 22 10:21
schestowitzI’d say it’s definitely deliberate, and can’t see any LEGITIMATE reason why they would have. It isn’t really faster, it makes recovering Windows from Microsoft’s installer very difficult if you have to later. About the only thing putting a single SSD setup into RAID mode using the BIOS gives you is (a) Linux won’t be able to use the storage and (b) greater potential for data loss.”Sep 22 10:21
schestowitz“I think that Microsoft and Lenovo agreed to lock Linux out, and forcing RAID mode accomplishes that. In the last 11 months, nobody except one Lenovo forum poster that used a modded BIOS and an external flasher to get around Lenovo’s signature check on BIOS updates has managed to install Linux on the Yoga models affected by this. I believe that Lenovo and Microsoft figured that if Linux ever did get driver support for this configuration, Sep 22 10:21
schestowitzthat it would be years after the product was released, so it might as well be forever. Most people replace their laptop every 5 years or less, so almost nobody would ever be able to run Linux on the Yoga laptops while in their designed service life.”Sep 22 10:21

DaemonFCschestowitz, I've been writing on Lenovo's forums some more.Sep 22 15:51
DaemonFCSince Lenovo's attack on Linux also impedes setting up Windows from a Microsoft ISO if you ever need to, I worked last night on creating a slipstreamed installer that inludes their Rapid Storage driver so that Windows setup can see the SSD and install to it. I also bundled updated drivers straight from Intel.Sep 22 15:51
DaemonFC Sep 22 15:51
DaemonFCLenovo and Microsoft apparently see "Signature PCs" as a device (like a tablet or a phone with carrier locks), not a real computer, and as such, they have provided no easy way to restore the operating system in the event of a catastrophe that breaks "reset this PC" or makes the system unable to boot in the first place.Sep 22 15:51
DaemonFC Sep 22 15:51
DaemonFCUnlike an Android phone, which has a fairly decent design and a usable software store where Google can all-but-eliminate the possibility of there being malware, Windows 10 is an operating system tha steeped in decades of half-baked Windows code, horrible backwards compatibility garbage, and Microsoft hacks, and is 31 flavors of unreliable (including update installations getting stuck and unable to install and bad updates that cause boot Sep 22 15:51
DaemonFCloops and system freezing, and  it is completely riddled with bugs.Sep 22 15:51
DaemonFC Sep 22 15:51
DaemonFCThe Windows Store has so few decent applications, you can count them on your fingers. So you install most of your software the traditional way of grabbing some EXE off of the internet, and it doesn't look like that will change soon.  So you can't treat these things like a device. And I wonder how many people will end up having to ship their laptop back to Lenovo to get Windows reinstalled. Sep 22 15:51
DaemonFC Sep 22 15:51
DaemonFCOkay, so they have Windows Defender and SmartScreen. That's....something, at least. More than earlier Windows had, but we must remember that several pieces of malware have dodged all major virus scanners (including the ones people pay money for) for years, being completely undetected. Does anyone think that these people aren't testing Windows Defender? The Hacking Team leak showed internal documents including a checklist of antivirus Sep 22 15:51

DaemonFCMinceR, I edited to add this...Sep 22 16:02
DaemonFCJust comparing storage requirements and the optimal amount of installed RAM for each OS, Windows 10 needs approximately 700% more storage space and 200% more RAM than Ubuntu. Some people like to say that Windows 10 is efficient, yet it would require even more space if Microsoft hadn't deployed file compression on much of the Windows folder.Sep 22 16:02
DaemonFCAfter the part about the BBC talking about Ubuntu.Sep 22 16:02
MinceRand even ubuntu is extremely bloatedSep 22 16:02
DaemonFCMinceR, I made another post.Sep 22 16:06
DaemonFCInstalling Linux to a flash drive to use it with the Lenovo Yoga is unacceptable.Sep 22 16:06
DaemonFC Sep 22 16:06
DaemonFCA 512 GB NVMe SSD on Amazon will still set you back by about $350, so using Linux from a flash drive on this computer means that Lenovo has reduced the value of your machine by hundreds of dollars, and USB drives operating over USB 3 are nowhere near as fast as the SSD. Sep 22 16:06
DaemonFC Sep 22 16:06
DaemonFCLenovo and Microsoft know that, which is why they disabled access to this very valuable component if you try to run Linux.Sep 22 16:06
MinceRwell, yeahSep 22 16:07
MinceRif it only precluded booting from the internal device, that would be usable for meSep 22 16:07

MinceRmy FDE skill wasn't high enough to do it when i installed my laptopSep 22 16:07
DaemonFCMinceR, Added...Sep 22 16:08
DaemonFCAnd if some Very Smart People ever figure out a way to make the SSD visible again, I would STRONGLY advise never upgrading the laptop's firmware again, lest they find something else to break.Sep 22 16:08
MinceRindeedSep 22 16:08
MinceRhopefully they won't dare pull shit like this on models marketed to businessesSep 22 16:09

DaemonFCLenovo is a crappy company that actually wrote code enforcing the fake RAID mode by stripping the AHCI mode out of the GUI and then making sure that if you go into EFI Shell and set it yourself that it discards your setting and sets it back. First PC maker I've seen that ships computers that you can't even realistically (for the average user) reinstall Windows on. I will never buy another Lenovo computer again. I had to spend about an hour Sep 22 17:53
DaemonFCgoogling random support topics before I found a recommendation to use Universal Extractor. Then I had to find a beta version of Universal Extractor that supported the archive format in the setup program just to dig the Intel RST driver out of their godawful installer so that I can slipstream it into a Windows installer.Sep 22 17:53
DaemonFCMost people will have to pay to ship it back to Lenovo if Windows needs to be reinstalled, and be unable to use the computer for weeks, and it'll probably have some sensitive, confidential, work-related information on the SSD that someone at Lenovo could copy and steal while it's in their repair center.Sep 22 17:53

DaemonFCI was talking about Matthew Garrett's position, and the overall tendency of Linux developers to fall on their sword every time some PC OEM does something nasty. It's not the fault of Linux that it can't install on the SSD in the Yoga laptops. It's the fault of Lenovo for removing AHCI mode, which would have let it install.Sep 22 18:14
DaemonFCThe fact that Garrett is on the FSF board just shows that they don't always make the best decisions. Like that time they put Miguel de Icaza on the board while he was trying to introduce Microsoft tech that was legally dangerous to use into Linux distributions. Microsoft never issued a patent license for things like Mono. They issued a covenant not to sue. They have sold patents off at auction to patent trolls that proceeded to sue Free Sep 22 18:14

DaemonFCI edited that...Sep 22 18:15
DaemonFCIt's not that I don't think he's unqualified to work on the Linux kernel and other software. I just think that his positions on Free Software and apologizing for Microsoft constantly means that he undermines the FSF's mission. Sep 22 18:15

DaemonFCBecause Microsoft doesn't care, and as long as you need proprietary drivers, it gives Lenovo cover for requiring Windows to work in that mode. Makes the Linux lockout seem like bugs or lack of driver support when the configuration shouldn't have ever existed in the first place.Sep 22 18:18

DaemonFCI updated the Reddit post.Sep 22 20:00
DaemonFChttps://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/53ri0m/warning_microsoft_signature_pc_program_now/Sep 22 20:00
DaemonFCMy response regarding Microsoft and Lenovo's effective joint statement: Microsoft and Lenovo got together and agreed on the lies that they would tell in response to this. The lie is that it's a driver problem. That Linux just doesn't support the fake RAID mode that they forced the storage into when they deliberately sabotaged the BIOS by writing new code to hid AHCI mode and also code to reset the BIOS to their fake RAID mode if the user Sep 22 20:00
DaemonFCused EFI Shell to try setting it to AHCI. Let me make my position clear, that Lenovo is lying through their teeth just like they did with Superfish malware incident. They lied until they couldn't lie anymore. If, by some chance, some Very Smart People ever figure out a way to make the SSD visible again, I would STRONGLY advise never upgrading the laptop's firmware again, lest Microsoft and Lenovo find something else to break and then tell Sep 22 20:00
DaemonFCus "Oops. Better run Windows 10 so you can use our 360 degree hinge! Have we told you about our 360 hinge?".Sep 22 20:00
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.reddit.com | Warning: Microsoft Signature PC program now requires that you can't run Linux. Lenovo's recent Ultrabooks among affected systems. : linuxSep 22 20:00
DaemonFCI believe that if Linux ever gains driver support for the forced fake RAID configuration, that future laptops from Lenovo will just toggle something else so Linux doesn't work on them for a while.Sep 22 20:00
DaemonFCI would strongly advise avoiding the Yoga 910 and Yoga Book when they come out until we find out whether they broke those models as well.Sep 22 20:00
DaemonFCEven if your intent is to never run Linux, Lenovo is the first PC maker I've seen that ships computers that you can't even realistically (for the average user) reinstall Windows on. I will never buy another Lenovo computer again and I will advise others to avoid them whenever the chance arises. I had to spend about an hour googling random support topics before I found a recommendation to use Universal Extractor to get their Windows storage Sep 22 20:00
DaemonFCdriver to use in a Windows installation thumb drive. Then I had to find a beta version of Universal Extractor that supported the archive format in the setup program just to dig the Intel RST driver out of their godawful installer so that I can slipstream it into a Windows installer.Sep 22 20:00
DaemonFCMost people will have to pay to ship it back to Lenovo if Windows needs to be reinstalled, and will be unable to use the computer for weeks, and it'll probably have some sensitive, confidential, work-related information on the SSD that someone at Lenovo could copy and steal while it's in their repair center.Sep 22 20:00
DaemonFCTheir arrogant forum moderator "Andy_Lenovo" posted Lenovo's ridiculous press release to their forum and then marked it as solved. The only part of it that is true is that Linux will likely never be able to install on Yoga laptops, because they are "designed for Windows 10", which in my experience has been unstable and full of bugs (like updates stalling out requiring manual installation from offline packages, telling me to reboot everytime Sep 22 20:01
DaemonFCI pair my bluetooth headphones, etc.). Unfortunately, in addition to Lenovo and Microsoft's lies, Matthew Garrett wrote some more horsefeathers when he blamed Linux for not supporting a storage mode that shouldn't even be in use anyway. He apparently has a long record of apologizing for Microsoft and misleading people, and it's a shame that he's in the FSF. Of course, the FSF has put some other people in high places that have proceeded to Sep 22 20:01
DaemonFCundermine their mission in the past, like Miguel de Icaza.Sep 22 20:01
DaemonFCMaybe it's true that you need "special drivers" to make Windows run, but Microsoft doesn't care. It breaks Linux on Lenovo laptops and then makes it look like the problem is in Linux, when it's actually in Microsoft's storage driver and Microsoft is undoubtedly leaning on Intel to keep the way the RST driver does power management a secret.Sep 22 20:01
DaemonFCTo make sure that you don't accidentally buy a Signature Edition computer, on the demo model, click the start (Windows logo) button, click "about your PC", and under Windows 10 it will say "Signature Edition" if it's part of this program. Also, make sure you try installing Linux before the return period expires. If the Linux installer in Live mode can't see your SSD, stop. Unplug the thumb drive, turn the computer off, and I would recommend Sep 22 20:01
DaemonFCthat you return it. Just tell the store that you decided that you didn't need it or something. It's true.. Nobody needs this kind of aggravation.Sep 22 20:01

DaemonFC–]BaronHK 1 point an hour ago Sep 22 20:52
DaemonFCThere's really no difference between Chrome 53's battery life and Microsoft Edge's. I guess since Microsoft is making a slow, unusable, bug-riddled browser that doesn't really have any extensions to speak of, they have to resort to this. Microsoft Edge got lower scores on Peacekeeper than every other browser I tested.Sep 22 20:52
DaemonFCMicrosoft is obviously running Profile Guided Optimization while running Chakra (Edge's Javascript engine) through Javascript benchmark tests. And it's a shame that they have to lie about battery life because they can't make a browser that anyone wants to use. And it's a shame that they locked Cortana to Microsoft Edge and Bing in Windows 10 Anniversary because nobody wants to use Edge or Bing by choice. Microsoft is a dishonest company. Sep 22 20:52
DaemonFCThere is no "new Microsoft", only new anti-competitive tactics. New lies.Sep 22 20:52

DaemonFCBaronHK 1 point a minute ago Sep 23 02:10
DaemonFCSince the lockout seems to be a new requirement for their partners, ask me again when Microsoft releases the Surface Pro 5. Anyway, a patch to put the hardware back in AHCI mode after the BIOS exits is possibly in the works by Matthew Garrett, so if MSFT uses this method for the lockout, it may not work. I'm sure they'll find something else.Sep 23 02:10
DaemonFCIt has to be embarrassing to them that so many people ditch the nasty bug riddled Windows 10 and blog about how great Linux is on their Surface. I'm sure that's where the Lenovo "agreement" came from. Anyway, it lets them test the waters with someone else's branding on the machine before it gets rolled out elsewhere. And since so many people believe their crap that this wasn't intentional, the next Surface probably will come locked to a Sep 23 02:10

DaemonFC[–]Arkanta [score hidden] 6 minutes ago Sep 23 02:20
DaemonFCA small driver lockout like that is barely a lockout. Locking out the efi secure boot keys, now that's how you permanently fuck linux. Linux is absolutely no threat to MS in the consumer desktop field (you may wank yourself over this summer's >2% marketshare but MS laughs at that), and they're moving to selling services more and more, so this makes no sense.Sep 23 02:20
DaemonFCSorry for your tinfoil hat, but I'm gonna blame intel rather than MS here. I'm also gonna wait for the next surface to laugh at your paranoia even more.Sep 23 02:20

DaemonFCr_schestowitz, https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/542c8t/hardware_hack_enables_linux_support_on_lenovo/Sep 23 05:17
DaemonFCUPDATE: I pinged Matthew Garrett after someone had an idea about having the Linux kernel switch the hardware out of RAID and into AHCI mode AFTER the BIOS hands it over to the kernel, and he said it might work and that he'd see about writing a patch. This would have the practical effect of running Linux in AHCI mode on the Dell XPS, only through a Linux "hardware quirk" to deal with Lenovo doing nothing to fix the BIOS. Actually, Lenovo Sep 23 05:17
DaemonFChasn't done anything through this whole ordeal but lie, lie some more, try to delete evidence, get together with Microsoft and release a joint lie, and then pressure the news media to change their stories.Sep 23 05:17
DaemonFCALSO: According to a comment on this page, some people in Germany report that the European versions of the affected Yoga laptops don't have AHCI mode hidden in the BIOS. Perhaps because the EU takes locking users out of their PCs more seriously than the US government does.Sep 23 05:17

DaemonFCIn context. You need to expand the replies though.Sep 23 15:32
DaemonFC[–]mjg59Social Justice Warrior 19 points 9 hours ago Sep 23 15:33
DaemonFCRyan, you don't appear to know anything more about hardware now than you did when you claimed Foxconn were sabotaging Linux 8 years ago. 2W is about 50% of the idle consumption of a modern laptop. That's several hours of additional battery life. And, as pointed out elsewhere, the issue isn't the SSD itself - it's the fact that an incorrectly configured storage device will prevent the entire CPU package from going into deep sleep states, Sep 23 15:33
DaemonFCpotentially costing you far more power.Sep 23 15:33
DaemonFC[–]BaronHK[S] -8 points 9 hours ago* Sep 23 15:33
DaemonFCThe Dell XPS 13 had an issue where it couldn't go into into full power save mode when idle and the battery runtime went from 11 hours and 54 minutes after the fix. Before the fix it was 9 hours and 37 minutes. And that's not "several" hours, by the way. It's a hit, but not several hours.Sep 23 15:33
DaemonFCI would trade that to run Linux. It's still an all day charge. I've dealt with laptops running Windows that got 3 hours before. I think you're just overlooking how spoiled people have gotten. But whatever...Sep 23 15:33
DaemonFCThere's a cycle of lies being perpetuated by Lenovo in the media right now, as was the case with Superfish (Lenovo lied and lied and it came tumbling down at the end). You don't need to help them by laying all of the blame on Intel. Intel does more for Linux and open source than a lot of companies, like "NoVideo".Sep 23 15:33
DaemonFCLenovo has a PR damage control team on hand contacting the media and telling them to rewrite the story with Lenovo's lies featured in it.Sep 23 15:33
DaemonFCDell, on the other hand, just went ahead and released a new BIOS with AHCI mode when people complained. I guess I know where to take my hard-earned money next time.Sep 23 15:33

DaemonFCI would trade that to run LinuxSep 23 15:33
DaemonFCThat's great! But for most people who own this laptop, it'd be an option that increased their power consumption without providing any benefit. Deciding not to offer that option isn't "blocking" Linux. Deciding not to release and support firmware that provides that option isn't "blocking" Linux. Failing to support it, sure - but there are many vendors who ship hardware that's unsupported by Linux (try installing Linux on a current Macbook, Sep 23 15:33
DaemonFCfor instance), and our failure to support that hardware isn't their problem.Sep 23 15:33
DaemonFC(Nice Social Justice Warrior flair, btw. Do you need a safe space or a trigger word?)Sep 23 15:33
DaemonFCYou're the one responds to criticism by signing people up to spam lists. Sure you're not the one who needs a safe space?Sep 23 15:33
DaemonFC[–]BaronHK[S] 1 point 4 minutes ago Sep 23 15:34
DaemonFC"That's great! But for most people who own this laptop, it'd be an option that increased their power consumption without providing any benefit."Sep 23 15:34
DaemonFCSo having the Linux kernel kick the damned thing back into AHCI mode after the BIOS exits, which will be reset on the next reboot anyway is going to affect Windows users who will never use Linux?Sep 23 15:34
DaemonFCOr maybe an AHCI mode option from Lenovo that says "Warning: Changing this option will lower your battery runtime. Only change it if you know what you are doing!" and then letting people who want to run Linux toggle it? That affects Windows users? Most of them don't even know that there is a BIOS, much less how to get into it during the 1 second window that you have to hit the key to get into the setup.Sep 23 15:34
DaemonFC"Our failure to support that hardware isn't their problem."Sep 23 15:34
DaemonFCThe failure is that Linux doesn't know how to deal with this insanity and kick the system back out to AHCI mode so it WORKS with maybe 8-10% less runtime on the battery (if the XPS is a good example of what happens in AHCI mode) until the day when Linux developers know what to do to get ideal power management on the hardware. NOT WORKING AT ALL is worse than not working ideally.Sep 23 15:34
DaemonFCThat's the real failure here. And if it can be fixed with a few lines of code and it won't be, because we're supposed to wait on those assholes at Lenovo to do something official with the BIOS (which they never will because they already said they won't, and even mentioned the Microsoft deal before they walked it back) then that's even worse.Sep 23 15:34
DaemonFCYou've bashed Intel before because of your "SJW" crap. So, how do we know you're being fair to Intel?Sep 23 15:34
DaemonFC"You're the one responds to criticism by signing people up to spam lists."Sep 23 15:34
DaemonFCFirst of all.....you're still blaming me for that even though I already clearly stated that I had no idea what you were on about. Secondly, that was eight years ago? Jesus....Sep 23 15:34

DaemonFCFuck right off.Sep 23 15:35
DaemonFCI don't particularly like some of mjg's social stances, and I'd happily argue with him if I met him, but the guy's technical abilities are top notch. Shit, he probably knows more about various bits of Lenovo hardware from experience alone than some of the folks at Lenovo (I can personally confirm he definitely knows more than some of the mid-level people there...)Sep 23 15:35
DaemonFCHis positions on various social issues are irrelevant to his expertise on the matter at hand. And -- unlike you -- he does have expertise.Sep 23 15:35
DaemonFC(Lenovo lied and lied and it came tumbling down at the end)Sep 23 15:35
DaemonFCYes it was a dumb decision to bundle it in the first place.Sep 23 15:35
DaemonFCBut perhaps you can tell me what part of a mea culpa, reaching out to anti-spyware/anti-adware vendors to ensure blacklisting, removing it from the preinstall images, and releasing a goddamn removal tool that they open sourced counts as "Lenovo lied and it came tumbling down"?Sep 23 15:35
DaemonFCIt's pretty clear that you have it out for Lenovo. And, whatever, that's cool. Don't buy their shit.Sep 23 15:35
DaemonFCBut don't lie. And when you're called out by an expert, don't keep lying and resort to ad-hominem attacks.Sep 23 15:35
DaemonFC[–]BaronHK[S] 1 point 19 minutes ago* Sep 23 15:37
DaemonFCWhat Lenovo did was wait until all of their lies and bullshit ran out and then offered a fucking removal tool for the shit that they put on millions of computers, some probably still running Superfish today, complete with the self-signed cert that they said was "not a security problem"! Motherfuckers.Sep 23 15:37
DaemonFCIt's well known that Garrett has done things for horrible political reasons. He's an Intel basher, so why wouldn't he blame Intel and vastly overstate the power usage of the hardware in AHCI mode. (It doesn't seem to bother Dell users. Linus Torvalds said he bought a Dell XPS system, and that's the mode it's running in, right?) Garrett bashed Intel because of a phony scandal and it's people like him that basically bled GNOME's finances dry Sep 23 15:37
DaemonFCon an "outreach to women" program that basically had no results in the end.Sep 23 15:37
DaemonFCIf I'm going to donate money to GNOME, I'd like it to be used to develop GNOME and promote GNOME and not on some noxious politically correct SJW campaign. I think they've lost their damned minds, personally.Sep 23 15:37
DaemonFChttp://www.pcworld.com/article/2143160/gnome-foundation-faces-cash-crunch-over-women-outreach-program.htmlSep 23 15:37
DaemonFCIf women want to join open source development, maybe they'll just do it without the pandering and obnoxious SJW people spending all the cash the project has on marketing to a demographic that is perhaps, just not interested.Sep 23 15:37

DaemonFC[–]CrimeOfOpportunity [score hidden] 17 minutes ago Sep 23 15:43
DaemonFCThere's some good points listed there but nothing beyond speculation unfortunately. And it doesn't change the fact that this BIOS lock thus far has shown to be exclusive to North America (or at least, excludes European markets)Sep 23 15:43
DaemonFCAs a recap, here's what demographic this conspiracy aims to steal: North American owners of Lenovo Yoga 900 IKS2 laptops. I don't know who formulated this backhanded stuff, but it's hardly Dan Brown material.Sep 23 15:43
DaemonFCAnd again, it doesn't explain the fact that were this to become widespread, the linux kernel would in all likelihood respond by upping the effort to support RAID, rendering the whole conspiracy moot.Sep 23 15:43
DaemonFCWe deal with hardware support issues all the time, this is hardly evidence of some kind of campaign against Linux.Sep 23 15:43
DaemonFC[–]BaronHK[S] 1 point just now Sep 23 15:44
DaemonFCIt's actually four models of Yoga laptops and about to be six as soon as the 910 and Yoga Book Windows Edition is out. (There's an Android edition of the Yoga Book scheduled to launch, but knowing Lenovo, I wouldn't put it past them to make it come with a bunch of crapware marked "system app", but maybe you can take root and get rid of it if that happens.)Sep 23 15:44

DaemonFCThat's certainly a possible solution. Intel are in the best position to write that code. I may attempt it in the next few days.Sep 23 16:04
DaemonFCI think that my point that not working at all is worse than not working ideally was correct.Sep 23 16:05
DaemonFCAnd he overstated the impact AHCI mode will have on battery life.Sep 23 16:05
DaemonFCIn the Dell's case, you're dealing with about 9 hours and 40 minutes instead of 11 hours 56 minutes with the Intel power management, because they had the original skylake power issue which prevented deep sleep. So that was the runtimes for Windows, at least..Sep 23 16:06
DaemonFCGarrett said "several hours" but it's really more like 2Sep 23 16:07
razielle_tzutwo and a bit, big dealSep 23 16:07

DaemonFCSomeone asked about the idea to kick the hardware into AHCI mode using the Linux kernel on Reddit, so I replied:Sep 23 18:00
DaemonFC Sep 23 18:00
DaemonFCThe beauty of the idea to have Linux kick the machine into AHCI after GRUB starts the kernel is that it gets reset on every boot, and then goes into AHCI mode again when you select Linux.Sep 23 18:00
DaemonFC Sep 23 18:00
DaemonFCWhen you select Windows, it will be in the fake RAID mode and you still get full power management, and you won't even have to install Windows again to avoid BSoDs.Sep 23 18:00
DaemonFC Sep 23 18:00
DaemonFCAnd there's nothing Lenovo can do about it since we'd only be using their stupid BIOS to bring the machine out and then throwing out their RAID mode once Linux takes over. As long as you don't get a BIOS update that breaks something else. A BIOS update could break Linux again if Lenovo really intended it to, but I'm thinking after being embroiled in a scandal, they won't try this again. Once is a mistake, twice is a habit. You know? That's Sep 23 18:00
DaemonFCmy opinion.Sep 23 18:00
DaemonFC Sep 23 18:00
DaemonFCHopefully once we have an interim fix in place that lets us boot Linux, someone can add support for Lenovo's fake RAID mode later, remove the quirk, and we get full power management back. Until then, maybe you get 9 hours instead of 10 on a charge. I haven't tested so I don't know. I would accept the hit to get away from Windows 10, even if we never figure out a solution that lets us run in the RAID mode and support Intel's undocumented Sep 23 18:00

DaemonFCThey do use the word "Wintel" for a reason. MS and Intel tend to do things in lockstep. MS benefits from having a situation where only a Windows driver from Intel can bail you out.Sep 23 18:15
DaemonFCThey preloaded Windows on the machine and there's nothing you can do about it thanks to this configuration, so why is Microsoft hurt? They aren't. In fact, I'm sure they encouraged it. Maybe even had the idea in the first place.Sep 23 18:16

DaemonFCWindows 10 isn't "unstable" like earlier releases were where you got a blue screen of death every few days. I've only gotten two blue screens of death in the last 13 months of using Windows 10, and they both happened on the initial release (there have been two more since).Sep 23 19:00
DaemonFCWindows 10 is unstable in the sense that it has all kinds of weird bugs that show up and are difficult to reproduce. Like your Bluetooth starts acting up or telling you to reboot the computer when you pair your headphones, and then you shut down and turn the PC back on and it behaves for a while. Same with touchscreen. Updates can hang themselves and require you to reset Windows update and then install the offline package. Just a lot of Sep 23 19:00
DaemonFCthings that shouldn't ever happen to an end user, and usually don't on Mac or Linux due to higher code quality and a more thorough testing process before the release is marked stable and sent out to users.Sep 23 19:00
DaemonFCI hear that Microsoft fired most of their testers and is relying on "telemetry". What does that mean? They push it out to users, see what breaks, and then temporarily halt the updates on that particular system (leaving the people who already got the update in trouble, but Microsoft doesn't seem to care).Sep 23 19:00

DaemonFCAll those people that were monitoring it and talking in it, and all those people that must have checked it when you made your post (and that was an incredibly high view post.

So many people defending Microsoft, Lenovo, and Intel, the three companies that are the whole reason we're here talking about the problem they handed us. There is no new Microsoft. There are only Sep 23 20:11

DaemonFCLike the Best Buy comment from Lenovo that is still there as far as I know. I grabbed the screenshot of that because I suspected that it might be deleted later to make it seem like it never existed, but Lenovo confirmed that the comment is there when they said they had no idea who posted it. Sure they don't.... Probably the guy that they likely fired or wrote up right after saying that.Sep 23 20:15

r_schestowitz"Sep 24 02:57
r_schestowitzI’m worried about the false narrative implications of this one. Apparently, this was a hybrid attack where UEFI implemented an older style hostile hardware denial of gnu/linux. The apologists are ignoring UEFI to give us the decades old excuse, “Those hobbyists just aren’t in the loop and don’t have the drivers for this one.” That false perception can mask more deliberate attacks in the future if people let their guard down.Sep 24 02:57
r_schestowitzUEFI is Microsoft’s infrastructure to nuke gnu/linux but they can’t do it all at once. They can mess with people even if they no longer run Windows, and even if Windows was never installed, because UEFI is network aware. They can identify gnu/linux users with the same infrastructure Edward Snowden showed us the NSA and Microsoft contractors used to identify “sysadmins”. The two combined give Microsoft the ability to launch denial Sep 24 02:57
r_schestowitzof service attacks that will be hard to detect. Extra vigilance is called for by anyone who’s trying to run free software on top of UEFI.Sep 24 02:57

r_schestowitzMatthew Garrett jumps to Microsoft and Intel’s defense, how sickening.Sep 24 02:58
r_schestowitzhttp://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/44694.htmlSep 24 02:58
r_schestowitzMicrosoft and Intel made this awful UEFI for the sole purpose of controlling what gets booted. Even Garrett admits the implementation does little or nothing for actual security. The implementation did make booting GNU/Linux much harder and make doing so almost pointless. UEFI is a complete, non free OS that can betray the user no matter what software the user “chooses” from the list of allowed operating systems. Microsoft can withdraw Sep 24 02:58
r_schestowitztheir key at anytime, for any reason which will nuke your ability to boot gnu/linux. For people that value their freedom, that might be better than running on top of UEFI.Sep 24 02:58
r_schestowitzGiven that reality, it beggars imagination that Garrett would say, “Neither interpretation [of Lenovo’s Microsoft Lock Down Agreement] indicates that there’s a deliberate attempt to prevent users from installing their choice of operating system.” He reaches this conclusion by saying the equipment won’t run without good power management, that not many people want to run GNU/Linux anyway, and that, “there are several free Sep 24 02:58
r_schestowitzoperating systems that support UEFI Secure Boot and have appropriate signatures.” Wow, just wow. He’ll probably use the same logic when all hardware is like this shit because nothing reasonable has been made in seven years. Because, Microsoft made installing free software extremely difficult and mostly pointless on such hardware, he can conclude they never intended to block free software. All evidence of success at blocking free Sep 24 02:58
r_schestowitzsoftware is turned into Microsoft and Intel defense.Sep 24 02:58
r_schestowitzThis is a new low for Garrett.Sep 24 02:58

DaemonFCI wouldn't care why as long as it worked and made it into the upstream kernel somehow.Sep 24 03:15
DaemonFCI think the only reason he wrote that patch for the G33M-S Foxconn board was to show that he could do it with two lines of code and then say "See, look. Happens all the time. No sabotage here!".Sep 24 03:16
DaemonFCThe problem only took two lines of code to fix once it was known what the problem was, but it was copying undocumented Windows behavior that fixed it.Sep 24 03:17

DaemonFCYou haven't had Nvidia's proprietary driver crash your system that you know of. I'm sure you're an expert at tracing errors back to the component that caused them...Sep 24 17:41
DaemonFCAlmost every Linux distribution disables kernel debugging and won't let you file bug reports if you have Nvidia loaded because systems with proprietary graphics drivers crash way more than systems without them and developers are sick of wasting time finding out it's our friend the Nvidia driver again and that there is no way to fix it.Sep 24 17:41
DaemonFCSince the X.org server is tainted as well, and it handles keyboard input, the Nvidia driver turned out to be why my keyboard would stop working occasionally while I had Nvidia loaded. Finally I just got rid of Nvidia because I was tired of it causing seemingly random problems throughout my OS.Sep 24 17:43

DaemonFCr_schestowitz, I edited it.Sep 24 19:03
DaemonFCEdit: Because the "Linux lacks drivers" myth won't die, let me say this again...Sep 24 19:03
DaemonFCThat's simply not true. That's Lenovo+Microsoft's party line. The fake RAID is for Windows so it doesn't load a driver with bad power management, because Windows doesn't have any other driver override support. If they unhide AHCI mode, Linux would install. Power policy on Linux is not dictated by some insane hack meant for Windows. Once Linux is running, Linux developers could fine tune the power policy independent of the storage controller Sep 24 19:03
DaemonFCmode. The two are separate issues. Totally not related. Lenovo and Microsoft are lying.Sep 24 19:03

MinceRand yet another solution is to glass redmond, preferably when the oligarchs are thereSep 24 21:45

DaemonFCIn the Anniversary Update, Cortana now completely ignores the user's default web browser and preferred search engine and only opens with Microsoft Edge, which forces search results to load in Bing, even if the user has a different preferred search provider in Edge. Microsoft claims that it is necessary to force Windows users to use Bing, to prevent a "compromised experience that is less reliable and predictable".[220] Users had previously Sep 18 07:21
DaemonFCbeen getting around the Bing restriction by installing Chrome extensions like bing2google[221], and Firefox had been redirecting Cortana searches to the user's default search engine in Firefox.[222] Nevertheless, another workaround was found in a matter of days of the Anniversary Edition release, which restores the ability to direct Cortana searches to the user's preferred browser and search engine.[223]Sep 18 07:21

DaemonFCSomeone keeps reverting my edits about Cortana on the Windows 10 article. So I rephrased it and added an entry about disabling Cortana completely.Sep 18 23:31
DaemonFCIn Windows 10 "Redstone", Cortana ignores the user's default web browser and search engine and only opens web searches with Microsoft Edge and Bing. Microsoft claims that this is necessary to prevent a "compromised experience that is less reliable and predictable".[134] Users had previously been using their preferred search engine by installing Chrome extensions like bing2google[135], and Firefox had been redirecting Cortana searches to the Sep 18 23:31
DaemonFCuser's default search engine.[136] Nevertheless, another workaround was devised following the "Redstone" release, which restores the ability to direct Cortana searches to the user's preferred browser and search engine, by way of an open source utility called SearchWithMyBrowser that hooks into the "microsoft-edge:" protocol and opens anything that calls it in the user's preferred browser.[137][138]Sep 18 23:31
DaemonFCWindows 10 "Redstone" removes the setting to turn off Cortana that was previously in the Cortana settings menu. However, users can still disable Cortana by using the Group Policy Editor or a registry setting.[139]Sep 18 23:31

DaemonFCI added a short description of the main problem that was keeping Firefox off of iOS.Sep 18 23:53
DaemonFCOne reason given by Mozilla was that prior to iOS 8, Apple had supplied third-party browsers with an inferior version of their JavaScript engine which hobbled their performance, making it impossible to match Safari's JavaScript performance on the iOS platform.[156] Apple later opened their "Nitro" JavaScript engine to third-party browsers.[157]Sep 18 23:54

DaemonFCIt was released purely to make the media report that Microsoft had done something about the persistent security problems on XP.Sep 19 00:01
DaemonFCI was in the Service Pack 2 testing program, so I got it before anyone else did.Sep 19 00:02
DaemonFCThe main difference is after I installed it, some programs that previously worked crashed. So Microsoft ended up backing out some security features to make programs work again. :PSep 19 00:03

DaemonFCJust now · Sep 19 02:15
DaemonFCThere are so many gaps in Microsoft Edge's extensions platform as to render it nearly useless. Microsoft says work is ongoing, but since it refuses to make a proper app out of Edge, it still gets its updates with Windows, so that will take another 8-9 months. We'll be well into next year before Adblock Plus works properly.Sep 19 02:15
DaemonFCDoes Edge use less power? Well, maybe technically, but you'll spend so much extra time trying to deal with a less-than-ideal browsing experience (including trying to read past the ads in your search results that aren't being blocked) that it'll take longer to get stuff done, thus undoing most of the efficiency it gives you vs. Chrome 53, which made some huge gains in power consumption itself.Sep 19 02:15

DaemonFCLooks like Lenovo not only locked the RAID mode in at the BIOS level, they encrypted and signed the BIOS, Authenticode style, so you can't modify it.Sep 19 04:46
DaemonFCLinux doesn't seem to be able to use the Samsung SSD in the Yoga 900 ultrabook because of this.Sep 19 04:46

DaemonFCLenovo says that they may fix it, but I'd imagine that Linux will implement a workaround before that happens.Sep 19 05:02
DaemonFCSome kind of special RAID mode that Linux doesn't support.Sep 19 05:02
DaemonFCOther ultrabook OEMs have fixed the issue by a BIOS update that lets you put it in AHCI/SATA mode.Sep 19 05:03
DaemonFCSome users have reported that the Windows 10 installer doesn't reccognize it either.Sep 19 05:04
DaemonFCBut that might have changed. There is new install media for the Anniversary Edition.Sep 19 05:04
DaemonFCAccording to another user, you can add drivers for the SSD into the Windows 10 install image and then it will see the SSD. That doesn't help with Linux though.Sep 19 05:10
DaemonFCLooks like the latest BIOS update that Lenovo put on their support site is three versions behind the one installed on my computer.Sep 19 05:44
DaemonFCNo release notes or any mention at all of the version on my computer.Sep 19 05:44

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-@ipwatch: @schestowitz Fair enuf, your alert readership on IP issues is appreciated. But on Swiss thing, it was just interesting on eve of WIPO talksSep 19 17:18
schestowitzSorry for my seemingly strongly-worded remark. It's probably coming across as ruder as I intended in text-only form.Sep 19 17:19

schestowitzantilope: hiSep 19 17:31
schestowitzantilope: what's up?Sep 19 17:32
antilopeI like to read your news on the EPO! I am an examinerSep 19 17:32
antilopemany of follow your sire (at home..)Sep 19 17:33
antilopesiteSep 19 17:33
antilopeis there a topic on which you are really interested for info? I mean patent wise, not those subjects like Topic, Bergot etc...Sep 19 17:35
schestowitzthanks, let me thinkSep 19 17:36
antilopeI for example got a list with EP grants that are not new .... where the search work was soooo apalling you can hardly believe itSep 19 17:37
schestowitzI think patent scope (what I covered before the BB scandals) is importanytSep 19 17:37
antilopebecause that is the latest develoment, Munich style searches become standard...Sep 19 17:37
antilopeaha that is interesting indeedSep 19 17:38
schestowitzI lack information about the stocks and the nature of patents, e.g. softwareSep 19 17:38
antilopeaha for us quite easy to find in the overall workload systemSep 19 17:38
schestowitzEPO promotes software patents in Twitter a lot this month, much to our shock (FFII also)Sep 19 17:38
schestowitzthey call it "computer-implemented" usuallySep 19 17:39
schestowitzor CIISep 19 17:39
antilopeour guess is, within 2 to 3 years we are out of stock (also for examination) and than the big question is what next with us examinersSep 19 17:39
antilopeI also sometimes grant controllers, but it is in mz case always linked to an apparatus (a control for ...)Sep 19 17:40
schestowitzWorry for examiners, yesSep 19 17:40
schestowitzi worry about all those patents that sneaked in and are of low qualitySep 19 17:40
schestowitzincluding patents on plants, algorithms, etc.Sep 19 17:40
schestowitzthe apparatus thing is the loophole of BrimelowSep 19 17:41
schestowitzthe "as such" thing, which means say it's connected to a "device" or "apparatus" to make it look not abstractSep 19 17:41
antilopethere are plenty bad grants, but it is now getting an epidemiaSep 19 17:41
schestowitzEPO (in Twitter) not actually advertises these loopholes, it helps applicants get around the rules to increase "productivity" I suppose, or "production"Sep 19 17:42
schestowitzany information related to this would be handySep 19 17:42
antilopethe question is, are patents a goal or just a meansSep 19 17:42
schestowitzwithout patent numbers as that can reveal identity of examiners assigned theseSep 19 17:42
antilopeI will think a bit for you and keep you updated under this nameSep 19 17:42
schestowitzantilope: Battistelli studied in ENASep 19 17:43
schestowitzI don't think he even knows what patent systems are forSep 19 17:43
schestowitzINPI wasn't just for patentsSep 19 17:43
schestowitzalso trademarks, like that Wine branding thing of oligarchs in FranceSep 19 17:43
antilopewe all know this, in our opinion he is not the worst but that is minnoyeSep 19 17:43
antilopehe is the real kind slayer, the one who makes the big damage to the EPOSep 19 17:44
schestowitzI don't know enough about him, except that old ILO appeal where he's mentionedSep 19 17:44
antilopeCPC is killing usSep 19 17:44
antilopeking slayerSep 19 17:44
schestowitzwhat's CPC, pardon?Sep 19 17:44
antilopethe classification project with the USSep 19 17:44
schestowitzI think that the EPO wants to attract mirrored applications at the EPOSep 19 17:45
schestowitzso that all those patent trolls can get a patent extended to the EPOSep 19 17:45
schestowitzwith or without the UPCSep 19 17:45
schestowitzand then troll European companies, tooSep 19 17:45
antilopebasically, a lot of the "production increases" got paid by putting less man hours in the classification activitiesSep 19 17:45
schestowitzthis would hurt a lot more than just examiners, also Birtish companies here that deal with softwareSep 19 17:46
schestowitzso it's not production, it's grantSep 19 17:46
antilopewe say; He who controls the classification in fact controls the patent qualitySep 19 17:46
schestowitzproduction as measured in grants, not hours put inSep 19 17:46
antilopeyes, believe me, this year 2016 will see an enormous rise in grants, sure for me (I guess it will be like 30 % up)Sep 19 17:47
antilopewe now (as today) grant a lot of stuff that was 10 - 15 years ready on the shelvesSep 19 17:47
antilopemy oldest one in the docket has a prority date from 1997...curious what will happen after we pass that daySep 19 17:48
antilopemeanwhile we neglect collectively the classification system, no maintenance, no new development, no one feeld responsible anymoreSep 19 17:49
schestowitzhmmm.Sep 19 17:50
schestowitz.Sep 19 17:50
schestowitz1997...Sep 19 17:50
schestowitzRomario and Ronaldo...Sep 19 17:50
schestowitzProbably retiring by then..Sep 19 17:50
antilopeof course, meanwhile a lot of window dressing is going on, it is incredible the production goes up sky high and the quality also...Sep 19 17:50
schestowitzHanson hitting the pop charts...Sep 19 17:50
antilopeyes, I had to wipe some dust from the yellowed file folders...Sep 19 17:51

schestowitzBB says IAM is greatSep 19 17:51
antilopeseeing is believing, why not pay a visit to us one daySep 19 17:51
schestowitzFTI Consulting pays IAM and all...Sep 19 17:51
schestowitzI guess it's more like a party with a high budgetSep 19 17:51
schestowitzManaging IP appears to have joinedSep 19 17:51
antilopeIAM is in our opinion not important at al, that is only our own specialist peer group (per technical field)Sep 19 17:52
schestowitzkicking off the post-vacation period with UPC proponents getting a platformSep 19 17:52
antilopethe next funny event to come is 14 Oct. a social conference one day before AC meetingSep 19 17:52
schestowitzHave these issues been raised to politicians?Sep 19 17:52
schestowitzThe social issues typically take up all the iotaSep 19 17:52
antilopeno of course not, what do they know??Sep 19 17:53
schestowitzthey barely understand what patents areSep 19 17:53
antilopeI agreeSep 19 17:53
schestowitzunless you say something like "innovation" or "R&D"Sep 19 17:53
antilopeit is sometimes....Sep 19 17:53
antilopebut usually notSep 19 17:53
schestowitzis the social conference really a conference?Sep 19 17:53
schestowitzLike something to be organised for media impact?Sep 19 17:54
antilopeit will go from top to root...Sep 19 17:54
schestowitzSocial study became "conference" some months backSep 19 17:54
antilopeit will be sold as a successSep 19 17:54
schestowitzI need to undermine these lies about the social situationSep 19 17:54
antilopeand only the "recognized" union ie. FFPE is invited (SUEPO of course not)Sep 19 17:54
schestowitzbut they have a high-budgeted FTI Consulting contractsSep 19 17:54
schestowitzand I know some journalists whose bosses tell them to repeat the EPO's "news" du jour, as per the press releasesSep 19 17:55
antilopeit is in a way a media warSep 19 17:55
schestowitzFFPE is dead credibility-wiseSep 19 17:55
antilopeof course they areSep 19 17:55
schestowitzany journalists who chararcterise them as representatives of staff would be viewed as clueless, corrupt, or useful idiotsSep 19 17:55
antilopeI agreeSep 19 17:55
schestowitzyes, there's a media struggleSep 19 17:56
schestowitzSZ are now trying to prove they're not silencedSep 19 17:56
schestowitzbut it's too little, too lateeSep 19 17:56
schestowitzThere's infighting thereSep 19 17:56
schestowitzand money at stakeSep 19 17:56
schestowitzEPO gave additional 220 ish thousand Euros to pollute Dutch and German mediaSep 19 17:56

antilopelet me explain. for most EPO issue money is not really a problem , but just a meansSep 19 17:57
schestowitzin exchange for - ahem - 'fair' coverage ahead of releasesSep 19 17:57
schestowitzit's a problem when  this money corrupts the mediaSep 19 17:57
schestowitzand then the public is being sold -literally- a lieSep 19 17:58
schestowitzit will happen next monthSep 19 17:58
schestowitz"EPO staff is happy about reforms" etc.Sep 19 17:58
antilopefor us, it is the whole set up with this weak AC on top of the water head that is the problemSep 19 17:58
schestowitzThey already paid some big papers, inc. The Financial Times of LondonSep 19 17:58
antilopeplus that seriously not a single politician is interestedSep 19 17:58
schestowitzbusiness people read these, they don't bother with blogs or suepo.orgSep 19 17:58
schestowitzpoliticians can't helpSep 19 17:59
schestowitz1. because epo is non-eu bodySep 19 17:59
antilopesuepo, of which I am not a memer, is quite moderate in the last yearsSep 19 17:59
schestowitz2. there's nothing for them to gain, unless it's a french opposition (to sarkozy) partySep 19 17:59
schestowitzwe need more leaks from the EPOSep 19 17:59
schestowitzlike E-mails that show how the system got 'cooked' to increase grantsSep 19 17:59
schestowitzthat would harm those who plotted this courseSep 19 18:00
schestowitzGrant Philpott shat himself when I did this and I got nasty lettersSep 19 18:00
schestowitzone day I'll rerelease thatSep 19 18:00
schestowitzthe main question is, antilope, what to show for maximal impactSep 19 18:02
schestowitzsometimes they say things they really shouldn't be sayingSep 19 18:02
schestowitzand once seen from the outside they need to own up to itSep 19 18:02
antilopeI do not want to harm, but what we need is a transparant system without secret working contracts, without paid coverage, and without badly searched appliationsSep 19 18:02
antilopeby the way, all of us love your Topic coverage!!Sep 19 18:03
schestowitzthat would work, but they won't do that out of goodwillSep 19 18:03
schestowitzyou need to impose transparencySep 19 18:03
antilopeI sat with him, what a complete ........Sep 19 18:03
schestowitzTopic I haven't heard about in a while, I wonder what happened in Zagreb this summerSep 19 18:04
schestowitzI heard there used to be photos of him in suepo forumsSep 19 18:04
schestowitzin his MercSep 19 18:04
antilopeAs I cannot be sure it is really you, as you cannot be sure it is really antilope, I have to keep a bit vagueSep 19 18:04
schestowitzwhich he claims to have bought from SIPO or whateverSep 19 18:04
schestowitzIs it true some of your folks call him "Putin", still?Sep 19 18:05
antilopeI do not knowSep 19 18:05
schestowitzAn article in German said so around 2014 or 2013Sep 19 18:05
antilopeI think the poor man has no ballsSep 19 18:05

schestowitzI wll publish something about the IU tomorrowSep 19 18:06
antilopewell, you did not read on your latest "security" communique...?Sep 19 18:07
antilopeOh we get scanners...Sep 19 18:07
antilopeand more useless stuffSep 19 18:07
schestowitzbody scanners (or for bags) I heard aboutSep 19 18:07
antilopefor bagsSep 19 18:08
schestowitzUnless there's something more recentSep 19 18:08
schestowitzI leaked some internal comms about it at the timeSep 19 18:08
schestowitzI can link to it as "old news", I need new material if this has escalated since that iranian bloke went on a shooting spree in MunichSep 19 18:08
antilopeno no no-one is really interested in the EPO, believe me, you can shoot a cannon and only a few will wake upSep 19 18:09
antilope20 million for the reward package...a shitty deal for usSep 19 18:10
antilopewe are being separated in the Have's and Have-notsSep 19 18:10
schestowitzwhat's this package?Sep 19 18:11
schestowitzA collective award to staff?Sep 19 18:11
schestowitzto be split among them?Sep 19 18:11
antilopeOf course, last 2015 all directors and principal directors got heavily rewarded...but the examiners notSep 19 18:12
antilopeyes 9 million for pensionable awards like salary step increases, and the rest for 2 types of bonuses and one-off rewardsSep 19 18:13
schestowitzthey increased "production"Sep 19 18:13
schestowitzby planning a s***y systemSep 19 18:13
schestowitzwhere the priority is to empty the shelves, not properly separate the wheat from the chaffSep 19 18:13
antilopeno they did nothing, it was the examiners and the administrative staff, you should have seen the huge piles with grants it was incredibleSep 19 18:13
schestowitzanother USPTO in the makingSep 19 18:14
antilopeI mean piles to the ceiling, earlier this yearSep 19 18:14
schestowitzapplicants were probably happySep 19 18:14
schestowitzuntil later on, when they find out EPs are losing valueSep 19 18:14
schestowitzand people distrust EPsSep 19 18:14
antilopewe are now basicallz emptying our stock (examination) and it is going pretty fastSep 19 18:14
antilopeyou are fully rightSep 19 18:14
schestowitzit's easySep 19 18:15
schestowitzchecked this, checked thatSep 19 18:15
schestowitzdidn't find anythingSep 19 18:15
schestowitzdecision: grantSep 19 18:15
schestowitzit's not even like you have to produce anything, just say "found nothing"Sep 19 18:15
antilopeand the good news is, we are even rewarded in case op oppositions!Sep 19 18:15
schestowitzwhat is that?Sep 19 18:16
schestowitzwas ist das?Sep 19 18:16
schestowitzcase op?Sep 19 18:16
antiloperemark: The bulk what is granted now has still pretty good search reports, but that is going to change quicklySep 19 18:16
antilopein case of an opposition, we get time like 2 or 3 days Sep 19 18:16
antilopethat is good for our productivitySep 19 18:17
antilopesome dicrectorates got 3 times more oppo's as their counterpart (which should be kind of identical)Sep 19 18:17
antilopethe new mantra is: TimelinessSep 19 18:18
antilopeBut not a single applicant is interested  in this , they want qualitySep 19 18:18
schestowitzor "earlySep 19 18:18
schestowitz"?Sep 19 18:18
schestowitzapplicants want quality?Sep 19 18:18
schestowitzDoubt itSep 19 18:18
schestowitzthey want collective qualitySep 19 18:18
schestowitzeven those who are not applicants and can be sued/shaken downSep 19 18:19
schestowitzquality is a long-term reputational thingSep 19 18:19
schestowitztake universities for exampleSep 19 18:19
schestowitzmy friend's partner has her phd viva in 1.5 weeksSep 19 18:19
schestowitzthey can just let her passSep 19 18:19
schestowitzand they're rewarded for itSep 19 18:19
antilopeyes believe me, if you put so much money in your patent portfolio you want a certain quality I have been in at least 20 huge companies and they all conveyed this message (think of: Philips, Daikin, Mitsubishi, Honeywell etc etc)Sep 19 18:20
schestowitzbut at what stage does a university accept so many theses that it's just considered to be a crap university? Same situation at the EPO now..Sep 19 18:20
schestowitzwell, they want the veneer of EPO stampSep 19 18:20
schestowitzto maybe convince the companies they come to meet about "licensing"Sep 19 18:20
antilopethere are still capable courts active in Europe who decide on the validity of a patentSep 19 18:21
schestowitzbut when EPO is associated with patent disputed and trashed in court (see Apple) they'll think twice before suingSep 19 18:21

DaemonFCCopyright Cartel Logic: If we make it impossible to watch Netflix programs in other countries, they totally won't use pirate streaming sites that are free.Sep 20 22:43
MinceRyeah, totallySep 20 22:43
MinceRbut at least they'll break the web in the attemptSep 20 22:43
DaemonFCMinceR, Netflix intentionally degrades the video in Chrome and Firefox anyway.Sep 20 22:44
DaemonFC720p no matter what you're paying for.Sep 20 22:44
MinceRsimilarly to how they intentionally degraded web standardsSep 20 22:44
DaemonFCThe only way to get 1080p is Internet Explorer, Edge, Safari, or the Windows Store app.Sep 20 22:45
DaemonFCNo way to do 4K Netflix streaming on a PC.Sep 20 22:45
DaemonFCSo unless you have a smart tv or a streaming box that does 4K and is "authorized" by Netflix, it's impossible to watch in 4K even if you pay for it.Sep 20 22:45

DaemonFCNetflix won't TELL you that. It's only known because the secret menu that you can bring up with a key como shows what resolution it's playing in.Sep 20 22:48
DaemonFCSo they'll sell you service that you can't actually use and then won't tell you that you're not getting that level of service.Sep 20 22:48

DaemonFCI made some suggestions to file bugs in the major Linux distributions bug trackers, try installing Fedora Rawhide to see what the latest Linux does on this system, and maybe get in touch with Matthew Garrett and see if he'd take a crack at it.Sep 20 23:22
DaemonFCI ended with this:Sep 20 23:22
DaemonFCIt's time to go to some people outside of Lenovo to get this thing fixed. It's completely obvious to me (my opinion) after reading these posts that what Lenovo did was both intentional and malicious and if we stand around waiting for them to fix the problem, we'll be stuck with Windows 10 forever. Their past history with the Superfish malware and the BIOS that reinstalled their crapware bundle even in a clean Windows install from Sep 20 23:22
DaemonFCMicrosoft's ISO only bolster my belief that this was deliberate.Sep 20 23:22
DaemonFCI added:Sep 20 23:26
DaemonFCIn the meantime, we should go post this information on reviews of this computer so that people know what Lenovo did. Also comment on their Facebook posts. Let's turn up the heat on them until they release a BIOS update that fixes this.Sep 20 23:26

DaemonFCI replied: Sadly, unless there is a way to trick the computer into accepting the BIOS update without Lenovo's signature on it, or to somehow sign the blasted thing with Lenovo's signature, without hooking up an external flasher and potentially ruining a $1,400 computer, that doesn't help most people.Sep 20 23:31

DaemonFCI'd be interested in hearing from people who have a model that just so happens to not be able to run Linux, but if Lenovo's "deal" with Microsoft is any indication, this all came about in October of last year.Sep 21 06:17
DaemonFCThe original ISK Yoga 900 can run Linux, and the ISK2 is an "upgrade" that comes with a Iris 540 graphics adapter instead of the HD 520 that came with the original Yoga 900. So I bought the ISK2 thinking I was basically getting bumped up to a 60% faster graphics chip, no strings attached.Sep 21 06:17
DaemonFCOuch. Well, now we know what the real "feature" of the ISK2 was.Sep 21 06:17

DaemonFCI bought a Lenovo Yoga 900 ISK2 Ultrabook at Best Buy and then found out that Linux can’t be installed on it.Sep 21 08:17
DaemonFCI ended up going around in circles on the Lenovo support forum and then finally posted a negative review on Best Buy. A Lenovo employee replied that they locked the machine to prevent Linux from being installed due to their “Signature Edition” agreement for Windows 10 with Microsoft.Sep 21 08:17
DaemonFCI posted all about this on Lenovo’s forum and they are trying to delete the thread (one of the links still works, it’s in Google’s Cache, and we are backing it all up to the Wayback Machine while it’s still visible).Sep 21 08:17

DaemonFCA Microsoft Signature PC is supposed to be a special version of an OEM's regular model that comes without any crapware.Sep 21 09:24
DaemonFCAccording to an article I read, there can be over thirty crap programs included on the average retail PC, including trial versions, questionable utilities, self-promoting spam from the OEM, etc. Strangely enough, Microsoft excluded trial copies of MS Office from the requirement to not have bloatware. So I did have one program to uninstall.Sep 21 09:24
DaemonFCApparently, "Signature" is now going to mean "only runs Windows", and since all computers OEMs put in the Microsoft Store have to be "Signature", that's all of those, and maybe the OEMs will decide to lock down the non-Signature models too so they don't have to maintain two BIOSes. So eventually there may not be a safe place to buy an OEM PC.Sep 21 09:24
schestowitzwait until they extend the programmeSep 21 09:24

DaemonFCIt's actually worse. The PC has always been an "open" platform and meant for general purpose computing. Before Microsoft imposed UEFI BIOS (bugs and all), Secure Boot, and now restrictions like the one introduced into Lenovo's UEFI BIOS firmware, we sometimes had problems running Linux on a PC, but with workarounds, usually involving watching how Windows handled things, Linux eventually worked pretty well on most computers. Since UEFI Sep 21 10:12
DaemonFCreplaced the traditional BIOS, we've had a huge mess on our hands, sometimes even when the computer isn't trying to stop Linux from installing or running. This new Microsoft restriction on general purpose PCs is, I believe, the first step in making a PC more like an iPhone. First they will take away our ability to run other operating systems, then they'll eventually impose restrictions on what you can install, maybe even forcing us to use Sep 21 10:12

DaemonFCschestowitz, I wrote this to Alexander Martin. I also told him to call me late this evening.Sep 21 10:56
DaemonFCMost of the stuff that I know about the issue with these systems, I actually learned from the Lenovo Support Forum thread that is linked in the Reddit post. I tried booting up several Linux live images. The usual. Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian. I couldn’t install to anything because the SSD never came up. There’s an NVMe SSD in these laptops, which Linux supports. And I understand you should be able to see it in /dev/nvme0 or something lSep 21 10:56
DaemonFCike that, but no, nothing. And the usual commands like to check for PCI-E devices showed no SSD there. So I went to the forums and learned that Lenovo locked it to some sort of RAID mode, and then they not only patched the system firmware setup utility to hide the option to put it into AHCI mode (in fact, there’s no storage device mode settings in there at all), but they apparently wrote more code to put it back in RAID mode if you goSep 21 10:57
DaemonFCt cute and tried setting the mode to AHCI in EFI Shell. So everything that I was likely to think of to work around the issue, and probably more, was covered in the support thread. And none of it worked. Somewhere along the way, a Lenovo support person said they escalated it to the BIOS development team. That was months ago. No word on anything yet. The latest BIOS revision posted in the drivers section is version 5 from April. My PC is Sep 21 10:57
DaemonFCrunning version 8 dated June 22. No release notes from Lenovo along the way. Nothing like that. So they’ve had this computer on the market for nearly a year, revised the BIOS 8 times. We know they patched out the setting and wrote more code to force it to stay in RAID mode. If they wanted this fixed, it would be fixed. I even reached out to Matthew Garrett who suggested that maybe Linux just doesn’t support driving an AHCI deviceSep 21 10:57
DaemonFC in RAID mode. So I became exasperated and left a one star review on Best Buy, which it pained me to do. This system has some really awesome hardware in it. A Lenovo employee responded and said that the laptop is “locked” due to their “Signature Edition” agreement for Windows 10 with Microsoft.Sep 21 10:57
DaemonFCSo that got my blood boiling. Sep 21 10:57
DaemonFCSo I’ve been in this conversation on Lenovo’s forums and a guy said that he modded the BIOS and used an external flasher to get around Lenovo’s signature checks and put it in AHCI mode. The code was all still there, just hidden. He reported that Windows and Linux both run great on his machine.Sep 21 10:57
DaemonFCSo, Linux doesn’t support the RAID mode, but it does support the AHCI mode that this guy managed to unlock on his device (but the solution wouldn’t scale because of the complexity of doing all of that), so this combined with Lenovo’s response to my Best Buy review tells us that Microsoft wanted them to break Linux, and this was a way to break Linux. (Some people are confusing this with Secure Boot, which you can turn off onSep 21 10:57
DaemonFC this machine, but which is not the problem. Linux boots in Secure Boot mode or with it off. ) And it’s a way to break Linux that makes Linux look like it might be the party at fault. It’s not like it would be the first time they had the idea. There was the infamous AARD code. (Makes for a good Wikipedia read.)Sep 21 10:57
DaemonFCSo, is Microsoft telling their PC OEM partners to break Linux in ways that make people think it’s problems with Linux? It’s plausible. Especially since Lenovo told me they “locked” the computer. This is a really awful and hacky way to “lock” it, but whatever gets the job done. Right?Sep 21 10:57

DaemonFCGood day,Sep 21 18:15
DaemonFCMy name is Robert N. Adams and I write for TechRaptor.net, a gaming, technology, and tabletop site.Sep 21 18:15
DaemonFCI'm working on a news piece relating to the issue you are experiencing with the Yoga 900 and would like to ask you a few questions regarding your experience to use in the article.Sep 21 18:15
DaemonFCDo you believe that the inability to install Linux due to a BIOS setting is a deliberate choice by Lenovo or do you believe that it is a side effect of unrelated design decisions in the BIOS?Sep 21 18:15
DaemonFCWhat do you think the reasoning for these BIOs settings being in place is in the event that these BIOS settings were employed in the Yoga 900 at Microsoft's behest?Sep 21 18:15
DaemonFCDo you feel that BIOS settings of this nature ought to be disclosed more clearly prior to purchasing of a product?Sep 21 18:15
DaemonFCDo you have any further commentary on this matter?Sep 21 18:15
DaemonFCAnything you say may or may not be used as a portion of the news piece provided that I get a response from you in time. It also has to pass through editorial, and that means that your interview may be trimmed down for readability or cut entirely. The article itself may not go to press in a timely fashion or at all. It's unlikely, but it's a possibility that I want you to be aware of just in case things don't work out.Sep 21 18:15
DaemonFCI can full well understand that you may be reluctant to comment on this issue. If you would prefer not to answer any questions or state anything off the record that would be fine. I would really appreciate a "no comment" reply or similar if you would prefer not to say anything.Sep 21 18:16
DaemonFCRegardless of your response, if the article goes to press it will indicate that I have reached out to you in this fashion. (It will state something like "We have reached out to the creator of the Reddit post.") Our editors are not yet awake, so I may also have follow-up questions in addition to these should you choose to respond and if we move forward with the article.Sep 21 18:16
DaemonFCLastly, I will be reaching out to the companies involved and I'm currently engaged in researching this topic myself. I will be doing a bit more than simply copy/pasting the content of your post or anything like that.Sep 21 18:16

DaemonFCHello Robert,Sep 21 18:16
DaemonFCI'll try to answer your questions in order here.Sep 21 18:16
DaemonFCI think that it was a deliberate design choice made by Lenovo, and I say that because the BIOS code that they use has AHCI mode available for the storage device, which Linux and Windows understand without any special drivers. Lenovo patched the code to remove the AHCI mode from the BIOS setup utility and then they wrote additional code to make sure that you can't set AHCI mode with an EFI variable using EFI shell. So, I'd say it's Sep 21 18:16
schestowitzTervy: not yet, thanks, will add it into our daily links in techrightsSep 21 18:16
DaemonFCdefinitely deliberate, and can't see any LEGITIMATE reason why they would have. It isn't really faster, it makes recovering Windows from Microsoft's installer very difficult if you have to later. About the only thing putting a single SSD setup into RAID mode using the BIOS gives you is (a) Linux won't be able to use the storage and (b) greater potential for data loss. Also, given that the Lenovo employee said that they caused the issue to Sep 21 18:16
DaemonFC"lock" the system to Windows per their agreement with Microsoft....Well, why wouldn't I believe them? Lenovo's official statement to the media has been "Unfortunately, [we] cannot confirm our relationship to the person at Best Buy.", and I find that odd because it said "Lenovo" on the signature of their reply. So they're throwing their employee under the bus.Sep 21 18:16
DaemonFCI think that Microsoft and Lenovo agreed to lock Linux out, and forcing RAID mode accomplishes that. In the last 11 months, nobody except one Lenovo forum poster that used a modded BIOS and an external flasher to get around Lenovo's signature check on BIOS updates has managed to install Linux on the Yoga models affected by this. I believe that Lenovo and Microsoft figured that if Linux ever did get driver support for this configuration, Sep 21 18:16
DaemonFCthat it would be years after the product was released, so it might as well be forever. Most people replace their laptop every 5 years or less, so almost nobody would ever be able to run Linux on the Yoga laptops while in their designed service life.Sep 21 18:17
DaemonFCI think that if you're going to sell someone a general purpose computer where installing an operating system is going to be difficult or impossible, you should have to say that on the packaging or on the website description.Sep 21 18:17
DaemonFCYes, I do have a further comment.Sep 21 18:17
DaemonFCI think that Lenovo's official reply is insufficient and carefully worded. They talk about how much they love to support Linux and then say that they don't support Linux on many of their own laptops. Actions speak louder than words, and there's no technical reason other than the BIOS RAID mode lock why the Yoga 900 ISK2 and other affected systems wouldn't be great Linux machines. I also think that locking down the thread and editing peoples Sep 21 18:17
DaemonFCcomments and then blaming forum posters for being "disruptive" was uncalled for, and they're obviously trying to turn this around and make it seem like I am overreacting or somehow I'm at fault for what they did. And unfortunately, some of the media reports have taken up this narrative instead of looking into why Lenovo would do such things to their computers. There is no REAL issue with Linux not supporting these laptops other than the one Sep 21 18:17
DaemonFCLenovo created. They need to make a BIOS patch that users can install, like other Ultrabook PC makers did, not more excuses.Sep 21 18:17

DaemonFChttps://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/44694.htmlSep 21 20:03
DaemonFC Sep 21 20:03
DaemonFCI like how he admits he doesn't know for sure and then speculates that it may be related to power management.Sep 21 20:03
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-mjg59.dreamwidth.org | mjg59 | Microsoft aren't forcing Lenovo to block free operating systemsSep 21 20:04
DaemonFC Sep 21 20:04
DaemonFCBut then he insists that it's not Lenovo trying to lock out other operating systems. How does he know?Sep 21 20:04
DaemonFC Sep 21 20:04
DaemonFCEven if the device would get worse battery life (which we don't know that it would, and nobody who booted up Linux on the ISK model or Live on the ISK2 reported their laptop "melting"), it should be up to the user.Sep 21 20:04
DaemonFC Sep 21 20:04
DaemonFCHe says that if his hunch is right, it's a cheap hack to work around lousy power management in the default Windows storage driver, and Lenovo probably did it to prevent a user from ending up toggling it in the BIOS setup program by mistake and ending up with Windows not booting, or lousy power management if it did.Sep 21 20:04
DaemonFC Sep 21 20:04
DaemonFCIf it was to prevent a clueless user from ending up in that situation where Windows wouldn't boot if they toggled it to AHCI mode, then why did Lenovo write code to make sure that if you used an EFI variable to set it, that it would switch it back to RAID? Is a user that doesn't know what they're doing likely to be in the EFI shell?Sep 21 20:04
DaemonFC Sep 21 20:04
DaemonFCDo we know Linux has lousy power management like Windows does? I don't think we know that at this point.Sep 21 20:04
DaemonFC Sep 21 20:04
DaemonFCIt would be nice if we could install Linux and test the hypothesis out, but unfortunately, *someone* made sure that we can't install Linux and see.Sep 21 20:04
DaemonFCI think that Lenovo's official reply is insufficient and carefully constructed.Sep 21 20:04
DaemonFC Sep 21 20:04
DaemonFCThey talk about how much they love to support Linux and then say that they don't support Linux on many of their own laptops.Sep 21 20:04
DaemonFC Sep 21 20:04
DaemonFCActions speak louder than words, and there's no technical reason other than the BIOS RAID mode lock why the Yoga 900 ISK2 and other affected systems wouldn't be great Linux machines.Sep 21 20:04
DaemonFC Sep 21 20:04
DaemonFCI also think that locking down the thread and editing peoples comments and then blaming forum posters for being "disruptive" was uncalled for, and they're obviously trying to turn this around and make it seem like I am overreacting or somehow I'm at fault for what they did.Sep 21 20:04
DaemonFC Sep 21 20:04
DaemonFCAnd unfortunately, some of the media reports have taken up this narrative instead of looking into why Lenovo would do such things to their computers. There is no REAL issue with Linux not supporting these laptops other than the one Lenovo created. They need to make a BIOS patch that users can install, like other Ultrabook PC makers did, not more excuses.Sep 21 20:04
DaemonFC Sep 21 20:05

DaemonFCLenovo just issued a press release praising Windows 10. Windows 10 is so unstable on the Yoga 900 that updates freeze (I had to get the offline update package for the last cumulative update because it kept stalling out at 45%), the Bluetooth glitches all the time and says to restart the computer because you paired your headphones, and I've had lots of other weird problems with Windows 10.

DaemonFCThe funniest part was they said that flipping it into tablet mode might not work right in Linux. Tablet mode is a gimmick because these things are just too heavy to use in that mode. They're easily three times heavier than an Android tablet and so that mode isn't incredibly useful. I wouldn't care if it didn't work because I never use that mode anyway.Sep 22 04:38

DaemonFCI've been using PCs since the 1980s. I got my first one when I was five, and Windows 10 is one of my least favorite operating systems ever. When Windows Vista came along and it ran poorly on my laptop, I didn't have to return the laptop to the store because I installed Linux and I used Linux for close to a decade. Not a single Windows machine in the house. I'm just wondering why I can't do the same thing here. If other people think Windows Sep 22 04:38

DaemonFCFreedom doesn't flow from the barrel of a gun, and what you're doing right now is quietly breaking Linux and slipping it in as an upgrade to a computer (Yoga 900) whose original model made it sound like a fantastic Linux machine, then playing gotcha games with users who are stuck on Windows 10.

DaemonFCThe FSF hasn't been as careful in selecting their board members as they should have been on several occasions, including when they let Miguel de Icaza in, who ran a company trying to get Microsoft technologies into Linux in ways that are legally dangerous to use.

DaemonFCAccording to Matthew Garrett, putting it in RAID forces it to bypass the Windows driver which has horrible power management functionality and load Intel's driver instead. So if that's the case, Lenovo is hacking around a problem with Windows power management. He blames Intel and says that they won't even tell Microsoft how power management works. I find that hard to believe considering that most Intel hardware is extensively documented. Sep 22 04:45
DaemonFCThey even have a dedicated open source team writing Linux graphics drivers that don't make you install flakey proprietary crap like some graphics card companies. We all know the one I speak of, but I don't want to say the name and risk provoking moderators.Sep 22 04:45
DaemonFC Sep 22 04:45
DaemonFCAnyway, I doubt that Microsoft couldn't get the documents for power management from Intel. They're in a position to demand anything they want.Sep 22 04:45
DaemonFC Sep 22 04:46
DaemonFCSo I respectfully disagree with Mr. Garrett about this being a power management issue, primarily. If people want to sacrifice battery life, that's their business, if in fact that is an issue with Linux. I welcome people who can run Linux to compare the runtime on a battery charge in Linux to the runtime on Windows. I would be very interested in those numbers so we're dealing with a known fact. But I'd like to run Linux even if I lose a few Sep 22 04:46

DaemonFCIt's a fake RAID set up to bypass a Windows storage driver with horrible power management issues, at least according to Matthew Garrett. I'm sorry that people so high up in the FSF and the Linux world can be so defeatist in their thinking.Sep 22 04:52
DaemonFCIn a way, having to listen to "It's our fault for not supporting RAID mode on a system that shouldn't be in RAID mode." or some version of it every time a PC OEM does something bonehead stupid or evil is like listening to a battered woman explain to the police why it's not her abusive boyfriend's fault that he got drunk and bashed her head into the wall.Sep 22 04:52

DaemonFCWhen you are responding to a forum that users are looking for linux, it means most of them have more than usual interaction with computer, so first of all when we install linux we know there could be some driver issues and we would manage it ourselves, you can simply say you don't support linux, so you won't answer any questions about linux. "Our Yoga design requires very specific, complex and unique drivers that require even greater Sep 22 06:11
DaemonFCamounts of testing" could be super magical for typical users, but for us it could be just our job! We are not in old times that a software bug could break the hardware, there are some protection in hardware. Also as you see many people run the Linux on extra flash disk which uses every resource other than hard disk. And the one who hacked the bios fully utilized it. So don't be over "sympathetic" for us not to run into problems.Sep 22 06:11

DaemonFCThe power management is done in the driver in this case. And since Intel does not disclose how to set up power management properly with these new disk controllers, Linux cannot do proper power management on this hardware, even in AHCI mode.Sep 22 08:27

DaemonFCI guess treating it as a "device" works, until you consider that this isn't like Android at all. This is x86 Windows where you are bound to run into malware or Windows hanging itself eventually and will NEED to recover from installation media, only thanks to Lenovo, that may be difficult. This is even if the user doesn't care about Linux at all.Sep 22 08:27

schestowitz    “I think that Lenovo’s official reply is insufficient and carefully worded. They talk about how much they love to support Linux and then say that they don’t support Linux on many of their own laptops. Actions speak louder than words, and there’s no technical reason other than the BIOS RAID mode lock why the Yoga 900 ISK2 and other affected systems wouldn’t be great Linux machines. I also think that locking down the thread and Sep 22 15:21
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights--> www.winbeta.org | Lenovo responds to Linux blocking issue, issues non-denial denial – WinBetaSep 22 15:21
schestowitzediting peoples comments and then blaming forum posters for being “disruptive” was uncalled for, and they’re obviously trying to turn this around and make it seem like I am overreacting or somehow I’m at fault for what they did. And unfortunately, some of the media reports have taken up this narrative instead of looking into why Lenovo would do such things to their computers. There is no REAL issue with Linux not supporting these Sep 22 15:21
schestowitzlaptops other than the one Lenovo created. They need to make a BIOS patch that users can install, like other Ultrabook PC makers did, not more excuses.”Sep 22 15:21
schestowitz“I think that [the BIOS RAID lock] was a deliberate design choice made by Lenovo, and I say that because the BIOS code that they use has AHCI mode available for the storage device, which Linux and Windows understand without any special drivers. Lenovo patched the code to remove the AHCI mode from the BIOS setup utility and then they wrote additional code to make sure that you can’t set AHCI mode with an EFI variable using EFI shell. So, Sep 22 15:21
schestowitzI’d say it’s definitely deliberate, and can’t see any LEGITIMATE reason why they would have. It isn’t really faster, it makes recovering Windows from Microsoft’s installer very difficult if you have to later. About the only thing putting a single SSD setup into RAID mode using the BIOS gives you is (a) Linux won’t be able to use the storage and (b) greater potential for data loss.”Sep 22 15:21
schestowitz“I think that Microsoft and Lenovo agreed to lock Linux out, and forcing RAID mode accomplishes that. In the last 11 months, nobody except one Lenovo forum poster that used a modded BIOS and an external flasher to get around Lenovo’s signature check on BIOS updates has managed to install Linux on the Yoga models affected by this. I believe that Lenovo and Microsoft figured that if Linux ever did get driver support for this configuration, Sep 22 15:21
schestowitzthat it would be years after the product was released, so it might as well be forever. Most people replace their laptop every 5 years or less, so almost nobody would ever be able to run Linux on the Yoga laptops while in their designed service life.”Sep 22 15:21

DaemonFCschestowitz, I've been writing on Lenovo's forums some more.Sep 22 20:51
DaemonFCSince Lenovo's attack on Linux also impedes setting up Windows from a Microsoft ISO if you ever need to, I worked last night on creating a slipstreamed installer that inludes their Rapid Storage driver so that Windows setup can see the SSD and install to it. I also bundled updated drivers straight from Intel.Sep 22 20:51
DaemonFC Sep 22 20:51
DaemonFCLenovo and Microsoft apparently see "Signature PCs" as a device (like a tablet or a phone with carrier locks), not a real computer, and as such, they have provided no easy way to restore the operating system in the event of a catastrophe that breaks "reset this PC" or makes the system unable to boot in the first place.Sep 22 20:51
DaemonFC Sep 22 20:51
DaemonFCUnlike an Android phone, which has a fairly decent design and a usable software store where Google can all-but-eliminate the possibility of there being malware, Windows 10 is an operating system tha steeped in decades of half-baked Windows code, horrible backwards compatibility garbage, and Microsoft hacks, and is 31 flavors of unreliable (including update installations getting stuck and unable to install and bad updates that cause boot Sep 22 20:51
DaemonFCloops and system freezing, and  it is completely riddled with bugs.Sep 22 20:51
DaemonFC Sep 22 20:51
DaemonFCThe Windows Store has so few decent applications, you can count them on your fingers. So you install most of your software the traditional way of grabbing some EXE off of the internet, and it doesn't look like that will change soon.  So you can't treat these things like a device. And I wonder how many people will end up having to ship their laptop back to Lenovo to get Windows reinstalled. Sep 22 20:51
DaemonFC Sep 22 20:51
DaemonFCOkay, so they have Windows Defender and SmartScreen. That's....something, at least. More than earlier Windows had, but we must remember that several pieces of malware have dodged all major virus scanners (including the ones people pay money for) for years, being completely undetected. Does anyone think that these people aren't testing Windows Defender? The Hacking Team leak showed internal documents including a checklist of antivirus Sep 22 20:51

DaemonFCMinceR, I edited to add this...Sep 22 21:02
DaemonFCJust comparing storage requirements and the optimal amount of installed RAM for each OS, Windows 10 needs approximately 700% more storage space and 200% more RAM than Ubuntu. Some people like to say that Windows 10 is efficient, yet it would require even more space if Microsoft hadn't deployed file compression on much of the Windows folder.Sep 22 21:02
DaemonFCAfter the part about the BBC talking about Ubuntu.Sep 22 21:02
MinceRand even ubuntu is extremely bloatedSep 22 21:02
DaemonFCMinceR, I made another post.Sep 22 21:06
DaemonFCInstalling Linux to a flash drive to use it with the Lenovo Yoga is unacceptable.Sep 22 21:06
DaemonFC Sep 22 21:06
DaemonFCA 512 GB NVMe SSD on Amazon will still set you back by about $350, so using Linux from a flash drive on this computer means that Lenovo has reduced the value of your machine by hundreds of dollars, and USB drives operating over USB 3 are nowhere near as fast as the SSD. Sep 22 21:06
DaemonFC Sep 22 21:06
DaemonFCLenovo and Microsoft know that, which is why they disabled access to this very valuable component if you try to run Linux.Sep 22 21:06
MinceRwell, yeahSep 22 21:07
MinceRif it only precluded booting from the internal device, that would be usable for meSep 22 21:07

MinceRmy FDE skill wasn't high enough to do it when i installed my laptopSep 22 21:07
DaemonFCMinceR, Added...Sep 22 21:08
DaemonFCAnd if some Very Smart People ever figure out a way to make the SSD visible again, I would STRONGLY advise never upgrading the laptop's firmware again, lest they find something else to break.Sep 22 21:08
MinceRindeedSep 22 21:08
MinceRhopefully they won't dare pull shit like this on models marketed to businessesSep 22 21:09
MinceRi doubt that a megacorporate client would like very much when told "no, you can't just deploy your corporate-wide standard images on these laptops"Sep 22 21:09

DaemonFCLenovo is a crappy company that actually wrote code enforcing the fake RAID mode by stripping the AHCI mode out of the GUI and then making sure that if you go into EFI Shell and set it yourself that it discards your setting and sets it back. First PC maker I've seen that ships computers that you can't even realistically (for the average user) reinstall Windows on. I will never buy another Lenovo computer again. I had to spend about an hour Sep 22 22:53
DaemonFCgoogling random support topics before I found a recommendation to use Universal Extractor. Then I had to find a beta version of Universal Extractor that supported the archive format in the setup program just to dig the Intel RST driver out of their godawful installer so that I can slipstream it into a Windows installer.Sep 22 22:53
DaemonFCMost people will have to pay to ship it back to Lenovo if Windows needs to be reinstalled, and be unable to use the computer for weeks, and it'll probably have some sensitive, confidential, work-related information on the SSD that someone at Lenovo could copy and steal while it's in their repair center.Sep 22 22:53
DaemonFCLenovo is a Chinese company and the Chinese steal American Intellectual Property all the time. Chinese spies even stole top secret attack helicopter engine designs complete with the software from the US government.Sep 22 22:55

DaemonFCI was talking about Matthew Garrett's position, and the overall tendency of Linux developers to fall on their sword every time some PC OEM does something nasty. It's not the fault of Linux that it can't install on the SSD in the Yoga laptops. It's the fault of Lenovo for removing AHCI mode, which would have let it install.Sep 22 23:14
DaemonFCThe fact that Garrett is on the FSF board just shows that they don't always make the best decisions. Like that time they put Miguel de Icaza on the board while he was trying to introduce Microsoft tech that was legally dangerous to use into Linux distributions. Microsoft never issued a patent license for things like Mono. They issued a covenant not to sue. They have sold patents off at auction to patent trolls that proceeded to sue Free Sep 22 23:14
DaemonFCSoftware before, and at one point there were patents describing OpenGL that just happened to get snapped up by a company that donated them to the Open Innovation Network. A consortium that protects Free Software.Sep 22 23:14
DaemonFCI edited that...Sep 22 23:15
DaemonFCIt's not that I don't think he's unqualified to work on the Linux kernel and other software. I just think that his positions on Free Software and apologizing for Microsoft constantly means that he undermines the FSF's mission. Sep 22 23:15

DaemonFC–]BaronHK 1 point an hour ago Sep 23 01:52
DaemonFCThere's really no difference between Chrome 53's battery life and Microsoft Edge's. I guess since Microsoft is making a slow, unusable, bug-riddled browser that doesn't really have any extensions to speak of, they have to resort to this. Microsoft Edge got lower scores on Peacekeeper than every other browser I tested.Sep 23 01:52
DaemonFCMicrosoft is obviously running Profile Guided Optimization while running Chakra (Edge's Javascript engine) through Javascript benchmark tests. And it's a shame that they have to lie about battery life because they can't make a browser that anyone wants to use. And it's a shame that they locked Cortana to Microsoft Edge and Bing in Windows 10 Anniversary because nobody wants to use Edge or Bing by choice. Microsoft is a dishonest company. Sep 23 01:52
DaemonFCThere is no "new Microsoft", only new anti-competitive tactics. New lies.Sep 23 01:52

DaemonFCBaronHK 1 point a minute ago Sep 23 07:10
DaemonFCSince the lockout seems to be a new requirement for their partners, ask me again when Microsoft releases the Surface Pro 5. Anyway, a patch to put the hardware back in AHCI mode after the BIOS exits is possibly in the works by Matthew Garrett, so if MSFT uses this method for the lockout, it may not work. I'm sure they'll find something else.Sep 23 07:10
DaemonFCIt has to be embarrassing to them that so many people ditch the nasty bug riddled Windows 10 and blog about how great Linux is on their Surface. I'm sure that's where the Lenovo "agreement" came from. Anyway, it lets them test the waters with someone else's branding on the machine before it gets rolled out elsewhere. And since so many people believe their crap that this wasn't intentional, the next Surface probably will come locked to a Sep 23 07:10

DaemonFC[–]Arkanta [score hidden] 6 minutes ago Sep 23 07:20
DaemonFCA small driver lockout like that is barely a lockout. Locking out the efi secure boot keys, now that's how you permanently fuck linux. Linux is absolutely no threat to MS in the consumer desktop field (you may wank yourself over this summer's >2% marketshare but MS laughs at that), and they're moving to selling services more and more, so this makes no sense.Sep 23 07:20
DaemonFCSorry for your tinfoil hat, but I'm gonna blame intel rather than MS here. I'm also gonna wait for the next surface to laugh at your paranoia even more.Sep 23 07:20

DaemonFCr_schestowitz, https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/542c8t/hardware_hack_enables_linux_support_on_lenovo/Sep 23 10:17
DaemonFCUPDATE: I pinged Matthew Garrett after someone had an idea about having the Linux kernel switch the hardware out of RAID and into AHCI mode AFTER the BIOS hands it over to the kernel, and he said it might work and that he'd see about writing a patch. This would have the practical effect of running Linux in AHCI mode on the Dell XPS, only through a Linux "hardware quirk" to deal with Lenovo doing nothing to fix the BIOS. Actually, Lenovo Sep 23 10:17
DaemonFChasn't done anything through this whole ordeal but lie, lie some more, try to delete evidence, get together with Microsoft and release a joint lie, and then pressure the news media to change their stories.Sep 23 10:17
DaemonFCALSO: According to a comment on this page, some people in Germany report that the European versions of the affected Yoga laptops don't have AHCI mode hidden in the BIOS. Perhaps because the EU takes locking users out of their PCs more seriously than the US government does.Sep 23 10:17

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.reddit.com | BaronHK comments on Hardware hack enables Linux support on Lenovo Yoga 900 ISK2, undermining Lenovo's statementSep 23 20:32
DaemonFCIn context. You need to expand the replies though.Sep 23 20:32
DaemonFC[–]mjg59Social Justice Warrior 19 points 9 hours ago Sep 23 20:33
DaemonFCRyan, you don't appear to know anything more about hardware now than you did when you claimed Foxconn were sabotaging Linux 8 years ago. 2W is about 50% of the idle consumption of a modern laptop. That's several hours of additional battery life. And, as pointed out elsewhere, the issue isn't the SSD itself - it's the fact that an incorrectly configured storage device will prevent the entire CPU package from going into deep sleep states, Sep 23 20:33
DaemonFCpotentially costing you far more power.Sep 23 20:33
DaemonFC[–]BaronHK[S] -8 points 9 hours ago* Sep 23 20:33
DaemonFCThe Dell XPS 13 had an issue where it couldn't go into into full power save mode when idle and the battery runtime went from 11 hours and 54 minutes after the fix. Before the fix it was 9 hours and 37 minutes. And that's not "several" hours, by the way. It's a hit, but not several hours.Sep 23 20:33
DaemonFCI would trade that to run Linux. It's still an all day charge. I've dealt with laptops running Windows that got 3 hours before. I think you're just overlooking how spoiled people have gotten. But whatever...Sep 23 20:33
DaemonFCThere's a cycle of lies being perpetuated by Lenovo in the media right now, as was the case with Superfish (Lenovo lied and lied and it came tumbling down at the end). You don't need to help them by laying all of the blame on Intel. Intel does more for Linux and open source than a lot of companies, like "NoVideo".Sep 23 20:33
DaemonFCLenovo has a PR damage control team on hand contacting the media and telling them to rewrite the story with Lenovo's lies featured in it.Sep 23 20:33
DaemonFCDell, on the other hand, just went ahead and released a new BIOS with AHCI mode when people complained. I guess I know where to take my hard-earned money next time.Sep 23 20:33

DaemonFC[–]mjg59Social Justice Warrior 1 point 2 hours ago Sep 23 20:33
DaemonFCI would trade that to run LinuxSep 23 20:33
DaemonFCThat's great! But for most people who own this laptop, it'd be an option that increased their power consumption without providing any benefit. Deciding not to offer that option isn't "blocking" Linux. Deciding not to release and support firmware that provides that option isn't "blocking" Linux. Failing to support it, sure - but there are many vendors who ship hardware that's unsupported by Linux (try installing Linux on a current Macbook, Sep 23 20:33
DaemonFCfor instance), and our failure to support that hardware isn't their problem.Sep 23 20:33
DaemonFC(Nice Social Justice Warrior flair, btw. Do you need a safe space or a trigger word?)Sep 23 20:33
DaemonFCYou're the one responds to criticism by signing people up to spam lists. Sure you're not the one who needs a safe space?Sep 23 20:33
DaemonFC[–]BaronHK[S] 1 point 4 minutes ago Sep 23 20:34
DaemonFC"That's great! But for most people who own this laptop, it'd be an option that increased their power consumption without providing any benefit."Sep 23 20:34
DaemonFCSo having the Linux kernel kick the damned thing back into AHCI mode after the BIOS exits, which will be reset on the next reboot anyway is going to affect Windows users who will never use Linux?Sep 23 20:34
DaemonFCOr maybe an AHCI mode option from Lenovo that says "Warning: Changing this option will lower your battery runtime. Only change it if you know what you are doing!" and then letting people who want to run Linux toggle it? That affects Windows users? Most of them don't even know that there is a BIOS, much less how to get into it during the 1 second window that you have to hit the key to get into the setup.Sep 23 20:34
DaemonFC"Our failure to support that hardware isn't their problem."Sep 23 20:34
DaemonFCThe failure is that Linux doesn't know how to deal with this insanity and kick the system back out to AHCI mode so it WORKS with maybe 8-10% less runtime on the battery (if the XPS is a good example of what happens in AHCI mode) until the day when Linux developers know what to do to get ideal power management on the hardware. NOT WORKING AT ALL is worse than not working ideally.Sep 23 20:34
DaemonFCThat's the real failure here. And if it can be fixed with a few lines of code and it won't be, because we're supposed to wait on those assholes at Lenovo to do something official with the BIOS (which they never will because they already said they won't, and even mentioned the Microsoft deal before they walked it back) then that's even worse.Sep 23 20:34
DaemonFCYou've bashed Intel before because of your "SJW" crap. So, how do we know you're being fair to Intel?Sep 23 20:34
DaemonFC"You're the one responds to criticism by signing people up to spam lists."Sep 23 20:34
DaemonFCFirst of all.....you're still blaming me for that even though I already clearly stated that I had no idea what you were on about. Secondly, that was eight years ago? Jesus....Sep 23 20:34
DaemonFCThen someone else came in.....Sep 23 20:35

DaemonFC(Nice Social Justice Warrior flair, btw. Do you need a safe space or a trigger word?)Sep 23 20:35
DaemonFCFuck right off.Sep 23 20:35
DaemonFCI don't particularly like some of mjg's social stances, and I'd happily argue with him if I met him, but the guy's technical abilities are top notch. Shit, he probably knows more about various bits of Lenovo hardware from experience alone than some of the folks at Lenovo (I can personally confirm he definitely knows more than some of the mid-level people there...)Sep 23 20:35
DaemonFCHis positions on various social issues are irrelevant to his expertise on the matter at hand. And -- unlike you -- he does have expertise.Sep 23 20:35
DaemonFC(Lenovo lied and lied and it came tumbling down at the end)Sep 23 20:35
DaemonFCYes it was a dumb decision to bundle it in the first place.Sep 23 20:35
DaemonFCBut perhaps you can tell me what part of a mea culpa, reaching out to anti-spyware/anti-adware vendors to ensure blacklisting, removing it from the preinstall images, and releasing a goddamn removal tool that they open sourced counts as "Lenovo lied and it came tumbling down"?Sep 23 20:35
DaemonFCIt's pretty clear that you have it out for Lenovo. And, whatever, that's cool. Don't buy their shit.Sep 23 20:35
DaemonFCBut don't lie. And when you're called out by an expert, don't keep lying and resort to ad-hominem attacks.Sep 23 20:35
DaemonFC[–]BaronHK[S] 1 point 19 minutes ago* Sep 23 20:37
DaemonFCWhat Lenovo did was wait until all of their lies and bullshit ran out and then offered a fucking removal tool for the shit that they put on millions of computers, some probably still running Superfish today, complete with the self-signed cert that they said was "not a security problem"! Motherfuckers.Sep 23 20:37
DaemonFCIt's well known that Garrett has done things for horrible political reasons. He's an Intel basher, so why wouldn't he blame Intel and vastly overstate the power usage of the hardware in AHCI mode. (It doesn't seem to bother Dell users. Linus Torvalds said he bought a Dell XPS system, and that's the mode it's running in, right?) Garrett bashed Intel because of a phony scandal and it's people like him that basically bled GNOME's finances dry Sep 23 20:37
DaemonFCon an "outreach to women" program that basically had no results in the end.Sep 23 20:37
DaemonFCIf I'm going to donate money to GNOME, I'd like it to be used to develop GNOME and promote GNOME and not on some noxious politically correct SJW campaign. I think they've lost their damned minds, personally.Sep 23 20:37
DaemonFChttp://www.pcworld.com/article/2143160/gnome-foundation-faces-cash-crunch-over-women-outreach-program.htmlSep 23 20:37
DaemonFCIf women want to join open source development, maybe they'll just do it without the pandering and obnoxious SJW people spending all the cash the project has on marketing to a demographic that is perhaps, just not interested.Sep 23 20:37
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-Gnome Foundation faces cash crunch over women outreach program | PCWorldSep 23 20:37

TervyHoly macaroni that was a lot of textSep 23 20:40
DaemonFC[–]CrimeOfOpportunity [score hidden] 17 minutes ago Sep 23 20:43
DaemonFCThere's some good points listed there but nothing beyond speculation unfortunately. And it doesn't change the fact that this BIOS lock thus far has shown to be exclusive to North America (or at least, excludes European markets)Sep 23 20:43
DaemonFCAs a recap, here's what demographic this conspiracy aims to steal: North American owners of Lenovo Yoga 900 IKS2 laptops. I don't know who formulated this backhanded stuff, but it's hardly Dan Brown material.Sep 23 20:43
DaemonFCAnd again, it doesn't explain the fact that were this to become widespread, the linux kernel would in all likelihood respond by upping the effort to support RAID, rendering the whole conspiracy moot.Sep 23 20:43
DaemonFCWe deal with hardware support issues all the time, this is hardly evidence of some kind of campaign against Linux.Sep 23 20:43
DaemonFC[–]BaronHK[S] 1 point just now Sep 23 20:44
DaemonFCIt's actually four models of Yoga laptops and about to be six as soon as the 910 and Yoga Book Windows Edition is out. (There's an Android edition of the Yoga Book scheduled to launch, but knowing Lenovo, I wouldn't put it past them to make it come with a bunch of crapware marked "system app", but maybe you can take root and get rid of it if that happens.)Sep 23 20:44
DaemonFCWell, Matthew Garrett did reply to that.Sep 23 21:04

DaemonFCThe failure is that Linux doesn't know how to deal with this insanity and kick the system back out to AHCI mode so it WORKSSep 23 21:04
DaemonFCThat's certainly a possible solution. Intel are in the best position to write that code. I may attempt it in the next few days.Sep 23 21:04
DaemonFCI think that my point that not working at all is worse than not working ideally was correct.Sep 23 21:05
DaemonFCAnd he overstated the impact AHCI mode will have on battery life.Sep 23 21:05
DaemonFCIn the Dell's case, you're dealing with about 9 hours and 40 minutes instead of 11 hours 56 minutes with the Intel power management, because they had the original skylake power issue which prevented deep sleep. So that was the runtimes for Windows, at least..Sep 23 21:06
DaemonFCGarrett said "several hours" but it's really more like 2Sep 23 21:07
razielle_tzutwo and a bit, big dealSep 23 21:07
DaemonFCYeah, but we don't know the testing situation that the magazine used either.Sep 23 21:07
DaemonFCMy system is hardly ever in a situation where it could go into deep sleep.Sep 23 21:08

DaemonFCSomeone asked about the idea to kick the hardware into AHCI mode using the Linux kernel on Reddit, so I replied:Sep 23 23:00
DaemonFC Sep 23 23:00
DaemonFCThe beauty of the idea to have Linux kick the machine into AHCI after GRUB starts the kernel is that it gets reset on every boot, and then goes into AHCI mode again when you select Linux.Sep 23 23:00
DaemonFC Sep 23 23:00
DaemonFCWhen you select Windows, it will be in the fake RAID mode and you still get full power management, and you won't even have to install Windows again to avoid BSoDs.Sep 23 23:00
DaemonFC Sep 23 23:00
DaemonFCAnd there's nothing Lenovo can do about it since we'd only be using their stupid BIOS to bring the machine out and then throwing out their RAID mode once Linux takes over. As long as you don't get a BIOS update that breaks something else. A BIOS update could break Linux again if Lenovo really intended it to, but I'm thinking after being embroiled in a scandal, they won't try this again. Once is a mistake, twice is a habit. You know? That's Sep 23 23:00
DaemonFCmy opinion.Sep 23 23:00
DaemonFC Sep 23 23:00
DaemonFCHopefully once we have an interim fix in place that lets us boot Linux, someone can add support for Lenovo's fake RAID mode later, remove the quirk, and we get full power management back. Until then, maybe you get 9 hours instead of 10 on a charge. I haven't tested so I don't know. I would accept the hit to get away from Windows 10, even if we never figure out a solution that lets us run in the RAID mode and support Intel's undocumented Sep 23 23:00

DaemonFCIntel isn't running EFI anymore. They turned over the spec to a "consortium", and it's a terrible spec. 7,000 pages. Contradicts itself. There will certainly be thousands of bugs. It's basically a rootkit....and so on.Sep 23 23:19

DaemonFCWindows 10 isn't "unstable" like earlier releases were where you got a blue screen of death every few days. I've only gotten two blue screens of death in the last 13 months of using Windows 10, and they both happened on the initial release (there have been two more since).Sep 24 00:00
DaemonFCWindows 10 is unstable in the sense that it has all kinds of weird bugs that show up and are difficult to reproduce. Like your Bluetooth starts acting up or telling you to reboot the computer when you pair your headphones, and then you shut down and turn the PC back on and it behaves for a while. Same with touchscreen. Updates can hang themselves and require you to reset Windows update and then install the offline package. Just a lot of Sep 24 00:00
DaemonFCthings that shouldn't ever happen to an end user, and usually don't on Mac or Linux due to higher code quality and a more thorough testing process before the release is marked stable and sent out to users.Sep 24 00:00
DaemonFCI hear that Microsoft fired most of their testers and is relying on "telemetry". What does that mean? They push it out to users, see what breaks, and then temporarily halt the updates on that particular system (leaving the people who already got the update in trouble, but Microsoft doesn't seem to care).Sep 24 00:00

r_schestowitz"Sep 24 07:57
r_schestowitzI’m worried about the false narrative implications of this one. Apparently, this was a hybrid attack where UEFI implemented an older style hostile hardware denial of gnu/linux. The apologists are ignoring UEFI to give us the decades old excuse, “Those hobbyists just aren’t in the loop and don’t have the drivers for this one.” That false perception can mask more deliberate attacks in the future if people let their guard down.Sep 24 07:57
r_schestowitzUEFI is Microsoft’s infrastructure to nuke gnu/linux but they can’t do it all at once. They can mess with people even if they no longer run Windows, and even if Windows was never installed, because UEFI is network aware. They can identify gnu/linux users with the same infrastructure Edward Snowden showed us the NSA and Microsoft contractors used to identify “sysadmins”. The two combined give Microsoft the ability to launch denial Sep 24 07:57
r_schestowitzof service attacks that will be hard to detect. Extra vigilance is called for by anyone who’s trying to run free software on top of UEFI.Sep 24 07:57

r_schestowitzMatthew Garrett jumps to Microsoft and Intel’s defense, how sickening.Sep 24 07:58
r_schestowitzhttp://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/44694.htmlSep 24 07:58
r_schestowitzMicrosoft and Intel made this awful UEFI for the sole purpose of controlling what gets booted. Even Garrett admits the implementation does little or nothing for actual security. The implementation did make booting GNU/Linux much harder and make doing so almost pointless. UEFI is a complete, non free OS that can betray the user no matter what software the user “chooses” from the list of allowed operating systems. Microsoft can withdraw Sep 24 07:58
r_schestowitztheir key at anytime, for any reason which will nuke your ability to boot gnu/linux. For people that value their freedom, that might be better than running on top of UEFI.Sep 24 07:58
r_schestowitzGiven that reality, it beggars imagination that Garrett would say, “Neither interpretation [of Lenovo’s Microsoft Lock Down Agreement] indicates that there’s a deliberate attempt to prevent users from installing their choice of operating system.” He reaches this conclusion by saying the equipment won’t run without good power management, that not many people want to run GNU/Linux anyway, and that, “there are several free Sep 24 07:58
r_schestowitzoperating systems that support UEFI Secure Boot and have appropriate signatures.” Wow, just wow. He’ll probably use the same logic when all hardware is like this shit because nothing reasonable has been made in seven years. Because, Microsoft made installing free software extremely difficult and mostly pointless on such hardware, he can conclude they never intended to block free software. All evidence of success at blocking free Sep 24 07:58

r_schestowitzThis is a new low for Garrett.Sep 24 07:58
r_schestowitz'Sep 24 07:58
r_schestowitzI agree, disturbing to see so many people defending him and FSF giving him an award. He helped popularise UEFI 'secure' boot with shimSep 24 07:58
DaemonFCr_schestowitz, How did he get the software freedom award in 2013?Sep 24 07:59

r_schestowitzthey hoped for puff "yoga" piecesSep 24 07:59
DaemonFCI haven't seen any changes.Sep 24 07:59
r_schestowitzinstead if was all negative publicity everywhereSep 24 07:59

r_schestowitzand then slagged off GNU/LinuxSep 24 08:00
r_schestowitzin favour of BSDSep 24 08:00
r_schestowitzhe calls himself "SJW" and has a flair to that effect in redditSep 24 08:01
r_schestowitzhe uses a lot of bad language and insultsSep 24 08:01
DaemonFCr_schestowitz, Do you know anyone else that could write a patch and get it mainlined to kick these fake raid Ultrabooks out of RAID and into AHCI mode after the BIOS exits?Sep 24 08:15
DaemonFCI don't think that Garrett is....reliable. He might do something, so he can praise himself for it.Sep 24 08:15
DaemonFCI wouldn't care why as long as it worked and made it into the upstream kernel somehow.Sep 24 08:15
DaemonFCI think the only reason he wrote that patch for the G33M-S Foxconn board was to show that he could do it with two lines of code and then say "See, look. Happens all the time. No sabotage here!".Sep 24 08:16
DaemonFCThe problem only took two lines of code to fix once it was known what the problem was, but it was copying undocumented Windows behavior that fixed it.Sep 24 08:17
DaemonFCAnd no telling how many systems had that bugged BIOS (Foxconn makes boards for many vendors).Sep 24 08:18
DaemonFCPeople install Linux, go "Huh....broked." and leave.Sep 24 08:18

r_schestowitzhe's not a pleasant personSep 24 08:25
r_schestowitzhe commented many times in techrightsSep 24 08:25
r_schestowitzreasoning with him is like debating a religious person about "Creation"Sep 24 08:26

DaemonFCIt has nothing to do with the project, it's speculation and presumption of guilt, and it goes against pretty much every statement that RMS has made publicly.Sep 24 22:25
DaemonFCI'd be sympathetic if it was much more believable.Sep 24 22:25
DaemonFCI'm sure that the bbuck stopped with RMS regarding the firing decision and there was probably a good reason for it, and there are lots of reasons that they might not want to talk about it.Sep 24 22:26

DaemonFCI posted a thread about this. The appalling lack off professionalism by people such as Leah Rowe is one of the reasons why companies don't want to partner with Free Software projects, I'm sure. You get poisonous SJWs in a lot of high places, and their histrionics are a poor advertisement for the Free Software movement.Sep 24 22:33

DaemonFCYou haven't had Nvidia's proprietary driver crash your system that you know of. I'm sure you're an expert at tracing errors back to the component that caused them...Sep 24 22:41
DaemonFCAlmost every Linux distribution disables kernel debugging and won't let you file bug reports if you have Nvidia loaded because systems with proprietary graphics drivers crash way more than systems without them and developers are sick of wasting time finding out it's our friend the Nvidia driver again and that there is no way to fix it.Sep 24 22:41
DaemonFCSince the X.org server is tainted as well, and it handles keyboard input, the Nvidia driver turned out to be why my keyboard would stop working occasionally while I had Nvidia loaded. Finally I just got rid of Nvidia because I was tired of it causing seemingly random problems throughout my OS.Sep 24 22:43

DaemonFCSomeone keeps reverting my edits about Cortana on the Windows 10 article. So I rephrased it and added an entry about disabling Cortana completely.Sep 18 23:31
DaemonFCIn Windows 10 "Redstone", Cortana ignores the user's default web browser and search engine and only opens web searches with Microsoft Edge and Bing. Microsoft claims that this is necessary to prevent a "compromised experience that is less reliable and predictable".[134] Users had previously been using their preferred search engine by installing Chrome extensions like bing2google[135], and Firefox had been redirecting Cortana searches to the Sep 18 23:31
DaemonFCuser's default search engine.[136] Nevertheless, another workaround was devised following the "Redstone" release, which restores the ability to direct Cortana searches to the user's preferred browser and search engine, by way of an open source utility called SearchWithMyBrowser that hooks into the "microsoft-edge:" protocol and opens anything that calls it in the user's preferred browser.[137][138]Sep 18 23:31
DaemonFCWindows 10 "Redstone" removes the setting to turn off Cortana that was previously in the Cortana settings menu. However, users can still disable Cortana by using the Group Policy Editor or a registry setting.[139]Sep 18 23:31

schestowitzantilope: what's up?Sep 19 17:32
antilopeI like to read your news on the EPO! I am an examinerSep 19 17:32
antilopemany of follow your sire (at home..)Sep 19 17:33
antilopesiteSep 19 17:33
antilopeis there a topic on which you are really interested for info? I mean patent wise, not those subjects like Topic, Bergot etc...Sep 19 17:35
schestowitzthanks, let me thinkSep 19 17:36
antilopeI for example got a list with EP grants that are not new .... where the search work was soooo apalling you can hardly believe itSep 19 17:37
schestowitzI think patent scope (what I covered before the BB scandals) is importanytSep 19 17:37
antilopebecause that is the latest develoment, Munich style searches become standard...Sep 19 17:37
antilopeaha that is interesting indeedSep 19 17:38
schestowitzI lack information about the stocks and the nature of patents, e.g. softwareSep 19 17:38
antilopeaha for us quite easy to find in the overall workload systemSep 19 17:38
schestowitzEPO promotes software patents in Twitter a lot this month, much to our shock (FFII also)Sep 19 17:38
schestowitzthey call it "computer-implemented" usuallySep 19 17:39
schestowitzor CIISep 19 17:39
antilopeour guess is, within 2 to 3 years we are out of stock (also for examination) and than the big question is what next with us examinersSep 19 17:39
antilopeI also sometimes grant controllers, but it is in mz case always linked to an apparatus (a control for ...)Sep 19 17:40
schestowitzWorry for examiners, yesSep 19 17:40
schestowitzi worry about all those patents that sneaked in and are of low qualitySep 19 17:40
schestowitzincluding patents on plants, algorithms, etc.Sep 19 17:40
schestowitzthe apparatus thing is the loophole of BrimelowSep 19 17:41
schestowitzthe "as such" thing, which means say it's connected to a "device" or "apparatus" to make it look not abstractSep 19 17:41
antilopethere are plenty bad grants, but it is now getting an epidemiaSep 19 17:41
schestowitzEPO (in Twitter) not actually advertises these loopholes, it helps applicants get around the rules to increase "productivity" I suppose, or "production"Sep 19 17:42
schestowitzany information related to this would be handySep 19 17:42
antilopethe question is, are patents a goal or just a meansSep 19 17:42
schestowitzwithout patent numbers as that can reveal identity of examiners assigned theseSep 19 17:42
antilopeI will think a bit for you and keep you updated under this nameSep 19 17:42
schestowitzantilope: Battistelli studied in ENASep 19 17:43
schestowitzI don't think he even knows what patent systems are forSep 19 17:43
schestowitzINPI wasn't just for patentsSep 19 17:43
schestowitzalso trademarks, like that Wine branding thing of oligarchs in FranceSep 19 17:43
antilopewe all know this, in our opinion he is not the worst but that is minnoyeSep 19 17:43
antilopehe is the real kind slayer, the one who makes the big damage to the EPOSep 19 17:44
schestowitzI don't know enough about him, except that old ILO appeal where he's mentionedSep 19 17:44
antilopeCPC is killing usSep 19 17:44
antilopeking slayerSep 19 17:44
schestowitzwhat's CPC, pardon?Sep 19 17:44
antilopethe classification project with the USSep 19 17:44
schestowitzI think that the EPO wants to attract mirrored applications at the EPOSep 19 17:45
schestowitzso that all those patent trolls can get a patent extended to the EPOSep 19 17:45
schestowitzwith or without the UPCSep 19 17:45
schestowitzand then troll European companies, tooSep 19 17:45
antilopebasically, a lot of the "production increases" got paid by putting less man hours in the classification activitiesSep 19 17:45
schestowitzthis would hurt a lot more than just examiners, also Birtish companies here that deal with softwareSep 19 17:46
schestowitzso it's not production, it's grantSep 19 17:46
antilopewe say; He who controls the classification in fact controls the patent qualitySep 19 17:46
schestowitzproduction as measured in grants, not hours put inSep 19 17:46
antilopeyes, believe me, this year 2016 will see an enormous rise in grants, sure for me (I guess it will be like 30 % up)Sep 19 17:47
antilopewe now (as today) grant a lot of stuff that was 10 - 15 years ready on the shelvesSep 19 17:47
antilopemy oldest one in the docket has a prority date from 1997...curious what will happen after we pass that daySep 19 17:48
antilopemeanwhile we neglect collectively the classification system, no maintenance, no new development, no one feeld responsible anymoreSep 19 17:49

antilopethe next funny event to come is 14 Oct. a social conference one day before AC meetingSep 19 17:52
schestowitzHave these issues been raised to politicians?Sep 19 17:52
schestowitzThe social issues typically take up all the iotaSep 19 17:52
antilopeno of course not, what do they know??Sep 19 17:53
schestowitzthey barely understand what patents areSep 19 17:53

antilopelet me explain. for most EPO issue money is not really a problem , but just a meansSep 19 17:57
schestowitzin exchange for - ahem - 'fair' coverage ahead of releasesSep 19 17:57
schestowitzit's a problem when  this money corrupts the mediaSep 19 17:57
schestowitzand then the public is being sold -literally- a lieSep 19 17:58
schestowitzit will happen next monthSep 19 17:58
schestowitz"EPO staff is happy about reforms" etc.Sep 19 17:58
antilopefor us, it is the whole set up with this weak AC on top of the water head that is the problemSep 19 17:58
schestowitzThey already paid some big papers, inc. The Financial Times of LondonSep 19 17:58
antilopeplus that seriously not a single politician is interestedSep 19 17:58
schestowitzbusiness people read these, they don't bother with blogs or suepo.orgSep 19 17:58
schestowitzpoliticians can't helpSep 19 17:59
schestowitz1. because epo is non-eu bodySep 19 17:59
antilopesuepo, of which I am not a memer, is quite moderate in the last yearsSep 19 17:59
schestowitz2. there's nothing for them to gain, unless it's a french opposition (to sarkozy) partySep 19 17:59
schestowitzwe need more leaks from the EPOSep 19 17:59
schestowitzlike E-mails that show how the system got 'cooked' to increase grantsSep 19 17:59
schestowitzthat would harm those who plotted this courseSep 19 18:00
schestowitzGrant Philpott shat himself when I did this and I got nasty lettersSep 19 18:00
schestowitzone day I'll rerelease thatSep 19 18:00
schestowitzthe main question is, antilope, what to show for maximal impactSep 19 18:02
schestowitzsometimes they say things they really shouldn't be sayingSep 19 18:02
schestowitzand once seen from the outside they need to own up to itSep 19 18:02
antilopeI do not want to harm, but what we need is a transparant system without secret working contracts, without paid coverage, and without badly searched appliationsSep 19 18:02
antilopeby the way, all of us love your Topic coverage!!Sep 19 18:03
schestowitzthat would work, but they won't do that out of goodwillSep 19 18:03
schestowitzyou need to impose transparencySep 19 18:03
antilopeI sat with him, what a complete ........Sep 19 18:03
schestowitzTopic I haven't heard about in a while, I wonder what happened in Zagreb this summerSep 19 18:04
schestowitzI heard there used to be photos of him in suepo forumsSep 19 18:04
schestowitzin his MercSep 19 18:04
antilopeAs I cannot be sure it is really you, as you cannot be sure it is really antilope, I have to keep a bit vagueSep 19 18:04
schestowitzwhich he claims to have bought from SIPO or whateverSep 19 18:04
schestowitzIs it true some of your folks call him "Putin", still?Sep 19 18:05
antilopeI do not knowSep 19 18:05
schestowitzAn article in German said so around 2014 or 2013Sep 19 18:05
antilopeI think the poor man has no ballsSep 19 18:05
antilopePutin hasSep 19 18:05
schestowitzI wll publish something about the IU tomorrowSep 19 18:06
antilopewell, you did not read on your latest "security" communique...?Sep 19 18:07
antilopeOh we get scanners...Sep 19 18:07
antilopeand more useless stuffSep 19 18:07
schestowitzbody scanners (or for bags) I heard aboutSep 19 18:07
antilopefor bagsSep 19 18:08
schestowitzUnless there's something more recentSep 19 18:08
schestowitzI leaked some internal comms about it at the timeSep 19 18:08
schestowitzI can link to it as "old news", I need new material if this has escalated since that iranian bloke went on a shooting spree in MunichSep 19 18:08
antilopeno no no-one is really interested in the EPO, believe me, you can shoot a cannon and only a few will wake upSep 19 18:09
antilope20 million for the reward package...a shitty deal for usSep 19 18:10
antilopewe are being separated in the Have's and Have-notsSep 19 18:10
schestowitzwhat's this package?Sep 19 18:11
schestowitzA collective award to staff?Sep 19 18:11
schestowitzto be split among them?Sep 19 18:11
antilopeOf course, last 2015 all directors and principal directors got heavily rewarded...but the examiners notSep 19 18:12
antilopeyes 9 million for pensionable awards like salary step increases, and the rest for 2 types of bonuses and one-off rewardsSep 19 18:13
schestowitzthey increased "production"Sep 19 18:13
schestowitzby planning a s***y systemSep 19 18:13
schestowitzwhere the priority is to empty the shelves, not properly separate the wheat from the chaffSep 19 18:13
antilopeno they did nothing, it was the examiners and the administrative staff, you should have seen the huge piles with grants it was incredibleSep 19 18:13
schestowitzanother USPTO in the makingSep 19 18:14
antilopeI mean piles to the ceiling, earlier this yearSep 19 18:14
schestowitzapplicants were probably happySep 19 18:14
schestowitzuntil later on, when they find out EPs are losing valueSep 19 18:14
schestowitzand people distrust EPsSep 19 18:14
antilopewe are now basicallz emptying our stock (examination) and it is going pretty fastSep 19 18:14
antilopeyou are fully rightSep 19 18:14
schestowitzit's easySep 19 18:15
schestowitzchecked this, checked thatSep 19 18:15
schestowitzdidn't find anythingSep 19 18:15
schestowitzdecision: grantSep 19 18:15
schestowitzit's not even like you have to produce anything, just say "found nothing"Sep 19 18:15
antilopeand the good news is, we are even rewarded in case op oppositions!Sep 19 18:15
schestowitzwhat is that?Sep 19 18:16
schestowitzwas ist das?Sep 19 18:16
schestowitzcase op?Sep 19 18:16
antiloperemark: The bulk what is granted now has still pretty good search reports, but that is going to change quicklySep 19 18:16
antilopein case of an opposition, we get time like 2 or 3 days Sep 19 18:16
antilopethat is good for our productivitySep 19 18:17
antilopesome dicrectorates got 3 times more oppo's as their counterpart (which should be kind of identical)Sep 19 18:17
antilopethe new mantra is: TimelinessSep 19 18:18
antilopeBut not a single applicant is interested  in this , they want qualitySep 19 18:18
schestowitzor "earlySep 19 18:18
schestowitz"?Sep 19 18:18
schestowitzapplicants want quality?Sep 19 18:18
schestowitzDoubt itSep 19 18:18
schestowitzthey want collective qualitySep 19 18:18
schestowitzeven those who are not applicants and can be sued/shaken downSep 19 18:19
schestowitzquality is a long-term reputational thingSep 19 18:19
schestowitztake universities for exampleSep 19 18:19
schestowitzmy friend's partner has her phd viva in 1.5 weeksSep 19 18:19
schestowitzthey can just let her passSep 19 18:19
schestowitzand they're rewarded for itSep 19 18:19
antilopeyes believe me, if you put so much money in your patent portfolio you want a certain quality I have been in at least 20 huge companies and they all conveyed this message (think of: Philips, Daikin, Mitsubishi, Honeywell etc etc)Sep 19 18:20
schestowitzbut at what stage does a university accept so many theses that it's just considered to be a crap university? Same situation at the EPO now..Sep 19 18:20
schestowitzwell, they want the veneer of EPO stampSep 19 18:20
schestowitzto maybe convince the companies they come to meet about "licensing"Sep 19 18:20
antilopethere are still capable courts active in Europe who decide on the validity of a patentSep 19 18:21
schestowitzbut when EPO is associated with patent disputed and trashed in court (see Apple) they'll think twice before suingSep 19 18:21
schestowitzand companies might refuse to pay upSep 19 18:21
schestowitza patent is just a negotiation cardSep 19 18:21
antilopedepends on how strong it isSep 19 18:21
schestowitzand EPs will lose their compelling value if the public finds out how shallow the examination is/wasSep 19 18:21
antilopeEPI pen in the US is another perfect example, complete bogus of courseSep 19 18:22
schestowitzepi?Sep 19 18:22
schestowitzwho deleted their criticism of BB?Sep 19 18:22
antilopewell this diabetes injectorSep 19 18:22
schestowitzah, different EPISep 19 18:23
schestowitzI saw an article today about the 'miracle' drugSep 19 18:23
antilopethey got a patent on the safety cap, and now charge like 150 dollar for something costing 10 bucks before (thanks USPTO)Sep 19 18:23

schestowitzmiraculous riseSep 19 18:24
schestowitz8 bn dollar valuationSep 19 18:24
schestowitzfor a scamSep 19 18:24
schestowitzmore miraculous then Bergot's appointment evenSep 19 18:24
schestowitzmaybe BB will pursue hiring herSep 19 18:25
schestowitzshe can give a keynote at the Social ConferenceSep 19 18:25
schestowitzfollowed by the clowns of FFPESep 19 18:25
antilopeBergot has tremendous fat ass, according to our secretary who sat with her on the plane..Sep 19 18:25
antilopebut you fly out if you make a joke on this!Sep 19 18:25
schestowitzI heard some personal insultsSep 19 18:25
antilopevous etes vireessssSep 19 18:25
schestowitzI never published these, I pocket these, they're not suitable for publicationSep 19 18:26
schestowitzalso, they can reveal who talks to whoSep 19 18:26
antilopeby lauging the misery away we survive, like being in the trenchesSep 19 18:26
schestowitzyes, I knowSep 19 18:26
schestowitzthe management doesn't like itSep 19 18:26
schestowitzBergot has two buddies/guards nowSep 19 18:27
schestowitzBB's 'treat'Sep 19 18:27
antilopewe wonder whySep 19 18:27
schestowitzI'm sure there's some nice phrase for it in FrenchSep 19 18:27
antilopeour french colleguaes are not so fond f her, and her big friendSep 19 18:27
antilopebut we should respect all players in mz opinionSep 19 18:28
schestowitzdoes something control BB?Sep 19 18:29
schestowitzLike large corporations? (not rhetorical)Sep 19 18:29
antilopeI guess notSep 19 18:29
antilopeno noSep 19 18:29
schestowitzor some politicians (EU/FR)?Sep 19 18:29
antilopeyou have to dig into his family background, it is really simple middle class people with those narrow minded ideasSep 19 18:30
schestowitzso he really does take the plane nosediving into the AlpsSep 19 18:30
schestowitzbecause what he does ruins the OfficeSep 19 18:30
antilopethe see it differentlySep 19 18:30
antilopemoney is no 1Sep 19 18:30
antilopebut in our opinion it should be simply that we do our duties, not more and not lessSep 19 18:31
schestowitzhe can sell his mother's blood for money, but that would not be a virtuous moveSep 19 18:31
schestowitzmoney short term, maybeSep 19 18:31

antilopedid you ever contact this Oliveira Prakken office?Sep 19 18:32
schestowitzhis UPC plans came tumbling downSep 19 18:32
antilopewhen the EPO org was trying to silence you?Sep 19 18:32
antilopethat UPC is a lame duckSep 19 18:32
schestowitzno, never spoke to them, why?Sep 19 18:32
antilopebut the duck does not want to know thisSep 19 18:32
antilopebtw, realize that a UPC judge is going to earn less than an experienced EPO examiner, so they can forget to attract skilled people accept form Eastern EuropeSep 19 18:33
antilopeI think these lawyers are pretty good in what they doSep 19 18:34
antilopewell, lets wait for end of next week verdictSep 19 18:34
schestowitzwaitSep 19 18:34
schestowitzyou mean "would"Sep 19 18:35
schestowitznot "going to"Sep 19 18:35
schestowitzAll those 'jobs' advertised in the UK for UPC turned out, as I predicted, to be bogus ones, for positions that did not exist or would not existSep 19 18:35
schestowitzsame with the court they were preparing in LondonSep 19 18:35

DaemonFCCopyright Cartel Logic: If we make it impossible to watch Netflix programs in other countries, they totally won't use pirate streaming sites that are free.Sep 20 22:43
MinceRyeah, totallySep 20 22:43
MinceRbut at least they'll break the web in the attemptSep 20 22:43
DaemonFCMinceR, Netflix intentionally degrades the video in Chrome and Firefox anyway.Sep 20 22:44
DaemonFC720p no matter what you're paying for.Sep 20 22:44
MinceRsimilarly to how they intentionally degraded web standardsSep 20 22:44
DaemonFCThe only way to get 1080p is Internet Explorer, Edge, Safari, or the Windows Store app.Sep 20 22:45
DaemonFCNo way to do 4K Netflix streaming on a PC.Sep 20 22:45
DaemonFCSo unless you have a smart tv or a streaming box that does 4K and is "authorized" by Netflix, it's impossible to watch in 4K even if you pay for it.Sep 20 22:45

MinceRtypical MAFIAA bullshitSep 20 22:47
DaemonFCNetflix won't TELL you that. It's only known because the secret menu that you can bring up with a key como shows what resolution it's playing in.Sep 20 22:48
DaemonFCSo they'll sell you service that you can't actually use and then won't tell you that you're not getting that level of service.Sep 20 22:48
DaemonFCWhich is false advertising.Sep 20 22:48

DaemonFCHBO isn't suing people. They're using the complaint letters as a way of saying "We know what you did. Why don't you subscribe to HBO Now?".Sep 20 22:54
DaemonFCSure it's $20 a month and we only have one good show....Sep 20 22:54

DaemonFCUhhh, maybe that's why people aren't subscribing? :)Sep 20 22:55

DaemonFCThey say a product is worth what people will pay. Companies like HBO overvalue their product.Sep 20 22:56
DaemonFCProbably at least four times over.Sep 20 22:56
DaemonFCIf it was $5, everyone would just subscribe and probably forget about it and keep paying forever.Sep 20 22:57
DaemonFCSpeaking of bills, at least that horrific electric bill for air conditioning is over for a while.Sep 20 22:59
DaemonFCThe building has boiler heat, so I get to enjoy $25 electric bills for the next 8 months.Sep 20 22:59

DaemonFCI made some suggestions to file bugs in the major Linux distributions bug trackers, try installing Fedora Rawhide to see what the latest Linux does on this system, and maybe get in touch with Matthew Garrett and see if he'd take a crack at it.Sep 20 23:22
DaemonFCI ended with this:Sep 20 23:22
DaemonFCIt's time to go to some people outside of Lenovo to get this thing fixed. It's completely obvious to me (my opinion) after reading these posts that what Lenovo did was both intentional and malicious and if we stand around waiting for them to fix the problem, we'll be stuck with Windows 10 forever. Their past history with the Superfish malware and the BIOS that reinstalled their crapware bundle even in a clean Windows install from Sep 20 23:22
DaemonFCMicrosoft's ISO only bolster my belief that this was deliberate.Sep 20 23:22
DaemonFCI added:Sep 20 23:26
DaemonFCIn the meantime, we should go post this information on reviews of this computer so that people know what Lenovo did. Also comment on their Facebook posts. Let's turn up the heat on them until they release a BIOS update that fixes this.Sep 20 23:26

DaemonFCI replied: Sadly, unless there is a way to trick the computer into accepting the BIOS update without Lenovo's signature on it, or to somehow sign the blasted thing with Lenovo's signature, without hooking up an external flasher and potentially ruining a $1,400 computer, that doesn't help most people.Sep 20 23:31

DaemonFCA Microsoft Signature PC is supposed to be a special version of an OEM's regular model that comes without any crapware.Sep 21 09:24
DaemonFCAccording to an article I read, there can be over thirty crap programs included on the average retail PC, including trial versions, questionable utilities, self-promoting spam from the OEM, etc. Strangely enough, Microsoft excluded trial copies of MS Office from the requirement to not have bloatware. So I did have one program to uninstall.Sep 21 09:24
DaemonFCApparently, "Signature" is now going to mean "only runs Windows", and since all computers OEMs put in the Microsoft Store have to be "Signature", that's all of those, and maybe the OEMs will decide to lock down the non-Signature models too so they don't have to maintain two BIOSes. So eventually there may not be a safe place to buy an OEM PC.Sep 21 09:24

DaemonFCIt's actually worse. The PC has always been an "open" platform and meant for general purpose computing. Before Microsoft imposed UEFI BIOS (bugs and all), Secure Boot, and now restrictions like the one introduced into Lenovo's UEFI BIOS firmware, we sometimes had problems running Linux on a PC, but with workarounds, usually involving watching how Windows handled things, Linux eventually worked pretty well on most computers. Since UEFI Sep 21 10:12
DaemonFCreplaced the traditional BIOS, we've had a huge mess on our hands, sometimes even when the computer isn't trying to stop Linux from installing or running. This new Microsoft restriction on general purpose PCs is, I believe, the first step in making a PC more like an iPhone. First they will take away our ability to run other operating systems, then they'll eventually impose restrictions on what you can install, maybe even forcing us to use Sep 21 10:12

DaemonFCschestowitz, I wrote this to Alexander Martin. I also told him to call me late this evening.Sep 21 10:56
DaemonFCMost of the stuff that I know about the issue with these systems, I actually learned from the Lenovo Support Forum thread that is linked in the Reddit post. I tried booting up several Linux live images. The usual. Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian. I couldn’t install to anything because the SSD never came up. There’s an NVMe SSD in these laptops, which Linux supports. And I understand you should be able to see it in /dev/nvme0 or something lSep 21 10:56
DaemonFCike that, but no, nothing. And the usual commands like to check for PCI-E devices showed no SSD there. So I went to the forums and learned that Lenovo locked it to some sort of RAID mode, and then they not only patched the system firmware setup utility to hide the option to put it into AHCI mode (in fact, there’s no storage device mode settings in there at all), but they apparently wrote more code to put it back in RAID mode if you goSep 21 10:57
DaemonFCt cute and tried setting the mode to AHCI in EFI Shell. So everything that I was likely to think of to work around the issue, and probably more, was covered in the support thread. And none of it worked. Somewhere along the way, a Lenovo support person said they escalated it to the BIOS development team. That was months ago. No word on anything yet. The latest BIOS revision posted in the drivers section is version 5 from April. My PC is Sep 21 10:57
DaemonFCrunning version 8 dated June 22. No release notes from Lenovo along the way. Nothing like that. So they’ve had this computer on the market for nearly a year, revised the BIOS 8 times. We know they patched out the setting and wrote more code to force it to stay in RAID mode. If they wanted this fixed, it would be fixed. I even reached out to Matthew Garrett who suggested that maybe Linux just doesn’t support driving an AHCI deviceSep 21 10:57
DaemonFC in RAID mode. So I became exasperated and left a one star review on Best Buy, which it pained me to do. This system has some really awesome hardware in it. A Lenovo employee responded and said that the laptop is “locked” due to their “Signature Edition” agreement for Windows 10 with Microsoft.Sep 21 10:57
DaemonFCSo that got my blood boiling. Sep 21 10:57
DaemonFCSo I’ve been in this conversation on Lenovo’s forums and a guy said that he modded the BIOS and used an external flasher to get around Lenovo’s signature checks and put it in AHCI mode. The code was all still there, just hidden. He reported that Windows and Linux both run great on his machine.Sep 21 10:57
DaemonFCSo, Linux doesn’t support the RAID mode, but it does support the AHCI mode that this guy managed to unlock on his device (but the solution wouldn’t scale because of the complexity of doing all of that), so this combined with Lenovo’s response to my Best Buy review tells us that Microsoft wanted them to break Linux, and this was a way to break Linux. (Some people are confusing this with Secure Boot, which you can turn off onSep 21 10:57
DaemonFC this machine, but which is not the problem. Linux boots in Secure Boot mode or with it off. ) And it’s a way to break Linux that makes Linux look like it might be the party at fault. It’s not like it would be the first time they had the idea. There was the infamous AARD code. (Makes for a good Wikipedia read.)Sep 21 10:57
DaemonFCSo, is Microsoft telling their PC OEM partners to break Linux in ways that make people think it’s problems with Linux? It’s plausible. Especially since Lenovo told me they “locked” the computer. This is a really awful and hacky way to “lock” it, but whatever gets the job done. Right?Sep 21 10:57

Tervywas it intentional or not Sep 21 12:17
cubexyznot defending Lenovo, just pointing out they build chromebooks with corebootSep 21 12:17
Tervythats true that people should not forget good deeds to industry but is it still right to backstab for moneySep 21 12:21

XRevan86Can someone say in short what Lenovo exactly did?Sep 21 12:21

DaemonFCLinux needs "drivers". Yeah, for complex and braindead stupid setup that applies to like three Lenovo laptops... Other Ultrabook makers let you put it in AHCI mode and that's that. No special drivers needed. Not Lenovo. They removed the AHCI option and then wrote new code to keep you from setting AHCI mode from EFI shell.

DaemonFCGood day,Sep 21 18:15
DaemonFCMy name is Robert N. Adams and I write for TechRaptor.net, a gaming, technology, and tabletop site.Sep 21 18:15
DaemonFCI'm working on a news piece relating to the issue you are experiencing with the Yoga 900 and would like to ask you a few questions regarding your experience to use in the article.Sep 21 18:15
DaemonFCDo you believe that the inability to install Linux due to a BIOS setting is a deliberate choice by Lenovo or do you believe that it is a side effect of unrelated design decisions in the BIOS?Sep 21 18:15
DaemonFCWhat do you think the reasoning for these BIOs settings being in place is in the event that these BIOS settings were employed in the Yoga 900 at Microsoft's behest?Sep 21 18:15
DaemonFCDo you feel that BIOS settings of this nature ought to be disclosed more clearly prior to purchasing of a product?Sep 21 18:15
DaemonFCDo you have any further commentary on this matter?Sep 21 18:15
DaemonFCAnything you say may or may not be used as a portion of the news piece provided that I get a response from you in time. It also has to pass through editorial, and that means that your interview may be trimmed down for readability or cut entirely. The article itself may not go to press in a timely fashion or at all. It's unlikely, but it's a possibility that I want you to be aware of just in case things don't work out.Sep 21 18:15
DaemonFCI can full well understand that you may be reluctant to comment on this issue. If you would prefer not to answer any questions or state anything off the record that would be fine. I would really appreciate a "no comment" reply or similar if you would prefer not to say anything.Sep 21 18:16
DaemonFCRegardless of your response, if the article goes to press it will indicate that I have reached out to you in this fashion. (It will state something like "We have reached out to the creator of the Reddit post.") Our editors are not yet awake, so I may also have follow-up questions in addition to these should you choose to respond and if we move forward with the article.Sep 21 18:16
DaemonFCLastly, I will be reaching out to the companies involved and I'm currently engaged in researching this topic myself. I will be doing a bit more than simply copy/pasting the content of your post or anything like that.Sep 21 18:16

DaemonFCHello Robert,Sep 21 18:16
DaemonFCI'll try to answer your questions in order here.Sep 21 18:16
DaemonFCI think that it was a deliberate design choice made by Lenovo, and I say that because the BIOS code that they use has AHCI mode available for the storage device, which Linux and Windows understand without any special drivers. Lenovo patched the code to remove the AHCI mode from the BIOS setup utility and then they wrote additional code to make sure that you can't set AHCI mode with an EFI variable using EFI shell. So, I'd say it's Sep 21 18:16
schestowitzTervy: not yet, thanks, will add it into our daily links in techrightsSep 21 18:16
DaemonFCdefinitely deliberate, and can't see any LEGITIMATE reason why they would have. It isn't really faster, it makes recovering Windows from Microsoft's installer very difficult if you have to later. About the only thing putting a single SSD setup into RAID mode using the BIOS gives you is (a) Linux won't be able to use the storage and (b) greater potential for data loss. Also, given that the Lenovo employee said that they caused the issue to Sep 21 18:16
DaemonFC"lock" the system to Windows per their agreement with Microsoft....Well, why wouldn't I believe them? Lenovo's official statement to the media has been "Unfortunately, [we] cannot confirm our relationship to the person at Best Buy.", and I find that odd because it said "Lenovo" on the signature of their reply. So they're throwing their employee under the bus.Sep 21 18:16
DaemonFCI think that Microsoft and Lenovo agreed to lock Linux out, and forcing RAID mode accomplishes that. In the last 11 months, nobody except one Lenovo forum poster that used a modded BIOS and an external flasher to get around Lenovo's signature check on BIOS updates has managed to install Linux on the Yoga models affected by this. I believe that Lenovo and Microsoft figured that if Linux ever did get driver support for this configuration, Sep 21 18:16
DaemonFCthat it would be years after the product was released, so it might as well be forever. Most people replace their laptop every 5 years or less, so almost nobody would ever be able to run Linux on the Yoga laptops while in their designed service life.Sep 21 18:17
DaemonFCI think that if you're going to sell someone a general purpose computer where installing an operating system is going to be difficult or impossible, you should have to say that on the packaging or on the website description.Sep 21 18:17
DaemonFCYes, I do have a further comment.Sep 21 18:17
DaemonFCI think that Lenovo's official reply is insufficient and carefully worded. They talk about how much they love to support Linux and then say that they don't support Linux on many of their own laptops. Actions speak louder than words, and there's no technical reason other than the BIOS RAID mode lock why the Yoga 900 ISK2 and other affected systems wouldn't be great Linux machines. I also think that locking down the thread and editing peoples Sep 21 18:17
DaemonFCcomments and then blaming forum posters for being "disruptive" was uncalled for, and they're obviously trying to turn this around and make it seem like I am overreacting or somehow I'm at fault for what they did. And unfortunately, some of the media reports have taken up this narrative instead of looking into why Lenovo would do such things to their computers. There is no REAL issue with Linux not supporting these laptops other than the one Sep 21 18:17
DaemonFCLenovo created. They need to make a BIOS patch that users can install, like other Ultrabook PC makers did, not more excuses.Sep 21 18:17

schestowitzI’d say it’s definitely deliberate, and can’t see any LEGITIMATE reason why they would have. It isn’t really faster, it makes recovering Windows from Microsoft’s installer very difficult if you have to later. About the only thing putting a single SSD setup into RAID mode using the BIOS gives you is (a) Linux won’t be able to use the storage and (b) greater potential for data loss.”Sep 22 15:21
schestowitz“I think that Microsoft and Lenovo agreed to lock Linux out, and forcing RAID mode accomplishes that. In the last 11 months, nobody except one Lenovo forum poster that used a modded BIOS and an external flasher to get around Lenovo’s signature check on BIOS updates has managed to install Linux on the Yoga models affected by this. I believe that Lenovo and Microsoft figured that if Linux ever did get driver support for this configuration,Sep 22 15:21
schestowitzthat it would be years after the product was released, so it might as well be forever. Most people replace their laptop every 5 years or less, so almost nobody would ever be able to run Linux on the Yoga laptops while in their designed service life.”Sep 22 15:21

DaemonFCschestowitz, I've been writing on Lenovo's forums some more.Sep 22 20:51
DaemonFCSince Lenovo's attack on Linux also impedes setting up Windows from a Microsoft ISO if you ever need to, I worked last night on creating a slipstreamed installer that inludes their Rapid Storage driver so that Windows setup can see the SSD and install to it. I also bundled updated drivers straight from Intel.Sep 22 20:51
DaemonFC Sep 22 20:51
DaemonFCLenovo and Microsoft apparently see "Signature PCs" as a device (like a tablet or a phone with carrier locks), not a real computer, and as such, they have provided no easy way to restore the operating system in the event of a catastrophe that breaks "reset this PC" or makes the system unable to boot in the first place.Sep 22 20:51
DaemonFC Sep 22 20:51
DaemonFCUnlike an Android phone, which has a fairly decent design and a usable software store where Google can all-but-eliminate the possibility of there being malware, Windows 10 is an operating system tha steeped in decades of half-baked Windows code, horrible backwards compatibility garbage, and Microsoft hacks, and is 31 flavors of unreliable (including update installations getting stuck and unable to install and bad updates that cause boot Sep 22 20:51
DaemonFCloops and system freezing, and  it is completely riddled with bugs.Sep 22 20:51
DaemonFC Sep 22 20:51
DaemonFCThe Windows Store has so few decent applications, you can count them on your fingers. So you install most of your software the traditional way of grabbing some EXE off of the internet, and it doesn't look like that will change soon.  So you can't treat these things like a device. And I wonder how many people will end up having to ship their laptop back to Lenovo to get Windows reinstalled. Sep 22 20:51
DaemonFC Sep 22 20:51
DaemonFCOkay, so they have Windows Defender and SmartScreen. That's....something, at least. More than earlier Windows had, but we must remember that several pieces of malware have dodged all major virus scanners (including the ones people pay money for) for years, being completely undetected. Does anyone think that these people aren't testing Windows Defender? The Hacking Team leak showed internal documents including a checklist of antivirus Sep 22 20:51
DaemonFCprograms that they were successfully evading during internal tests.Sep 22 20:51

DaemonFCMinceR, I edited to add this...Sep 22 21:02
DaemonFCJust comparing storage requirements and the optimal amount of installed RAM for each OS, Windows 10 needs approximately 700% more storage space and 200% more RAM than Ubuntu. Some people like to say that Windows 10 is efficient, yet it would require even more space if Microsoft hadn't deployed file compression on much of the Windows folder.Sep 22 21:02
DaemonFCAfter the part about the BBC talking about Ubuntu.Sep 22 21:02
MinceRand even ubuntu is extremely bloatedSep 22 21:02
DaemonFCMinceR, I made another post.Sep 22 21:06
DaemonFCInstalling Linux to a flash drive to use it with the Lenovo Yoga is unacceptable.Sep 22 21:06
DaemonFC Sep 22 21:06
DaemonFCA 512 GB NVMe SSD on Amazon will still set you back by about $350, so using Linux from a flash drive on this computer means that Lenovo has reduced the value of your machine by hundreds of dollars, and USB drives operating over USB 3 are nowhere near as fast as the SSD. Sep 22 21:06
DaemonFC Sep 22 21:06
DaemonFCLenovo and Microsoft know that, which is why they disabled access to this very valuable component if you try to run Linux.Sep 22 21:06
MinceRwell, yeahSep 22 21:07

DaemonFCLenovo is a crappy company that actually wrote code enforcing the fake RAID mode by stripping the AHCI mode out of the GUI and then making sure that if you go into EFI Shell and set it yourself that it discards your setting and sets it back. First PC maker I've seen that ships computers that you can't even realistically (for the average user) reinstall Windows on. I will never buy another Lenovo computer again. I had to spend about an hour Sep 22 22:53
DaemonFCgoogling random support topics before I found a recommendation to use Universal Extractor. Then I had to find a beta version of Universal Extractor that supported the archive format in the setup program just to dig the Intel RST driver out of their godawful installer so that I can slipstream it into a Windows installer.Sep 22 22:53
DaemonFCMost people will have to pay to ship it back to Lenovo if Windows needs to be reinstalled, and be unable to use the computer for weeks, and it'll probably have some sensitive, confidential, work-related information on the SSD that someone at Lenovo could copy and steal while it's in their repair center.Sep 22 22:53
DaemonFCLenovo is a Chinese company and the Chinese steal American Intellectual Property all the time. Chinese spies even stole top secret attack helicopter engine designs complete with the software from the US government.Sep 22 22:55

DaemonFCHow do you explain that linux boots and works on surface pro?Sep 23 07:10
DaemonFCBaronHK 1 point a minute ago Sep 23 07:10
DaemonFCSince the lockout seems to be a new requirement for their partners, ask me again when Microsoft releases the Surface Pro 5. Anyway, a patch to put the hardware back in AHCI mode after the BIOS exits is possibly in the works by Matthew Garrett, so if MSFT uses this method for the lockout, it may not work. I'm sure they'll find something else.Sep 23 07:10
DaemonFCIt has to be embarrassing to them that so many people ditch the nasty bug riddled Windows 10 and blog about how great Linux is on their Surface. I'm sure that's where the Lenovo "agreement" came from. Anyway, it lets them test the waters with someone else's branding on the machine before it gets rolled out elsewhere. And since so many people believe their crap that this wasn't intentional, the next Surface probably will come locked to a Sep 23 07:10

DaemonFCschestowitz, What do you think? Think that once we solve this problem there will be another one? Sep 23 07:11
DaemonFCI suppose it will be Groundhog Day again. Everyone forgetting that we've already dealt with this before and apologizing for MSFT again.Sep 23 07:12

DaemonFC[–]Arkanta [score hidden] 6 minutes ago Sep 23 07:20
DaemonFCA small driver lockout like that is barely a lockout. Locking out the efi secure boot keys, now that's how you permanently fuck linux. Linux is absolutely no threat to MS in the consumer desktop field (you may wank yourself over this summer's >2% marketshare but MS laughs at that), and they're moving to selling services more and more, so this makes no sense.Sep 23 07:20
DaemonFCSorry for your tinfoil hat, but I'm gonna blame intel rather than MS here. I'm also gonna wait for the next surface to laugh at your paranoia even more.Sep 23 07:20
DaemonFCEdit: also, not many are leaving windows on their surfaces for linux, are barely anyone who does makes big articles about how the bugged w10 made them go away. There's nothing embrasassing.Sep 23 07:20

DaemonFCWell shucks, Linux doesn't have a driver!Sep 23 07:20
DaemonFCThen they can keep it off the machine for years. If this problem with Lenovo gets solved before the hardware is a year old, it will only be because someone in this forum on this topic had the outline of an idea, and I took it to Matthew Garrett and he managed to write a patch. They were probably planning on Linux being unusable for most of the lifetime of the product (3-4 years, perhaps more).Sep 23 07:21

DaemonFCr_schestowitz, https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/542c8t/hardware_hack_enables_linux_support_on_lenovo/Sep 23 10:17
DaemonFCUPDATE: I pinged Matthew Garrett after someone had an idea about having the Linux kernel switch the hardware out of RAID and into AHCI mode AFTER the BIOS hands it over to the kernel, and he said it might work and that he'd see about writing a patch. This would have the practical effect of running Linux in AHCI mode on the Dell XPS, only through a Linux "hardware quirk" to deal with Lenovo doing nothing to fix the BIOS. Actually, Lenovo Sep 23 10:17
DaemonFChasn't done anything through this whole ordeal but lie, lie some more, try to delete evidence, get together with Microsoft and release a joint lie, and then pressure the news media to change their stories.Sep 23 10:17
DaemonFCALSO: According to a comment on this page, some people in Germany report that the European versions of the affected Yoga laptops don't have AHCI mode hidden in the BIOS. Perhaps because the EU takes locking users out of their PCs more seriously than the US government does.Sep 23 10:17

DaemonFCSomeone asked about the idea to kick the hardware into AHCI mode using the Linux kernel on Reddit, so I replied:Sep 23 23:00
DaemonFC Sep 23 23:00
DaemonFCThe beauty of the idea to have Linux kick the machine into AHCI after GRUB starts the kernel is that it gets reset on every boot, and then goes into AHCI mode again when you select Linux.Sep 23 23:00
DaemonFC Sep 23 23:00
DaemonFCWhen you select Windows, it will be in the fake RAID mode and you still get full power management, and you won't even have to install Windows again to avoid BSoDs.Sep 23 23:00
DaemonFC Sep 23 23:00
DaemonFCAnd there's nothing Lenovo can do about it since we'd only be using their stupid BIOS to bring the machine out and then throwing out their RAID mode once Linux takes over. As long as you don't get a BIOS update that breaks something else. A BIOS update could break Linux again if Lenovo really intended it to, but I'm thinking after being embroiled in a scandal, they won't try this again. Once is a mistake, twice is a habit. You know? That's Sep 23 23:00
DaemonFCmy opinion.Sep 23 23:00
DaemonFC Sep 23 23:00
DaemonFCHopefully once we have an interim fix in place that lets us boot Linux, someone can add support for Lenovo's fake RAID mode later, remove the quirk, and we get full power management back. Until then, maybe you get 9 hours instead of 10 on a charge. I haven't tested so I don't know. I would accept the hit to get away from Windows 10, even if we never figure out a solution that lets us run in the RAID mode and support Intel's undocumented Sep 23 23:00

DaemonFCThey do use the word "Wintel" for a reason. MS and Intel tend to do things in lockstep. MS benefits from having a situation where only a Windows driver from Intel can bail you out.Sep 23 23:15
DaemonFCThey preloaded Windows on the machine and there's nothing you can do about it thanks to this configuration, so why is Microsoft hurt? They aren't. In fact, I'm sure they encouraged it. Maybe even had the idea in the first place.Sep 23 23:16

r_schestowitz"Sep 24 07:57
r_schestowitzI’m worried about the false narrative implications of this one. Apparently, this was a hybrid attack where UEFI implemented an older style hostile hardware denial of gnu/linux. The apologists are ignoring UEFI to give us the decades old excuse, “Those hobbyists just aren’t in the loop and don’t have the drivers for this one.” That false perception can mask more deliberate attacks in the future if people let their guard down.Sep 24 07:57
r_schestowitzUEFI is Microsoft’s infrastructure to nuke gnu/linux but they can’t do it all at once. They can mess with people even if they no longer run Windows, and even if Windows was never installed, because UEFI is network aware. They can identify gnu/linux users with the same infrastructure Edward Snowden showed us the NSA and Microsoft contractors used to identify “sysadmins”. The two combined give Microsoft the ability to launch denial Sep 24 07:57
r_schestowitzof service attacks that will be hard to detect. Extra vigilance is called for by anyone who’s trying to run free software on top of UEFI.Sep 24 07:57

r_schestowitzMatthew Garrett jumps to Microsoft and Intel’s defense, how sickening.Sep 24 07:58
r_schestowitzhttp://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/44694.htmlSep 24 07:58
r_schestowitzMicrosoft and Intel made this awful UEFI for the sole purpose of controlling what gets booted. Even Garrett admits the implementation does little or nothing for actual security. The implementation did make booting GNU/Linux much harder and make doing so almost pointless. UEFI is a complete, non free OS that can betray the user no matter what software the user “chooses” from the list of allowed operating systems. Microsoft can withdraw Sep 24 07:58
r_schestowitztheir key at anytime, for any reason which will nuke your ability to boot gnu/linux. For people that value their freedom, that might be better than running on top of UEFI.Sep 24 07:58
r_schestowitzGiven that reality, it beggars imagination that Garrett would say, “Neither interpretation [of Lenovo’s Microsoft Lock Down Agreement] indicates that there’s a deliberate attempt to prevent users from installing their choice of operating system.” He reaches this conclusion by saying the equipment won’t run without good power management, that not many people want to run GNU/Linux anyway, and that, “there are several free Sep 24 07:58
r_schestowitzoperating systems that support UEFI Secure Boot and have appropriate signatures.” Wow, just wow. He’ll probably use the same logic when all hardware is like this shit because nothing reasonable has been made in seven years. Because, Microsoft made installing free software extremely difficult and mostly pointless on such hardware, he can conclude they never intended to block free software. All evidence of success at blocking free Sep 24 07:58
r_schestowitzsoftware is turned into Microsoft and Intel defense.Sep 24 07:58

DaemonFCI wouldn't care why as long as it worked and made it into the upstream kernel somehow.Sep 24 08:15
DaemonFCI think the only reason he wrote that patch for the G33M-S Foxconn board was to show that he could do it with two lines of code and then say "See, look. Happens all the time. No sabotage here!".Sep 24 08:16
DaemonFCThe problem only took two lines of code to fix once it was known what the problem was, but it was copying undocumented Windows behavior that fixed it.Sep 24 08:17
