I see, so I’m assuming the same goes for regular actors? And musicians? And basically any performer ofcourse? Oh and also anyone who does manual labour because you are literally renting out your body for that. Well, and technically anyone with an office job too because they are still renting out their time.

To answer that question it might be useful to ask a different question: “If people depend on money to survive and if that money is made through manual labour. Does this imply that manual labour is slavery through coercion?”

Does commercial mean closed source in this context though? It seems like a waste of resources not to provide the source code for an rtos.

Considering how small in size they tend to be + with their power/computational constraints I can’t imagine they have very effective DRM in place so it shouldn’t take that much to reverse engineer.

May as well just provide the source under some very restrictive license.

Don’t you have the code in most cases? Like with e.g. freeRTOS? That’s fully open source

Isn’t that still the same exact process as a normal compiler except in the case of embedded systems your OS is like a couple kilobytes large and just compiled along with the rest of your code?

As in, are those “crazy optimizations” not just standard compiler techniques, except applied to the entire OS+applications?

Fun fact: lots of those sd cards are actually fake. Have you tried actually putting 128gb of data on it?

It’s pretty easy for them to put a scummy firmware on it that reports having a significantly larger size than they actually have.

What study is that? Can you give a reference?
