Those boards have a lot more on the board than just the cpu. At a minimum they have power conditioning and ram, usually also storage. A lot of what you pay for with an sbc is that routing and layout. If it’s got WiFi as well, you could be paying for the testing that goes into rf micro strips and potentially certifications on em emissions.

It is, of course possible to do all that yourself, but the system on module exists, because this integration has value that people are willing to pay for.

This affects 100% of linux boxes with an hdmi port, so valve is making a tiny fraction of the impacted hardware.

If you take the effort to anonymise your contributions, can they afford to try to find you?

Do you mean Red Hat identifies itself using the phrase "Red Hat, an IBM Company"? Because I don't see any use of this on redhat.com (including that website's corporate "about" content) and if any Red Hatters are using this phrasing (I'm a current Red Hat employee) I haven't been aware of it.

It's odd to always say "Hashicorp, an IBM company". Looks like they want to assign blame.

I did try Pulumi a while back, but the compatibility with Terraform modules was not great, so I've switched to CDKTF, which can handle unmodified modules. Dunno if I'll switch back to Pulumi or just use OpenTofu directly.

Where are the modern tape decks for cars? Or something equivalent where the medium is robust enough to throw in the passenger footwell, and big enough to be safely grabbable and changeable while driving?

> I will add that most places, forums, sites don’t deliver the hash OOB. Unless you mean like GPG but that would have came from same site. For example if you download a Packer plugin from GitHub, files and hash all comes from same site.

This thread started by talking about the site serving the download (and hash) over http. Github serves their content over https, so you're not going to be MITM'ed. There are other attack vectors, but if the delivery of the content you're downloading is compromised/MITM'ed, you've lost.

Aren't virtually all SBCs made in China?
