asciilifeform: likewise you can't buy a southbridge that dun do the acpi liquishit, cuz again microshit decree.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-06#1832296 << curious what this was about. ... open ssh pipes ? i've yet to see this wonder. dollars to doughnuts it's a shituntu etc box with acpi sleep . ☝︎

asciilifeform: re acpi as instrument of microshitization, observe how ( e.g. https://lwn.net/Articles/574439 ) it is being put in arm boxes, where 0 intel legacycrapola, and spearheaded by... redhat ( the designated microshit for 'linux' )

"oh, if your fans don't kick in you want termald, or try batterd, which works with new lzmi acpi functions."

mp_en_viaje: and acpi is strictly "make sure nobody can EVER init the iron and get lost EVER, even if they try to"

mp_en_viaje: and at every single fucking twist and turn, too. instead of limiting "firmware" to data, to be executed by bios or gtfo, instead let's "virtual machines" and acpi.

mp_en_viaje: dmesg has some acpi entries, BUT NO VIDEO ANYTHING. fucking lspic has nothing related to vga!!! at.all.

mp_en_viaje: xgamma does nothing. /sys/class/backlight doesn't exist. ye olde grub trick (GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_backlight=vendor") does nothing.

trinque: mircea_popescu: aha, and in my head there was this ACPI table you could ask the BIOS for or w/e

asciilifeform: (btw when you throw acpi crapolade out of linuxbios, the binary shrinks 2x)

asciilifeform: it -- notably -- worx on all x86 boxen, unlike the acpi 'soft reset' crapola which -- not so much

asciilifeform: e.g., i still have not forgiven, and do not intend to forgive, the acpi 'soft' power supply switch. ☟︎

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the hardware is very literally shit. e.g., ever heard of acpi ?

asciilifeform: and horrors of the cthonian deep, such as real mode bios callouts (as in x11), or acpi crapolade.

asciilifeform: lulzily, i recently tried 'trisquel linux' distro on a thinkpad x60, as mentioned, e.g., here, https://libreboot.org/docs/gnulinux/grub_boot_installer.html - it croaks on boot during acpi init.

asciilifeform: and also they concern acpi, which can be safely ditched if running a sane os

ascii_field: 'In addition to the ACPI feature, remote wake-up (including AMD Magic Packet and Microsoft Wake-up frame) is supported in both ACPI and APM (Advanced Power Management) environments. To support WOL from a deep power down state (e.g., D3cold, i.e., main power is off and only auxiliary exists), the auxiliary power source must be able to provide the needed power... ...The RTL8111E supports Protocol offload.
