Raspberry Pi receives strategic investment from Arm
> Please correct me if I'm wrong.
My memory told me it was the GPU that needed the blobs. So I asked at DDG
https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ftsa&q=binary+blobs+and+the+Raspbe...
Turned up this: https://wiki.debian.org/RaspberryPi and it says...
> All Raspberry Pi models before the 4 (1A, 1B, 1A+, 1B+, Zero, Zero W, 2, 3, Zero 2 W) boot from their GPU (not from the CPU!), so they require a non-free binary blob to boot
So the 4 (and I suppose the 5, if it ever actually comes...)
Goes on to say:
> Since then, Broadcom publicly released some code, licensed as 3-Clause BSD, to aid the making of an open source GPU driver. The "rpi-open-firmware" effort to replace the VPU firmware blob started in 2016. See more at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11703842 . Unfortunately development of rpi-open-firmware is currently (2021-06) stalled.
So there you are. Not wrong, are you, but not strictly correct, depending on "...to run properly" definition

How is the free firmware for the Raspberry progressing?
many of those demos work on the the entire pi model range
pi3 support is only broken due to arm side problems, which could be fixed by just using a different bootloader
and the https://github.com/librerpi/rpi-open-firmware codebase can already boot linux headlessly on both pi2 and pi3, it uses a different arm bootloader

Arduino Pro hardware is not open-source hardware

rpi-open-firmware: open-source VPU side bootloader for Raspberry Pi
There is work being done on the RPi4, for example the SHA1 HMAC protecting the boot on the RPi4 had to be cracked (and was easily), I hear future versions have RSA signing support, so the proprietary firmware might become mandatory at some point.

There is a project to create an open source version of the proprietary GPU firmware that boots into the ARM processor:

Taking a Stand in the War on General-Purpose Computing
I note that even the Raspberry Pi is moving towards locked down devices, the RPi4 has an (easily cracked) HMAC blocking booting into the open source firmware and I hear more recent hardware editions have RSA signing support in the bootrom code.

Bountysource Stole at Least $17,000 from Open Source Developers
There's fraud and embezzlement in non-profits all the time. Just entering that in a search engine shows tons of examples: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=fraud+and+embezzlement+in+n...
When I was involved in scouts this was a thing as well; not even always due to malice, sometimes also due to incompetence and/or inattention.

Microsoft killed my favorite keyboard
that one is good, but I detest keyboards with their own magic little dongle since it's a damn fine thing to misplace
I'm surprised OP didn't enjoy https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/d/surface-ergonomic-keyboard... which is currently listed as out of stock but I dunno if that means "permanently" or what, but they seem to be available via 3rd party channels
Its "klacking" aside, pour one out for https://duckduckgo.com/?q=microsoft+natural+elite+keyboard&t... which I loved, although I'll be straight that I love the Surface Ergonomic better because I think its keytravel is much, much nicer and no weirdo + shaped cursor keys, the inverted T like $diety intended

Ask HN: Where are all the touch-based art forms?
Sculpture can be tactile. I know it's not purely tactile, but thinking of it in that way is becoming a lot more common (eg at the Louvre). And then I went to find a URL for the tactile dome at the Exploratorium in San Francisco (https://www.exploratorium.edu/visit/tactile-dome) and it turns out there are lots of tactile galleries now:
