Re: [coreboot] What do each of the letters B...? , L...? , O...? , B...? represent in the acronym BLOB ?

      I'm surprised anyone answered - you would think someone at a gnu address
would already know what a BLOB is, and is therefore being rhetorical. :P

 Dear coreboot folks,
 I am looking for a new portable device available in Europe.
 Is it true, that the Acer Chromebook R 13 [1], is the only
     current BLOB
  free device? The device currently costs 400 €. Is
MediaTek “a good
 citizen”, that means, do they provide datasheets and work on
     drivers?
  The Samsung Chromebook Plus/Pro with RK3399 [2]
are only
     available in
  the USA, right?
 Thanks,
 Paul

      I'm surprised you (John Lewis) answered as what you you have answered. Did
you ever hear about: management (styles)?

You would think someone at an INTEL address would already know what a ME is
(you'll be surprised, by old timers in there not having idea NOT only about
ME, rather about many INTEL invented things), and is therefore being
rhetorical. :P

I guess, INTEL is just an random example I have picked. ;-)
