There's hardware we don't know how to write free software for, because they won't tell us how to use the hardware. That's shocking. They want to sell you the product and they won't tell you how to use it. They say "Here's a non-free [proprietary] program you can use. Run it and shut up."

Some time ago this was only about the peripetials and drivers, now this is about all phones, tablets and smart things...
