No need to buy DVR if it has no Free Ubuntu Linux Drivers -
No need to buy DVR if it has no Ubuntu Linux driver - Digital Voice
Recorders that do NOT work on your latest Ubuntu Laptop :
As an Indian user of high technology products to interface with my top
quality and latest Ubuntu Linux PC Desktop or Laptop Computer from
high technology companies - I have started REJECTING those peripherals
and those companies which have not bothered to release free and open
source Linux drivers for their devices. As with the best printers and
high performance graphic cards, it is always best to do some research
on whether a foreign company well known for manufacturing and
distributing semiconductor and electronics gadgets that should work on
USB port. Do check if they SUPPORT Ubuntu Linux or NOT before spending
even one khota rupee on it.
Many white goods companies are going ballistic in advertising that
they sell a ( High Quality ? ) product to Indian users and in Indian
markets EVERY three SECONDS. But do these companies sell products that
play well with your Ubuntu Laptop ?
Make sure before you buy. Let them WAIT for THREE HOURS before they
sell a product to Indian consumers.
Olympus is one of those companies making small and tiny Digital Voice
Recorders - (good for sting operations on Indian politicians who excel
in buying Votes for Notes for Civil Nuclear Treaty and solving the
power and energy crisis of Indians - hamara nara, ghar ghar mein bijli
pahuchana …. )
Unfortunately Olympus has not bothered to release free and open source
software drivers for their Digital Voice Recorders. As far as I am
concerned Olympus Digital Voice Recorder is USELESS till it makes
available free and easily downloadable software drivers to work with
my UBUNTU Laptop running on BSNL Broadband Internet.
No point buying rubbish electronic junk and e-waste which DOES NOT
work with Ubuntu Linux computers in India. And this will be public
service of voluntary nature as Indian Ministry of Communication and
Information Technology has hardly any guidelines for disposing
electronic and computer junk and how to penalise those foreign
companies which sell outdated technologies in India - Litter packaged
up as Glitter . So before investing any rupees in more electronic junk
and devices, ALWAYS check if it WORKS well with Ubuntu Linux.
