@bkuhn Have you considered slightly newer old librebooted ThinkPads?

For X220/T420/X230/T430/W530/T440p/W541, the only additional blob required compared to T500/X200 is ME firmware (which can be reduced and disabled with the HAP bit, but not completely removed). All software running on the main CPU is free (excluding microcode, which is in the same situation as T500/X200), and a quad-core Ivy Bridge or Haswell ThinkPad would probably outperform a RK3588 MNT Reform. The ones with 4 RAM slots (W530 and W541) can have up to 32GB RAM, the others are limited to 16GB. The larger (14 or 15-inch) ones can have 3 SSDs (one in the main SATA bay, one in the ultrabay, one in the WWAN slot). X230 can take an X220 keyboard (and I think similar mods are possible on T430 and W530).

T480/T480s are also supported and can have up to 64GB RAM (36 or 40GB for T480s because one module is soldered) but they require more blobs for now (FSP) although they have the potential to be more free when that is reverse engineered because arbitrary code execution on the ME and loading unsigned microcode is possible. They can both take a 2280 NVMe SSD (T480 has a 2.5-inch SATA bay too which is mutually exclusive), as well as a 2242 B+M-key NVMe SSD in the WWAN slot.

@nachtpfoetchen match does destructuring, which is useful sometimes. Other than that it's just shorter and nicer to read.

@ada This anti-feature should really just not exist in web browsers. What legitimate use is there for disabling text selection?

@linus @jessew Only 50%? I'd be surprised if this ever worked

Are you having arrestable thoughts..?

Whomever made this did a convincing job.

@mitsunee @alexia @carbonatedcaffeine Maybe a postmarketOS device that can run mainline Linux? Something with SDM845 is probably the best choice currently (or a PinePhone, but the hardware sucks).

@evan no, they do provide an email service but you have to pay for it separately and I don't

hours of fun for the whole polycule

@mitsunee @alexia @carbonatedcaffeine It's much easier to do that with PCs than with phones, since they're more repairable, don't require a battery, will run upstream kernels and so can be kept up to date without support from the vendor, and are generally more powerful than phones. I still regularly use a laptop from 2008 and it's perfectly usable, but a phone from that period would be almost unusable (especially without a new battery) and might not even be able to connect to the mobile network in some countries.

@alexia @sneexy if it's 64-bit it'll be armv8, armv7 and earlier were 32-bit-only

@maggiejk @cormoranthine @pendell why is that even legal?

@developing_agent @libreleah Yes. It worked fine.

Friends and enemies, I would like to show you the best blue screen of death I've ever seen. I pulled over with two hyperactive dogs in the car just to take the picture.
