To folks in NZ - if you want a *superb* Linux laptop, I can recommend getting one of these! (current sale price is $550!): https://www.pbtech.co.nz/product/EXNBKLEN001010D/Lenovo-CARBON-X1-UltraBook-B-Grade-OFF-LEASE-Intel
@DrCuriosity @lightweight how? it seems to have CPU bugs and firmware
@kreyren that's possible. I'm not sure it's possible to avoid those these days. Bring on RISC-V that we can fab ourselves. @DrCuriosity
@lightweight @DrCuriosity or just things like Rockchip like a sane person
@kreyren heh heh. Rockchip? Tell me more! @DrCuriosity
@lightweight @DrCuriosity https://github.com/rockchip-linux
tldr ARM fork stripped off of proprietary garbage and spyware
e.g. pine64 sells them, but i hate pine64
@kreyren I'd never run the Windows on it. Wipe with a Linux distro on first boot.
@kreyren @lightweight
They're fine as long as you don't run Windows on them.
