If more people were willing to take the step to arm and sacrifice the performance, this could move forward faster.
And there's a strong security reason to do so. I am motivated to buy an Arm machine which will be soley responsible for my:
+ Email
+ Banking
+ Cryptocurrency
Because none of those take too much power, and they are all very security sensitive.
- abecedarius 10y agoIs there a favorite one I can buy now? Or a least unfavored?
- milcron 10y agoFor now I think the best completely-open device is Bunnie Huang's Novena laptop: https://www.crowdsupply.com/sutajio-kosagi/novena https://www.crowdsupply.com/sutajio-kosagi/novena The software and motherboard schematics are totally open. It includes an mPCIe wifi card (Ath9k) specifically to avoid binary blob firmware.
- abecedarius 10y agoThanks -- I'd heard of that but didn't realize it was still/again for sale.
- timonovici 10y agoAsus Chromebook C100 Flip, but with a wifi dongle - if you want something new. If something refurbished is okay, go for a X200; they are pretty good machines. Here's the best part - a Chromebook, without the proprietary Mali drivers, it slow as a piece of shit; an X200 - I can watch a tear-free full-HD movie while compiling something in the background, with both cores at 100%. Libiquity, Tehnoetic and Vikings still sell those laptops. Or flash one yourself, it's not that hard, and you need like.. 100$ worth of equipment.
