I think the point is that you’re not going to get any killer ideas from this. More power if they do, but the people working in the “make a better computer” space have been doing so deliberately for years, spending much more than $500 in the process. Maybe you get a better computer by sprinkling $500 checks around to random devs in the developing world, but it’s not likely to work as a legitimate strategy to improve computing. If you really want to do that, take this entire fund and invest it in one of the many future of computing projects out there already well under way.
