Honest question, albeit slightly off topic: If you could buy a very expensive laptop with an open source CPU, would you be interested?

MNT's FPGA-based CPU caught my attention a while back, and I don't have any income, so $1600-2600 for just the CPU is steep for my blood, but I'm curious to get your take.

Absofuckinglutely. But ro be real, daily driving would come down to reasonable performance vs pain in the ass compatability/performance issues. Checking it out now 🤙🔥

btw: It is a lot harder to verify open hardware for integrity than software

Depends on your expertise ;)

of course you're right, but not everyone can x-ray chips and etch away layers at home 😁

maybe I'm a bit over the top here too.

Oooh yeah 🤤🤤🤤🤤
