I found this ARM laptop, and it comes with this disclaimer. Most honest thing I've ever seen a company say tbh

@007 they advertise it as "open" and release datasheets and stuff. Not what I'd call "open" but it's pretty much as good as it gets for now

@007 @ddipaola sure it's a little less fully-featured than other notebooks, but it's open source!

@jordyd @ddipaola it features an externally-attached word processor! completely waterproof and wipe-clean!

@ddipaola @007 I mean it hasn't been updated in a while and kind of obsolete now with RISC-V, but still it's neat

@jordyd @007 picorv32 a RISC-V, which can be synthed for the open toolchain-ed ICE40 FPGA? github.com/cliffordwolf/picorv

@jordyd I guess parts are formally verified which attracted CERN to use it in the LHC

@jordyd @007 yeah. good stuff. speaking of expired patents, have you heard of the J core? j-core.org/ it's a legal clone of the SH2
