To the contrary. There are zero binary blobs and that's exactly why you only get n, as all available ac wifi components would need a blob. Don't confuse blobs with firmware.
The absence of allows you to install any OS, even 100% libre ones.

I'm pretty sure they pay at least $200 for production. It's a small run, not hundreds of thousands to be made.
Of those ~10,000 devices, take $200 for hardware development and $200 for the software development and there you are at $600.
Those who support it invest in freedom instead of Apple's shareholders ;)

The reality is that RISC not only won the war with CISC, but has done so so rigorously and thoroughly that contemporary CISCs cannot even *exist* without it. No CISC architecture in production today wider than 8 bits directly executes CISC instructions. Not System/Z, not Pentium, and even Motorola's 68060 resorted to CISC-to-RISC conversion techniques.
The high-throughput data buses that drive the author's argument wouldn't be possible without RISC pushing the edge.

Haha! Endlich haben wir ein ordentliches Argument gegen WhatsApp:
»Facebook announced earlier this year preliminary results from its efforts to move a global mass surveillance infrastructure directly onto users’ devices where it can bypass the protections of end-to-end encryption.«

And if you're interested in pre-ordering the Librem 5, it is on sale two more days.

Yes, totally free. I use KDE Plasma on PureOS, one of the few distros with the blessing of Stallman / FSF.
See https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html
And soon I'll have that same OS on my Librem 5 phone. I'm really curious if this will be the first smartphone Stallman will use 😎
Just discovered that #Librem5 issue on porting #GNOME Contacts app was officially closed three days ago. \o/
