Either because their communication is sometimes lacking, or they don't want to point competition to it, or they think it's not important that it'll be the same Redpine chip as on the devkit. Or any combination of the above 😉

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.

Die meisten unserer Nachbarn sind jetzt im Urlaub. Die Schrödingers fragten uns gestern vor der Abreise noch, ob wir auf ihre Katze aufpassen könnten. „Aber ohne Garantie“, sagte ich. „Wir haben nämlich schon den Hund von den Pawlows.“ War dem Schrödinger aber egal.

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 ;)

@majicjay @purism it seems there are only ac modules that require blobs.

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.«

Similar topic.
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 gnu.org/distros/free-distros.h
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 😎

Ah ok, I thought you were saying it you're having lots of crashes with it. Maybe I misunderstood.
