This A311D module adds WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0, and bumps the CPU performance a lot, going from 4x ARM Cortex-A53 cores on the old module, to 2x A53 and 4x A73! Roughly doubled the performance of my computer, and now I also get to use bluetooth headphones 😎🎶
Company: we sell open-source hardware!
Also company: we only provide schematics
...ok, so by that logic, I suppose my IBM PC from 1983 is also open-source hardware
@jacqueline @bnys I can contribute up to $4 and one chicken for the cause.
Some of our users work only with audio material like podcast episodes, so it makes sense that they should be able to negotiate percentages rather than semitones when they use vari-speed :) Here is a quick fix from @PaulDavisTheFirst coming in the next release

Purism's data service uses a T-Mobile backhaul network, and Efani reportedly supports AT&T as well (I have not tested this).

@BrodieOnLinux Wayland via Debian Live. I wrote a suite of customization scripts to enable optional persistence and various quality-of-life extras on my desktops/servers. I've daily-driven this method for over 2 years and don't worry about OS upgrades/migrations or what x86-64 hardware I'm using:
@jc I would love to be able to review and use all of these and promote them to my audience because we should all be using more #Opensource
Want to use #FOSS tools to audit/improve the hardware? Got you covered:

It shares SOMs with the Reform, it's bigger brother. What's the #FPGA #SOM in the right-most table column? You can use it to run #RISCV soft-cores on the laptop.
There's also a #rackmount model of the #MNTReform in the works!

I just had to update my numbers for a lecture, so here's your periodic reminder: Starlink is now 55% of ALL active satellites in orbit.
And given the recent news about that awful billionaire unilaterally deciding to cut of internet access to parts of the world whenever he decides to, this is extra important to share. Why did our governments effectively gift Low Earth Orbit to one awful dude? This is so bad.
You need to stop using Chrome NOW. It’s not hyperbole: Google just rolled out a change to Chrome that tracks the sites you visit, builds a profile, and shares that with any page you visit that asks.
