@mntmn, you may want to go check out this new Slashdot thread and put out a blurb for the new reform. You might reach a large audience.
@mntmn Can't wait to see it fully assembled!

"Yet Another #Librem5 and #PinePhone Comparison" is an in-depth technical comparison of the two devices by #postmarketOS developer @martijnbraam

we will hand-assemble (incl PCBA) a very small number of MNT Reform 2 beta laptops with full aluminum body in January 2020 outside of the campaign. Price 1500 EUR. If you're interested: lukas@mntre.com
@mntmn I've been thinking about this for a bit. Is this a new custom Commodore 64 cartridge?
@mntmn Very interesting... I do hope that they plan to develop open source drivers for that new GPU (and mainline them), otherwise that new SOC won't really be an improvement over the i.MX.8 IMHO.
@mntmn That looks beautiful! You must feel proud.

@thibaultamartin @KekunPlazas *postmarketOS, only the OS bit is capitalized 😉
We do indeed support Phosh as well, although personally I do indeed prefer Plasma Mobile. But let's not go into my opinions of that whole affair here, it isn't relevant. The point is that the Librem 5 effort shouldn't be insulted, as it's still advancing Linux on Mobile, no matter what you think of it.

@KekunPlazas @purism @matrix Oh, but I can do that too!
Yesterday I received my #PinePhone from @PINE64! Today I had fun with it and postmarketOS, here are some photos:
- the default applications
- the Fractal @matrix client
It's a glorious time for Linux on mobile!

@mntmn Are you planning to take any more thermal images of the board with this new heatsink installed? Also, is this heatsink designed to transfer heat to the back of the chasis, and if so how is that being accomplished (e.g., is it just in direct contact with the chasis once installed, or is there a screw hole there for a direct connection between chasis and heatsink)?
@mntmn What is the ETA on those aluminum milled cases? I'm super excited about seeing how they turned out.

It was an exciting week for the #Pursim team, shipping Librem 5s from the Birch batch to backers https://puri.sm/posts/librem-5-birch-shipping-announcement/ and reading your early impressions.
Your support and energy keeps us going!
Thank you for believing in the Librem 5 and our mission https://puri.sm/about/ #privacy #security #Librem5 #Linux
@MirceaKitsune @jemek @purism There is no older model. The librem 5 is their first phone. The 5 in the name indicates the size of the screen on the device. When they release new versions of products they bump a version number instead (e.g., "Librem 15 v4" = "Librem 15 version 4"). So the absence of a version number means that this is the first version of the product.

I love this post:
"When we first approached hardware manufacturers almost two years ago with this project most of them instantly said “No, sorry, impossible, we can not help you.”. Others warned us, that it could never work, that it was too complicated, “the industry does not do that” and so forth.
And yet here we are, later than we wanted, but we are actually shipping first hardware! It is possible but it comes at a price." #Librem5
