I'd like to take a moment to give a shout out to @purism for all their great work. β€οΈ you guys.
#Librem5 backers in the Birch batch have started sharing unboxing photos https://azdle.net/2019/11/librem-5-unboxing/ (attached CC-BY 2.0) videos https://peertube.co.uk/videos/watch/55eece8c-2d6c-4da3-8c8c-895217d66e2a and positive early impressions https://www.reddit.com/r/Purism/comments/e2mqgb/i_have_my_librem_5_ama/ thank you to all our supporters for your patience and excitement π
I love this post:
"When we first approached hardware manufacturers almost two years ago with this project most of them instantly said βNo, sorry, impossible, we can not help you.β. Others warned us, that it could never work, that it was too complicated, βthe industry does not do thatβ 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
We are delighted to share that early yesterday we shipped the first #Librem5 Birch devices to backers https://puri.sm/posts/librem-5-birch-shipping-announcement/
