I have one for work; I was excited to receive it, I’ve never been more disappointed with a laptop bearing the ThinkPad brand. Lots of intermittent issues with graphics, BT audio, and performance.

I'm more interested in the Comet - https://mecha.so/comet - as a thing to support in pre-order. They will be launching their Kickstarter soon, and the founder is very active and transparent on their Discord.

30+ years ago I did a week’s “work experience” at the UK offices of Cray Research in Bracknell (and, shockingly, nobody had ever approached them before to do this). I spent a couple of days with the software support team and was given an

I was a research subject for a TMS study a few years ago (I made myself eligible by way of a bicycle accident). Having your thumb twitch because the researcher “shot” magnetic fields at my brain was an amusing experience; she said some peop

I’ve pasted the specs below, but in my opinion the biggest difference is that the OpenFPGA - in its Analogue Pocket form - is an end-user friendly target. MiSTer is more “enthusiast-friendly” with more options and upgrades (including an rec
