Comment on Arm Acquires Minority Stake in Raspberry Pi

Hilarious. Money corrupts all. Next up, an organization that wants to take the original Raspberry Pi’s goal and extend that open model to all parts of a computer system including the hardware. IMO, whoever wants to spend the up-front money to take over that role is going to get very, very rich.

Pine64 is basically this.

I would throw money at Pine64 if I could, sadly right now I actually only need a new soldering iron so opted for their Pinecil.
I love that they take literally anything and make an open source variant: phone, ARM laptop, SBC, smart soldering iron, smart watch, IP camera, and even earbuds!
Kind of wish they could do a collab with Fairphone at some point… FP handle the fairtrade hardware sourcing and manufacture, and P64 handle the OSS firmware

I’ve got a Pinebook Pro and Pinetab 2 and both are great.
