absolutely incredible detailed data collection and visualization of the (potential) runtimes of 4 different MNT Reform processor modules, by @npub1mzhx...dh9t

MNT Research Community

Comparing battery runtime of RK3588, A311D, i.MX8MQ, i.MX8M+ and LS1028A

This post is for those who wonder how the different SoMs supported by MNT compare against each other in term of how much power they draw. This is n...

BTW if you're looking for an open hardware, repairable laptop made by a small team in berlin with no venture capital, maybe MNT Reform Next could be interesting for you:

MNT Reform Next

A new 12.5" open hardware laptop that is future-proof, modular, and highly performant

i appreciate how framework are doing a bit of involuntary marketing for us today 🤝

it's real: first MNT Quasar processor module prototype, assembled today by @npub12gl2...frt9! this will allow the usage of qualcomm qcs6490 and hopefully two other pin compatibles in current and future MNT open hardware laptops/computers.

OK now that could be a very fitting printer for your MNT Reform series computer :D

Open Printer

Finally, an open hardware printer you can actually understand, repair, and upgrade

only nit: license is CC BY-NC-SA (non commercial), so not open hardware in the sense that someone else could build on top of this work + sell it

does someone here know an unusual amount about USB3 superspeed (5gpbs), maybe even DWC3, whose brain i could pick for a bit? i'm trying to establish a way to pinpoint on which technical layer some issues happen. i.e. SI/analog, PHY, SoC bus/QoS, xhci driver quirks...

this feels astonishingly well done for a browser game (and it works fine in firefox on my rk3588 mnt stuff)

"warp" (or "wormhole-rs") on linux/gnome + "wormhole" on android = quick file/photo transfer bliss

anyone has time for and would be up for hacking the pocket reform panel data into this (to get EDK2 going for pocket reform rk3588)?

this might be damaging to my character image, but i have to admit that i did watch the meta demo fail video and it was schadenfreude and fascination that i felt
