yesterday i brought up the first production MNT Pocket Reform motherboard (no problems so far) and the team started assembling the first devices :3 i'm a bit behind on the software and docs side but crunching as fast as i can
@mntmn Don't crunch too much though! I think MNT customers are the kind of people who would be okay waiting a bit longer if extra rest for you and the team is required.
@thomholwerda@mntmn I have, very deep, an odd desire to code bare-metal on modern hardware, the same way I do on ancient devices. Now, being honest, I don't have time for that, not anywhere close. But, at the same time, if I decided to do it, I'd do it for some MNT hardware.
@mntmn@jbqueru Regardless, the Reform (and I'm assuming the Pocket, although I haven't used it, of course) is a great machine. It's explicitly designed for people who have the kind of knowledge and expertise you do, JBQ!
@thomholwerda@mntmn Yup, I agree. Regardless of my low-level programming desires, if I wanted an ARM Linux laptop, I know I'd be hitting a Reform (w/ 32GB 3588)...
@thomholwerda@mntmn as long as it gets here in time to setup for #DEFCON, I really don't care. Even if I would love to have it in my hands right now.
I liked my Pinebook Pro, but it felt... lacking in the specs department. Where as the Pocket Reform it's upgradeable and already eyeing the RK3588 upgrade after I get my initial unit and benchmark it for my own needs.
