★ Quad-core MIPS64 FOSS laptop ★

If I had a YeeLong-8133 I would cuddle with it every night before going to sleep.
If I had a YeeLong-8133 I would code in MIPS64 assembly every day.
If I had a YeeLong-8133 I would print out x86 assembly listings on toilet paper and wipe my anus with them.

We're all waiting, Lemote.  I'm not buying any other laptop; I demand a free open-source non-treacherous BIOS.

Please don't confuse hardware and software. We need access to the software and the rights to share it with our friends. It is senseless to modify hardware because it is completely impractical to change it once it exists.

The issue is about the rights of the machine owners. A machine should obey its owner, if not, it is designed to obey other interests. This cannot happen when software is not free.

We can own our own hardware if we had the right to tinker with software. Hardware is impractical to modify. Software is practical to change. Users who cannot modify their software is a matter of policy of the vendors to restrict the users. There is no other reason why users should be restricted access to the software.
