★ 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.

I remember reading a nice detective story about a motherboard that had barely detectable hardware backdoors in it.  It was supposed to be an exact copy of European-made prototypes, and it was, except for a fucking pile of extra code that snooped on users.  It would go unnoticed if there wasn't a bug somewhere at that code that revealed the whole scheme to a researcher.  AFAIR the snooping code was the real dom0 (or how this thing is called), and it set up a fake dom0 that looked exactly like the real one so that it could snoop merrily without worrying about white devils ever finding extra resident code in their OS.

Does anyone remember what that was?
