???? ???? 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.      ♥  ♥

haven't you gotten the news? the graphics chip requires a binary blob

So?
You can still buy one, will probably be faster than a fucking mips machine anyway

This really doesn't make sense to me. Why can't graphics chips just present some sort of standardized OpenGL/OpenCL interface?

I don't understand why no one has made one of these just to profit off of the GNU zombies like OP.

if asking for 174$ for a fucking ARM board isn't "profiting off", then I don't know what is.

It doesn't do that. However, you can port the Mesa library to it and it would be a software implementation of OpenGL.

haha oh wow, it doesn't even do LVDS

PandaBoard is pretty expensive, and isn't practical for driving a laptop (no LVDS output). Any other boards?

massive binary blob that must run before everything else? no thanks. NEXT!

Are... are you talking about the BIOS?

Is the binary blob part of ROM or is it stored in a read-write memory storage? If it's part of ROM, then there's no point in bitching about having no source because the binary is effectively equivalent to hardware.

Why don't more people concerned about binary blobs get busy and reverse engineer the blobs?

>>27
In that case, the architecture is undocumented.

Stop being a lazy piece of shit, point a microscope at the transistors, and document it.

why don't you just buy one of those chalkboard electronics LCD interface boards for 35$ you humongous faggot?

don't all OMAP3 and 4 processors have native uboot and kernel support in debian? can't you just find a netbook or tablet with one of those and shut the fuck up?
