Noted without comment: https://www.fsf.org/blogs/licensing/support-the-talos-ii-a-candidate-for-respects-your-freedom-certification-by-pre-ordering-by-september-15 We've previously supported [link] the work of the folks at Raptor Engineering. This time, rather than a crowdfunding effort, we are asking you to support their work by pre-ordering the Talos II. [link] [...] For the future of free computing, we need to build and support systems that do not come with such malware [RM: Intel Management Engine, propriatary boot firmware, and the like] pre-installed, and the Power9-based Talos II promises to be a great example of just such a system. Devices like this are the future of computing that Respects Your Freedom. That is Raptor Engineering's ultimate goal as well, to create a machine that can pass RYF certification. They've already been working with us on the details, and things are looking good. We'll have to do another evaluation once it is actually produced to be sure it meets our certification standards, but we have high hopes. Author Donald Robertson, writing on behalf of FSF, goes on to ask computer users supporting software freedom to place pre-orders for the Raptor Engineering Talos II by Sept. 15th, 2017. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
