They are signed binaries nowadays. You need to know the signing key to resign the binary, otherwise it won't flash.

There's already work being done. You should have done better research yourself into the current state of things instead of creating a poor quality thread.

Cryptography, not enough manpower, and things like ME and PSP are unironically well written - they contain only backdoors and (((unintended bugs))) that serve only their owner (not you).

It would take too long, so it isn't worth, because hardware gets older and less used.

Read FAQ of libreboot, it explains a lot:

https://libreboot.org/faq.html#intel

https://libreboot.org/faq.html#amd

It is actually so hard to get rid of proprietary firmware, that it is easier to create new hardware, ie. EOMA68 and Libre Risc-V:

https://www.crowdsupply.com/libre-risc-v/m-class

In my opinion supporting companies, that make ethical hardware is more effective in long term, than buying unethical hardware, and disassembly that shit.

>>1019645

Good, affordable RISC-V hardware can't come soon enough.

it's hard because 'the law'

e.g. Purism engineers had to censor their findings on Intel's FSP.

>>1019644

SHUT IT DOWN

try harder moshe

>>1019649

Actually they are planning to make a working device in two and a half of year. The growth of Risc-V (and Libre Risc-V) market will be exponential, now it is slow, because it's a new thing. Also what else could you do? Buy an Intel processor with ME shit? I'll rather wait 3 years.

>>1019755

lmao, no. It won't because normie doesn't give a shit about libre this or open that. If it runs vidya fast and does facebook and pornhub only the price matters otherwise and that risc stuff will always be way more expensive.

The three neckbeards browsing here who save up their benefits for a few months to buy one don't really fucking matter, nor will it make that market cheaper. They weren't even enough purchasing-power-wise to make the ARM-market non-retarded and there the chips are literally a dime a dozen.

>>1019763

Up to 40% less power consumption, no patents, easier colaboration and better security because of free software (cheaper to develop) - it's perfect for the mobile devices world.

Normies are not the only target.

In this update, developer explains, how is it going to succeed.

>lmao, no.

fuck off Intel shill

>>1019768

>Thinking that anything > price in the world of consumer electronics

If Risc-V can't do it cheaper it won't be used.

>>1019768

>easier colaboration and better security because of free software (cheaper to develop) - it's perfect for the mobile devices world.

You don't understand the mobile world.

No player in it wants to give up even the tiniest bit of control, be it over the end user or other producers, there's just too much money to be made from it.

>>1019768

Wrong. Normies are the ONLY target. What the "enthusiast" market wants doesn't really matter and is certainly not enough to pull an entirely new platform. Have you ever looked at the current numbers of people that even use Desktop Linux? It's tiny. If these RISC things don't run Windows (and with that games etc.) they're already dead in the water for the desktop market, which is shrinking anyways. Also, ever heard of "wintel"?

Dude, I like risc as much as the other guy and don't even have any intel CPUs anymore, but it's just not realistic.

>>1019823

Also, what this guy said. Nobody cares about quality for the consumer. The truly important think is to squeeze every last penny out of them for the stockholders.

>>1019823

>>1019838

Ok, I see the point, but I hope Risc-V will be cheap enough, so we can afford it.

I know it sounds unrealistic, but we can make normies care more about security. I told my normie friend about EOMA68 and libre hardware generally and he told me "Wow cool, I could buy one and install GNU/Linux(yes I made him talk like that) on it, so I can have extra computer". He suprised me, because he uses an iPhone and all nonfree crap. Education is the key...

>>1019838

Normalfags are NOT a target. At all. Developers and manufacturers are.

I can set up a Linux desktop with some rice and a browser and make most people think it's Windows or Apple.

They already use Android in the billions, a FOSS product.

Normalfags are ignorant and apathetic, so just make them secure and FOSS fans without them even knowing. Make it the easy option. That is how to free the washed masses.

>>1019975

protip: convenient and popular proprietary applications will always cause people to reject FOSS. If you want to change people, you'll have to convince them that freedom is a very high priority.

>>1019975

>I can set up a Linux desktop with some rice and a browser and make most people think it's Windows or Apple.

LARP harder, any Apple user is going to see right through it because they care only about the brand and your setup clearly isn't official, and most Windows users will immediately notice that the UI isn't the same, that they can't run that one obscure program they use everyday, and that the options they like to change aren't in the same place or even exist anymore.

>They already use Android in the billions, a FOSS product.

Android isn't FOSS. Some parts of Android are FOSS, many aren't, and the most used versions of the OS have built in DRM that locks you out of some functions if you get root.

Bringing Android as an example of successful FOSS is advanced stupidity.

>>1020022

You can also make convenient and popular FOSS such as VLC, Notepad++, 7zip, Blender, and many others, but that takes a lot more effort and attention to user demands than what LARPers are willing to put in.

>Why hasn't anyone tried this?

Only one reason: it's already been tried.

And (((intel-aviv)))

SHUT IT DOWN

>linux niggers say:

>MUH we have open sourz OS we are safe from CIA and jews

<CIA NIGGERS put mandatory hardware backdoor (ME/PSP + UEFI) into all CPU's and chipsets

<CIA NIGGERS say: sure you are safe, linux niggers :^)

linux niggers can do some crap quality OS and use it, but they won't design and produce their CPU's and hardware. they lost

inb4 chink or russian hardware

>implying it will be any less backdoored

world is lost, only terrorism is what is left

>>1019838

>Have you ever looked at the current numbers of people that even use Desktop Linux?

but linux is not good for "enthusiast" market. linux is shit for it

>>1020032

Yes and FOSS community don't give a fuck about user needs.

this

free hardware = DRM doesn't work

free hardware = there is no way to stop piracy

free hardware = it's harder to mine goyim data and sell it to third parties

there is no money motive for free hardware

we need to kill profit motive, we need to HOLOCAUST CAPITALISM

after we defeat capitalism and change society goals, we can have a market for free open secure privacy hardware

free hardware won't be possible if a single jew is alive

>>1019838

>Dude, I like risc as much as the other guy and don't even have any intel CPUs anymore, but it's just not realistic.

what if:

-intel factories will be blown up

-intel management and owners will stop breathing

-intel workers will get bullied in real life and forced to stop working there

how will they produce CPUs if they physically stop existing?

>>1019975

>They already use Android in the billions, a FOSS product.

Android that people have in their phones is not FOSS, it's closed and contains binary blobs

>>1020093

>we need to kill profit motive

So the biggest motive left is power over others?

Nice try Stalin

>>1020032

shit

probably shit too

>>1019654

Thank fuck for Positive Technologies. Based Russia is cracking the fuck out of (((Intel))) and there ain't shit that those Jews can do about it.

I'm sure the Russians are much further along than they publicly admit, too.

>>1020171

List better alternatives, state why you think extremely succesful FOSS is shit, and/or go commit die.

>>1020202

here is original before intel SHUT IT DOWN:

http://archivecaslytosk.onion/keCad

save it to your PC and spread everywhere you can

what's the point of using linux if you use it on top of fully backdoored hardware?

>>1020703

It just werks, no forced updates, no spying from smaller "agencies" and advertisers who don't have access to those backdoors, ricing, ease of maintenance, ease of setting up networking, printers (just plug it in and it works), speed, development tools, CLI software, reliability, free (cost), no telemetry, less normalfaggotry...

>>1020703

You probably share all your data to Faceberg too, don't you?

>>1020259

Thanks for providing the onion link.

>>1020703

Unironically, not breaking copyright law.

>>1020259

Is there any news about this?

Fully remove IntelME on Sandy Bridge and above would be execellent.. Cheap boards & cpus everywhere.

I can't believe he would just stop digging down the rabbit hole because Jewtel told him to shut it down.

I've heard about Talos systems but you need to add a non-free GPU (there is no free vbios for any nvidia & amd cards afaik) and it is fucking expensive as well. (with custom fees if you are in Europe..)

>>1021846

>I can't believe he would just stop digging down the rabbit hole because Jewtel told him to shut it down.

maybe they offered him this choice:

a. you shut it down

b. we suicide you

this is why such things shouldn't be done with your real name, they will kill you

we need to be anonymous terrorists
