<sewn>
why is the pocket so darn expensive
<sewn>
i could buy a full decked out x2100 with 10th generation cpu
<sewn>
there are even custom pcbs to make the keyboard ortho or split
<sewn>
actual scam wth

<sad_plan>
the price comes from being open, and custom I suppose. frameworks are also somewhat more expensive because of this
<midfavila>
sewn, not rich, i'm just frugal
<sewn>
What does that mean
<midfavila>
i just got the imx8 som sad_plan
<sad_plan>
better at spending less money sewn
<midfavila>
sewn the reform is completely custom and required a lot of risk and work
<midfavila>
and besides i have sdf and my workstation for sheer performance
<midfavila>
i bought the reform because of all of tge little QoL features
<midfavila>
the*
<midfavila>
although the ls1028a som is pretty solid
<sewn>
whats wrong with a x220
<midfavila>
an x220 doesn't have a trackball, mechanical keyboard, open source schematics, etc
<sad_plan>
midfavila: cool
<midfavila>
not to mention it's hard to get aftermarket parts vs the reform
<sewn>
so gay
<midfavila>
since the reform uses off the shelf parts for most stuff
<sad_plan>
would that be the i.mx8mq or the plus model?
<midfavila>
the imx8mq
<midfavila>
i don't want the plus
<sad_plan>
thats probably one of the best sellingpoints for the reform. you can find parts from it alot of places
<sad_plan>
I see. why not? appat from the price perhaps
<midfavila>
imx8mq is the most stable and efficient
<sad_plan>
I see
<midfavila>
also doesn't have integrated wifi and bt
<sad_plan>
why would you not want wifi? I get bluetooth, but wifi
<sad_plan>
do you never run wifi?
<midfavila>
i don't not want wifi
<midfavila>
i want discrete wifi
<midfavila>
otherwise i'm wasting money on parts i won't use
<midfavila>
like i bought the mobo my workstation has in part because it has very minimal onboard stuff
<sad_plan>
hm, I see
<midfavila>
but yeah i'll either port kiss to it or install p9 and then just virtualize kiss
<sad_plan>
have you used plan9 before?
<midfavila>
yep
<midfavila>
not extensively but i attended the 2020 p9 bootcamp at sdf
<sad_plan>
does it suffice for you though? I mean, if you use VMs, probably anyone could make use of it though. atleast to some extent
<sad_plan>
cool
<midfavila>
i don't really use the web so
<midfavila>
yeah it does
<midfavila>
i'm gonna be doing more programming soon as well, inshallah
<sad_plan>
yeah, that sets the bar a lot lower tbh :p
<sad_plan>
nice
<midfavila>
at some point i'mm gonna go full schizo and retreat to a log cabin in the woods where i'll spend the rest of my days working on an OS in Scheme
<sad_plan>
cabin in the woods sounds nice
<riteo>
midfavila: based
<riteo>
dripping wisdom from every letter, +1 for the minimal motherboard and modularity requirements
<riteo>
nowadays we have super fast peripheral busses, fuck onboard stuff.
