Re: [Arm-netbook] Technoethical - a good-looking seller of HW with Libre SW & firmware (Technoethical holds RYF certification)

Hi Kyle,

Looking at the laptops, they're all refurbished Thinkpads with Intel inside. I would perform a libre installation on such hardware if someone already owned it, but I would certainly never consider selling it as anything close to libre hardware. It has been said that the software makes all the difference, but Intel ucode really is a thing, and the stuff they have hidden in their CPU's for years makes libre software pretty much moot.

Correct. I should have used the official term "libre-friendly" instead of "libre".

Cheers,
