Wait is generation on the host? Nonono you generate a GPG key on the key then export the public key and derive the SSH key. These instructions are wrong the host never should store the key even if airgapped

And since when was RISC-V retro? Calling RISC-V fantasy might be accurate. I fail to see how everyone shifting to an open ISA benefits the people. Saves chip designers a dollar on licensing sure. But the RTL is still closed for most RISC-V that gets tape out. So you have no clue what it’s doing. “open”. Sure.

No its history, it isn’t made up. And retro computers are still operational. Not as many sure but take them away and the lights go out.

Is it retro? Sounds like some kind of fantasy game. The Tandy it was designed to mimic was actually made to help real people in real work

If you’re into the D1 get a $25 Mango Pi 1Gb from Alixexpress. They also have very nice minimalist metal cases if you search. Wifi and bluetooth onboard.

This Devterm product looks great largely because it copied the design of the Tandy. But, the reviews for the build quality are damning, the chip is underpowered for this task and some of the design choices make no sense. Who needs a thermal printer in 2022? Why are there two giant bezels on the sides that pop open the case?

But hey nice try. A few more revisions and I might buy one. I like that they’re trying something different, big points there. I wonder if they could put magnetic modules on the back like Motorola’s bricks (phoneblocks?) concept.

Right the monarchy has to go, or should have no part in government affairs. That’s not democracy.

you mean persistent thieves with access to a phone intent on stealing food from your family table? No, because where would you aim?
