The one that really bugs me is the Apple TV. It would be a great little box to use for terminals/thin client style work and there are a ton of old cheap ones. Having a $50 dollar used box that was low power and could run OSX would be great.

If the USA walks away and lets every other country pay a new fee to Iran… That would be interesting…

risky, it feels like there is a chance you'll still need an extra .0 to cover something unexpected.

I’m sure it wouldn’t be profitable for them, but I feel like having some vendor sell a ‘reference machine’ that they know could run the core OS well would be a good in between. Someone like Framework selling a workstation looking desktop in a specific reference config couldn’t be too bad. Feels like just enough to get a community started. Most tasks really don’t need bleeding edge hardware anymore, the thing could go years without hardware changes.

It's good to see their response. I feel like between the issues with CNCF being talked about on the Oxide and friends podcast, and this recent Jepson report, nats tends to get a decent amount of negative coverage.

Which is a shame, since I do think it's a great tool.

Anything new happening on the risc-v side of things? Last I heard there were some micro-itx boards at around rpi4 speed but haven’t heard much since.
