@icedquinn rms cold emailed me this week asking me why i'm still running macOS. questions like this are some of the things i raised in my open letter response draft.
@icedquinn @thor the motherboard and battery need to be designed at the same time as the case. the keyboard as well; the unibody macs have the keyboard layout milled into the bottom case, so there are different bottom cases for the different keyboard layouts.
@icedquinn @thor i am willing to bet this m1 air is somewhere between 3 and 10 times faster than it, not even counting the GPU.
@icedquinn @thor no but we can disable the signing on the root, remount it rw in recovery, and remove a bunch of the trash
it's mostly uh. designing some nice concepts (quinn is bad at art ), getting the clearances for parts and zooping it over to CAD files, and then getting some crazy people to run the milling/cutting.
