Well just point me towards a FOSS laptop then. Or a FOSS TV? Why not a FOSS toothbrush?
Tech is not just software 🙄.
I've only got the laptop

Open source is not just software
Chonky boi but I like it
FOSS is just software.. it's literally what's that acronym means.
Edit: imagine downvoting the truth because it slapped you in the face. Hope you all get a fucking welt from that reality check.
Yeah you gotta have FOSH
Because the last S in FOSS stands for software?

Who sharted in your coffee this morning?
Beeing excited about parts of tech does not warrant you to be a grumpy old man.
Also RISC-V exists and there are laptops, there you go
They are not amazing in performance but it is pretty amazing that they exist at all.
Saying FOSS solves enshittification and disregarding the fact that this completely ignores the entire hardware enshittification side of things is dumb as all hell.
And I will not stand for dumb bullshit.
The laptops you mentioned are not FOSS because they're neither free nor software. So my point stands about the shit the top comment in this thread is spewing about FOSS as the enshittification solution.
Any laptop can be a FOSS laptop.

FOSS just stands for "free and open source software". While repairability fits in with the ethos, it's a separate issue.
firmware is software, which often powers hardware 🙄
That's cool buddy, next time someone talks about Tech in general (the post you clearly didn't read from OP), you can spew your strawman bullshit about how FOSS solves enshittification. And be wrong as all fuck.
