Well just point me towards a FOSS laptop then. Or a FOSS TV? Why not a FOSS toothbrush?

Tech is not just software 🙄.

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.

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.

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 🙄
