I saw your headline and got excited for a moment, as I've been interested in this product since they announced it.

AFAIK this still needs some developer-work.

I guess it depends on what operating system you decide to use...

(There's also Shift who make a similar product : https://www.shiftphones.com/en/)

There are RISC-V cores, whose designs have been published, which are capable of running a lightweight Linux distro, and even SBCs with them on. T-Head's C906 on the Nezha board is an example.

Apparently China is "abusing" RISC-V! I simply don't understand the mentality. :/

I guess this is a fair indication then of how much Meta receives per person from advertisers...

I really like the Lichee Pi 4A, and I hope to get one when I next need to buy a computer. My computing needs are relatively light, and I think the Lichee Pi would be perfectly sufficient.

I check the Alpine repository from time to time - https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages - just to see what apps are available for RISC-V : and actually, it's impressive to see the amount of work that has gone into rebasing apps. Godot doesn't appear to be there for RISC-V though, sorry.

So my advice would be to realise what apps you really need, and check if they're available yet. And if they aren't it's always worth contacting the app maintainer.

Perhaps at that point the consumer will opt for the repairable options.

A sign that the smartphone has reached maturity, I guess. People don't feel the imperative to upgrade any more. That's good for the planet!

What a remarkable bolt! Can it come and do my place when it's finished?

... so not much has changed in a hundred years then.

The most popular Western OS (and probably the other commercial OSs too) sends every key typed back to base. Plus every website visited. Plus every document amended.
