Their main reason for creating a desktop was to make a device with this new Strix Halo mobile chip. It's a cool chip, but it's mobile and needs a redesign of the laptop motherboard and other parts. That's the reason why companies are not keen to launch laptops using it. Framework guys thought why not make it into a desktop form factor then.

Also, the thing with modular RAM, they contacted AMD, who in turn assigned engineers to try to make it modular. But due to the high bandwidth requirements and other signal integrity stuff, it's not possible. The main reason being it's more like a GPU chip with a few CPU cores tacked on.

Maybe use a RAM based fs? Some distros mount /tmp as tmpfs into the RAM. You can look into that.

Yeah, these things quickly boil down to the trusting trust thing (see Ken Thompson's Turing award lecture). You can't trust any system until you've designed every bit from scratch.

You gotta put your trust somewhere, or you won't be able to implement jack.

I got reminded of it last week after years. What are the chances it came up again. 😁

It's in Intercal, a joke language from '70s. Mark Rendle describes it here in his talk at NDC. This whole talk is ridiculous btw.

Can't say if you're being sarcastic, but the that account username in the image is definitely of an Indian male.

There's croc which looks very similar to magic-wormhole. Haven't used magic-wormhole so can't compare the two though.
