Linked from the comments to the LWN article below is this Allwinner A64 "build it yourself" laptop kit: https://www.olimex.com/Products/DIY-Laptop/KITS/TERES-A64-WHITE/open-source… → Quad Core Allwinner A64 64-bit Cortex-A53 processor → LCD 11.6" 1366x768 pixels → 2GB DDR3L memory → 16GB eMMC flash memory → WiFi 150Mb, BLE 4.0 → Camera → HDMI → 2 x USB → Built-in stereo audio → 3.5mm audio jack (stereo out, microphone in) → Battery 9500mAh → Weight 980 gr And the price for this kit? EUR 240, about right for the specs. This is more than enough "for grandma". And note “This product is on high demand and there is long list of pending orders, we will not be able to ship immediately. We will proceed your order and ship in 2-3 weeks.” The build it yourself might be the better approach for small/ kickoff libre HW projects. One day we shall have full free/libre and open source CPU/SOC and related support chips for our laptops. Good luck, https://lwn.net/Articles/733837/ Building an ARM64 laptop [$] [Front] Posted Sep 15, 2017 23:19 UTC (Fri) by corbet Processors based on the 64-bit ARM architecture have been finding their way into various types of systems, including mobile handsets and servers. There is a distinct gap in the middle of the range, though: there are no ARM64 laptops. Bernhard Rosenkränzer and a group of colleagues set out to change that situation by building such a laptop from available components. He showed up at the 2017 Open Source Summit North America to present the result.

1984 USA + Movie: All your, and babies, samples and DNA stored forever, sold, tracked, investigated, researched
by grarpamp 13 May '18

13 May '18

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/california-biobank-dna-babies-who-has-access/ They were shocked when KPIX reporter Julie Watts explained it to them. The Newborn Genetic Screening test is required in all 50 states Nearly every baby born in the United States gets a heel prick shortly after birth. Their newborn blood fills six spots on a special filter paper card. Even though the parents pay ... the child's leftover blood spots become property of the state and may be sold to outside researchers without the parent's knowledge or consent. "I just didn't realize there was a repository of every baby born in the state. It's like fingerprints," new mom Soniya Sapre responded. stores the remaining blood spots for research indefinitely in a state-run biobank "Blood is inherently or intrinsically identifiable 500,000 births a year,more than 9.5 million blood spot samples have been collected since 2000 the program reported $128 million in revenue during the last fiscal year alone, mostly generated by the fees parents pay for the test. Parents are charged around $130 on their hospital bill there is the potential for outside researchers to profit off your child's genetic material. "Do any of those studies result in something that the company can make money from?" reporter Julie Watts asked Lorey in a recent interview. "Could they create a test or treatment that they ultimately profit from?" "Theoretically, yes," Lorey admitted. not all, of these researchers that have made requests are scientific researchers." So there is no possibility a researcher may request blood spots for a specific research experiment … but then keep blood spots without the department's knowledge to be used for other purposes?" she asked. "I want to say no" he said. "But I'm not ready to say no because I know how humans can be sometimes." Due to biological variability of newborns and differences in detection rates for the various disorders in the newborn period, the California Newborn Screening Program will not identify all newborns with these conditions. While a positive screening result identifies newborns at an increased risk to justify a diagnostic work-up, a negative screening result does not rule out the possibility of a disorder. result should not be considered diagnostic, and cannot replace the individualized evaluation and diagnosis of an infant by a well-trained, knowledgeable health care provider. re-identified for various reasons We found at least five search warrants and four court orders I think the storage of DNA for purposes other than medical research without informed consent clearly is violating ... What are they trying to hide?" "blood specimen and information," collected during a test paid for by the child's parents, becomes "property of the state. If hospitals and the medical complex is so concerned that if we knew that we might not donate our samples, than we absolutely need to know what they're doing with them because it suggests there is a purpose beyond what we know. none have shown any interest in giving parents the right to opt out For all the abuse by the system only 0.16% of them test positive, fewer truly escape significant quality of life issues, even fewer are cured. https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Newborn_screening#Society_and_culture Have your babies at home the old fashioned way. Demand all test samples get returned for your own destruction and no DNA or other tracer be retained.. Pay for private, non state, tests. Raise bloody hell. Startup your own private testing companies, offering sliding cost menus from total privacy to full sellout. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpzVFdDeWyo infohash: 3B33BC5DC0EB29150A55D4EAAB0E6EE7B201EFEA infohash:73888C8F4956FB91F41101828C685D4B8120E205

My dear garbage fire brother, Please, do *not* take my words of its context and stop telling daily lies. Jeez, is it not a sin in your religion? It's really disgusting! :((( I would *never* ask for any murder. Why the heck do you think I am a veggie since my earlier years? Because I was a hipster, being veggie before it becomes hype, very cool? Hahahaha!!! ;D I do *not* support any death. And, sorry, if you were not informed about it, the life of cows, pigs, chickens, cats, dogs, koalas, and several other animals, is *not* more important than *any human life*, including yours. But I confess that, technically, I don't include you among the rational beings. Already met doggies much smarter than you. And they were cuter and less boring too! :D I do not know if there is a Hell or not, my detestable garbage fire brother, but in positive case, we will meet there someday and, remember, you will arrive first. You are much older and hated than me, so the probabilities are better on my side, hahaha!! <charming wink> ;) I hope your atoms can be used in a better way, like beautiful flowers and trees. James, you are a bad seed, a rotten apple in the society, spreading hate and intolerance. You are the broken potato chip in the package, the one that always makes a mess and is wasted, aff... :((( Ah, my dear, remember that I am being banned and excluded in some feminist radical groups for defending equality of treatment of women and men, for really believing that intelligence and character are much more important than genders, races, religions, sexual options, whatever... I will always try to respect all the people, but illogical, heartless racist, sexist, and homophobic garbage fire people like you do *not* deserve my respect and my time. I am deeply sorry for disappointing you, but instead of "enthusiastically calling for the murder of Christians, whites, and males", I do prefer to mourn the recent deaths of my friends and think about the future, about our lost plans and dreams. All the three were "Christian white males", but it doesn't matter. What is really important, what is making me cry for their deaths, is the fact that all the three were lovely, very kind, amazing human beings, always trying to share their knowledge and helping other people. I will miss them until the last of my days. Who will cry for your death, James? Who will miss you? Nobody. Bye bye, baby! See you in Hell or maybe in another reincarnation. It's also a possibility to be strongly considered, because Zenaan and you are the living proofs of the existence of other lives. Nobody can become so odious, hateful, and stupid in one single human life. It takes muuuch time... :P Ceci <3
