That's not an excuse. Go get yourself a T420!

We neeeeeeeeeed GPL licensed firmware phones and other devices

Btw buy me a T420

That is true... Phone ecosystem sucks for this reason.

Sadly, I cannot buy you a T420 without having you (and your cartel operation) being exposed.

My laptop (well, ships in Q2, so I can't do a damn thing yet anyway) doesn't support libreboot (but I believe they're working on it?) Framework. I was more focused on the upgradability/fixibility of the hardware, because I'm tired of the typical hardware and it's anti-consumer features. Hopefully an option soon exists for the AMD 7 (or whatever the hell processor I chose for the 16.)

Oh man, I've been eyeing that for a while! I'm hoping they can get that out of the way soon!
