why free software supporters (e.g. FSF) only use corebooted thinkpads? There are several chromebooks with coreboot that can boot without blobs

b4 thinkpads Stallman used some cheap & obscure Chinese laptop just because its bios was free

oh hai

I believe it's to do with c2d being somewhat usable and lacking Intel ME

so they just stop researching freeable hardware because current systems just werk?

>>103240011
first things first, not all freetards support FSF. Second, they use thinkpads since they are cheap, repairable, their parts are inexpensive and have somewhat decent support for linux and coreboot. FSF shills librebooted thinkpads since they somehow fit into their weird philosophy and its one of the very few devices they deem to be free enough.
