Probably a government issued (or totally non-pozzed) Toughbook CF-31 that Runs strictly on Tails + Whonix out of one of these (pic related).

Everyone's talking about laptops, so I'll go the IBM 360 route.

Give me a rack of these for bulk computation.
sony.net
Fill a second rack with these for long-term storage.
Development terminals would be some variety of laptops that SSH into the servers when necessary.
Graphics stations would consist of a rack filled with graphics cards feeding into motherboard with a CPU clocked as high as possible. Made to run hot, the system would have its own HVAC(minus the H) system to maintain good temps. This would have a standard keyboard+mouse+monitor setup, but would also be a testing spot for various hardware for simulations(cockpits, VR treadmills, )
The last part of my computer would be small army of full-time devs to burn 4,000 hours each week on a set of projects of my choosing.
For software, I'd start the team off developing an OS to efficiently distribute simulations/programs across the server severs/cores.
With that done, I'd set my team to tackle the following project first:
1. Create an ecosystem of neural nets that are each trained to solve an individual problem.
2. Create a traditional AI with hard-coded logic to make use of these nets to fill the role of personal assistant. This would be the core.
3. Refactor by replacing sections of hard-coded logic with nets.
4. Expand the ecosystem and core periodically, refactoring as needed.
5. teach the core to retrain nets periodically in the background

Think of all of the wasted compute and dev time.
Elijah Powell
A laptop I can 100% (no ceiling) can prove mathematically it's fsf-approved
Parker Sanchez
For a computer that old, it shouldn't be hard to modify TempleOS to work on that.
Austin Hernandez
Whatever Apple chooses to release. I pay them to let to build the trendiest computer for me, so I can be free to experience all that life has to offer. It is liberating not have to spend my life pouring over tech reviews and benchmarks just to determine the hardware I'm going to collaborate with. Apple understands how I work in ways other companies cannot.

Are you trying to suggest that buying hundreds of thousands of dollars in hardware, and then millions in hiring an army of programmers to do random projects for fun would be wasteful?
Oliver Murphy
wrong mindset
you need to start at the router level.

did the kikes fix the quality problems? heard that they moved their productions to china and that was bad for the quality.
Brandon Morales
How usable is it in practice (drivers, compatibility with 32-bit, etc.)? Is it a better choice for an NT5 system capable of >4GiB RAM than 32-bit Server 2k3?
Austin Bennett
You run your storage devices in PIO mode, hogging the CPU whenever there's any I/O?
Jason Martin
Ultimate XP/WS2003 machine?
Angel Miller
As for dream machine: I just want a CF-U1 with a modern Atom or Ryzen APU. Fuck GPD, i'd pay big bucks for a Toughbook like that.
Or a CF-31 with Whiskey Lake because why not.
Julian Taylor
enjoy being rowhammered why even bother with hw killswitches and libreboot at that point.

Only if you don't min/max your fun-value added after the fact by adhering to industry best practices in order to get the most out of your setup. That hardware ain't getting any newer and those devs' tendons and spinal disks ain't getting any younger. Rule over your domain with an iron fist full of KPIs and quantitative business modeling.
Cameron Sanchez
So with multicore CPUs, non-DMA I/O suddenly becomes a non-issue?

4:3 1080p means 1440x1080. That's worse than the 1600x1200 resolution we've seen on some ThinkPads of old, and 8 GB isn't a lot of RAM. You need more ambition, user.
Christopher Martin
It could also be 1920x1440 which was around on some CRTs. 4:3 1080p ultimately means nothing, hell, the "p" doesn't even make sense for computer displays.
I don't know why no manufacturer has used the Ipad Pro screen for anything. It's 12" 4:3 in some ungodly resolution; would be great on a proper machine. I guess Apple has exclusivity or something.

To go beyond 8GB you need at least DDR3, which means being vulnerable to Rowhammer.
Jayden Sullivan
The 'p' suffix kinda got to generically mean "pixels of vertical resolution".
Jacob Carter

If you have a free DMA slot you'll get owned even by just plugging something you own in it or when some agent plug it in while you're out of town. Same with sd cards. Even USB is not secure, it can send keystrokes and create a program in under few seconds assuming they can bring up shell and have something to bypass root. Sometimes less is more.
Daniel Hughes

I don't think Risc V can do graphics, I just didn't specify because I don't reaaly care about it. It can be anything around the same performance as an Intel HD Graphics
I just meant the screen should be "Full HD", no 4k autism
And 8gb is more than enough
Liam Morales
But is there anyway to actually protect your computer from physical access attack? I thought it was just game over. So I don't get why you're saying that. Shouldn't physical access be a problem only regarding "quick" physical access, meaning while you're out for 5 minutes for your stuff left at your desk or something like that (you could counter with port obstruction for example).
Jose Thomas
Full HD is a marketing term for 1920x1080, my man.
What's with the aversion to high resolution displays anyway? Finally, non-raster fonts don't have to look like blurry shit.
Ryder Ortiz
Never got around to owning one, they all sold out before I could even try one. It's a computer in itself, you can ssh into it, program it, other stuff. And yeah, microSD. But tbh, what I wanted is more or less impossible from what I gather, I could have sworn I read somewhere that Tails and Whonix were possible, but nah, most people just use Qubes + Whonix, which you can't even install on Toughbooks beyond MK1 it seems, according to their compatible devices.
Grayson Lee
So basically what if gpd plagiarized the thinkpad. Keep the internals small to maximize battery size. Upgrading or changing architectures should be as easy as swapping a mainboard.
