@sleepyowl While I'm all for pushing back on the policy, we should also make technical measures. Stock pre-covid era hardware. No way that states can come for all that hardware and force us to turn it in.
As for the 'performance improvements' -- software, including OS written in the past 20 years is so shitty that with a lot of optimisation work we can make it run at least a 100x faster on any existing hardware.
