I was always enamored with the concept of OLPC in trying to develop a $100 laptop. Having an accessible low-power PC that is capable of light office productivity, web browsing & casual gaming was appealing. How come there isn't a successor to this concept? I understand the "smartphones are the real OLPC" but I find that they're a lousy solution to a still-legit problem of having a somewhat capable productive computer that is cheap and not beholden to corporate gatekeeping.
Given it's possible to 3d print circuit boards, I am curious how effective a homebrew laptop might be. You can get $200 laptops off ebay op, except they will all likely be full of hardware keyloggers and other spyware you'd have to detect first
>>213 (OP) My best guess is making them able to develop software rather than a cheap version of YT machine
