ossabot: Logged on 2019-12-05 06:33:41 spyked: also otoh, I'm not entirely sure custom biosen/chips are the way to go, since they require a fair amount of reverse engineering, which is usually a massive time sink. it'd certainly be an interesting research project, but it's not something I'd make the delivery of tmsr-os depend on.
spyked: urds is gruesome (read: both very risky and time-consuming) enough that doing it once will shift the business towards
tmsr hardware ossabot: Logged on 2019-12-05 07:45:04 mircea_popescu: it's only interesting because it's how "bake own hardware" eventually starts ; sure as fuck can't have anything stalled on it.
spyked: anyway, I'ma sit on this thread for a while, will focus on getting uefi disentangled for now
BingoBoingo: spyked: My suspicion is that the cost of acquiring a TMSRbootable board is almost aways going to beat supporting new hardware, unless the new hardware is *very* interesting.
spyked will admit he doesn't even know how reverse engineering costs can be estimated, most likely due to lack of experience. will ask around, maybe someone in the field can give an idea
BingoBoingo just assuming hardware is cheaper than directed hands on a task
