   Intel's Xeon CPUs to come with "pay to add features". This sounds like the first step toward monthly payments to use your computer.

      Remember, if it is software, it can be hacked.
      If it can be hacked, it can be free.
      If it can be hacked, it can also be taken over by someone else if they get in.
      Where are my RISC-V CPU's?

         I did recently look at #RISC-V SBCs, but they were all fairly expensive crowdsource projects and none of them seemed even comparable to a #Raspberry_Pi.
         
         I saw one board that is supposed to be on a similar level to an #Arduino Duo ... but they didn't say whether it could be programmed with the same Arduino software.
         
         If I can get compute board and not just a microcontroller, I'd like to try to learn some more about programming in a RISC-V environment.
