Wait till you hear about the Talos POWER-architecture computers

TALOS at least has a reason to exist, as eye-wateringly expensive as it is.

How is Talos any different? Just POWER vs RISC-V

Talos makes it harder to backdoor the machine, because it’s radically open. An average RISC-V or ARM machine still contains various blobs and design compromises that make it harder to know that your code (or at least, code reviewed by you/the community at large) is the only thing running on the machine.

I wouldn’t recommend Talos to anyone who doesn’t have the need for it (and vast pockets to match), but I wish every ARM and RISC-V machine could be as open and trustable.
