I love it(in context of FreeBSD):

—————

What does not work: Keyboard, mouse, TB & USB-C ports, thermal/freq mgt.

Conclusion: Highly recommended

That was a bit ironic, indeed, but at least the USB-A works!

For what it's worth, the majority of mechanical RGB keyboards and mice are USB-A anyways, so, if you're fine with a very powerful machine that wouldn't have an internal keyboard support for a few weeks, sounds like a good advice anyways!

An ARM64 is "a very powerful computer"? The whole promise with ARM is better thermals and long battery life, not screaming performance. With the thermals/cpu not working, we don't even get that.

M4 crushing benchmarks and AWS running Graviton 2 would disagree on the idea of "whole premise".

I always knew hardware discussions on HN were below the normal standards. But sometimes I am still surprised at how low it can go.

To me it seems some people developed some highly political or even religious views on tech. Truth doesn't matter as much as it used to. It's more of "I like the idea behind X, I think X is cool so X should be the best thing ever".
