System76 and Ampere Collaborate on New Thelio Astra: An Interview with Joe Speed
Quoting: System76 and Ampere Collaborate on New Thelio Astra: An Interview with Joe Speed —
I don't know if everyone realizes the system76 products in general and things like Thelio in particular, these are not just built, they're not just assembled: these things are designed and thought about and engineered and tested and simulated. And you are doing this airflow fluid dynamics, like hotspot simulation, and you really put a lot of thought into this, and it's kind of amazing! I've spent some time at the factory there, me and my buddy Ken Peterson here at Ampere, and it's really incredible! It's sheet aluminum and aluminum billet enters the factory at one end and it leaves the factory as a beautiful finished product at the other end. And to have that happening, made in the USA, that's a really big deal for me. That's so incredible!
There's a lot of craftsmanship that goes into this and quality. And for anyone who's listening to this podcast, it's no mystery, no surprise that you have some serious open source and Linux and firmware and desktop development chops.
