at least 16x RK3588 MNT Pocket Reforms going out to customers today!

oof i want a computer mouse that does not develop jumpy (back and forth) mouse wheel syndrome... this is the second brand already (razr, and before it endgame gear)

nice, testing classic MNT Reform motherboard 3.0 with RK3588 and enabled 4x PCIe lanes and now getting 2.8GB/s NVMe read on a quick test with 1000x 10MB samples in gnome disks

looked into kojima's "snatcher" tonight and this intro screen made us chuckle (w/ @holo_memory)

BTW i recently set the launch video for the MNT Reform Next to public on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIQOJRLVdQY

i just want some cortex-x930 cores, is that too much to ask?

i've started hacking a bit on the MNT Pocket Reform keyboard firmware to decouple USB from input/display/sysctl handling using timer interrupts, i'll finish and clean that up next week. this should fix any "usb disconnect" issues.

but then i also noticed that we can easily bump i2c from 100 to 400 khz and everything goes brrrr
