It is ridiculous. What is needed is a support for advert & bloat & forced updates free smart phone, not reinventing the wheel. Yes, someone must be first - but it is about software, not hardware.
Aside from the irony, there’s lots to be improved for a Desktop/touch-only computer if you can start fron scratch, vs. the current server hardware and software stack with a desktop HID shoehorned on it.
Also, can we please get rid of “recalculating a still image 60+ times a second just for the fun of it” and take a “changes-only, the rest buffered” approach? We don’t use CRT displays anymore.
