For example, when WD open-sourced their SweRV cores in 2019, they also committed to shipping 1 billion copies of the particular design. Beyond just the software ecosystem, they might be looking at incentivizing IP vendors to contribute to a rich ecosystem of interconnects, peripherals, and design/verification software.
Essentially, this means that there is zero risk, unless you are a target, at which point any unintentional hardware bug caused by the aforementioned corner-cutting will become a concern.

These days for obscure terms, you don't even get the luxury of reading garbage written by people who barely understand the topic at hand, instead you get meaningless fluff generated en masse using LLMs.
Honestly, I'd rather spend time parsing whatever doxygen spits out than try to figure out what the needlessly verbose yet inaccurate LLM output is trying to get at.
Further, NFC is usually the first to be left out when manufacturers cut costs to hit lucrative price points.
Apple never implemented host card emulation (HCE) as an API, but that doesn't matter as these payment systems usually aren't backed by a payment card network, thus they'd have to build needlessly complex reconcilliation systems when transactions already debit directly from accounts, and offline usage isn't considered a major use-case.
If it's about developing the ARM ecosystem, the Pi boards have systemready certification with ACPI tables and all the creature comforts, with supply issues improving.
As a consumer, a hypothetical Zen4 APU SBC would perform better (7840u) on both performance-per-watt and absolute performance metrics compared to equivalent price M series, while giving you access to the mature x86 ecosystem.
Private corporations even pay for open access because the addressable market for such a product in dollars will be a pittance compared to whatever it cost them to research the product.
Regardless, LLM training has a different notion about the public domain, so trade secrets are what you're looking for - licensing isn't going to stop anyone.

You could emulate the properties of blinking using piezoelectric transducers.
You can either have the desktop linux that is proven to work as a drop-in replacement, or you can have the lab rat version that only works out in engineering orgs.
Unfortunately, QWERTY versions would not enjoy the same scale of economy, mostly due to dexterity requirements that would alienate the usual target audience.

To be honest, it sort of makes sense, why would they want to open themselves upto unlimited brand damage liability from battery fires, while spending untold amount of man hours porting mainline linux onto obsolete platforms they'll never see a cent from anymore - whether it be in other products or through services revenue.
Apple didn't move off Samsung entirely until the A8, and they still rely on many Samsung hardware IPs within the SoC to this day. It was not just a fab arrangement from day 1. https://twitter.com/calebccff/status/1472517091970494465
Apple relied on many of the same suppliers as the rest of the industry for a very long time, except the ones they acquired and closed-off. Purely on a "rising tide lifts all boats basis", Intel would still have had access to the dominant player if the ARM-based touchscreen era wiped out the incumbents. However, this is still a very low-margin business, despite requiring more engineering effort than desktop.
You could argue that $1500 phones were unthinkable at the time, but as a commodity, chipset manufacturers see less than 5-10% percent of that, even on flagship phones.
Regardless, other laptop vendors have mostly caught up in performance anyway. Mobility might have a better case to be made.
Lenovo, Dell et al gets their devices certified with Canonical and Red Hat. OEMs usually work really closely with them.

There is a caveat to all of this - you will only ever be able to run the LTS version for the lifecycle.
With framework, you just hope that they follow intel/AMD reference design to the dot and that intel/AMD gets all the bugs out of the way.
Internally, it has the same privileges as a third party extension with webpage content access, so it cannot access the pdf viewer contents. I believe Edge is getting a new PDF viewer in Canary that might solve this. For now, you can select text 2000 characters at a time and send to chat or give it a URL (assuming that Bing can see it in the search index).
Bing chat is already good at handling recursive queries (with internet access) and processing poorly formatted PDFs from the indexer webcache, so I assume it would do well given the right conditions. It does Q&A really well on GitHub repositories, for example.
