If you don't mind spending a bit more, there is the hummingboard which has a better USB implementation and options for gigabit ethernet/wifi/bluetooth. In addition, it runs more conventional distributions of Linux (iirc, Debian armhf).
Also, if you want to cheap out on compilers, GCC is a perfectly valid option on AIX.
The folks at Mozilla would beg to differ unless they're stopped NOTFIXing gcc on it.
Wouldn't mind if they would done their part to keep the slightly older, but still-viable CHRP systems in the loop. AIX is one thing, but dropping it from Linux just seems odd.
AFAIK, it seems like the only way you can still build for POWER3 is if you build the toolchain not to be crippled or go with a fully 32-bit system.
If you've not followed things, they've tried to drop anything below POWER4 for support. Perfectly fine POWER3-II's get arbitrary cuts.
Now that IBM's let Lenovo bastardize their x86 platforms, that only leaves the stuff that no normal person could hope to afford - POWER.
Perhaps they could come up with some entry point that doesn't have EOL written all over it.
Congratulations, you just proved that it won't fail the test of targeting one party.
If they're willing to go far enough to pass that law, I wouldn't put it past them to pre-emptively shut down some tax domiciles.
If you want to sell in the United States we get to tax your global profits?"
More like "If you want to operate in the US and want its protection, forget about using jurisdictional shell games"
They aren't paying for any protection provided by the US.
Apple: Cars that few can afford
Android Auto: Everyone else.
Dramatic Shifts In Manufacturing Costs Are Driving Companies To US, Mexico
They're only interested in Southern or Southernized states, which is not representative of the US. That is, they're only interested in places with a well-defended "know thy place" mentality where labor is rendered servile.
Any deviance from said philosophy is severely punished, whether it be by individuals or corporations. In the case of individuals, it is measured in legally-friendly terminations, designed to break support. In the case of corporations, especially the precedent-setting Volkswagen, interest groups will threaten to take out tax incentives or otherwise hobble the company.
I personally do not expect thing to get better.
That's what you get when you let a Third World hellhole be the target of design and that First World nations get shoddy translations.
If you make a few cuts in the side plastic, an HTC One M7 will fit in there as well. Cut out the camera section a bit more and you get to use that as well.
With respect to contract work to people and places that normally don't see it, it is a net loss.
