It's probably way more powerful, very cool!

AFAICT, depends on whether you can build and boot a working Android distro for the hardware without all the hardware manufacturer and Google surveillance crap.

even then you probably have some CPU Hardware Vulnerabilities.

Eh. That's the case with any commodity hardware. I won't let it stop me from ~~hacking~~, erm, ~~maker-ing~~, whatever the hell kids call being an amateur computer software and hardware enthusiast these days.

In before the pedants - "any" is an exaggeration. I suppose there are niche markets where the chip is triple independently scrutinized to ensure no fuckery has been added before encapsulation in the package. That's not the world I live in though so, Eh.

This one is reputed to be clean - though I cannot vouch for it.

It's not the CPU which is the issue, it's the
filrmware
. One must note that every risc-V on the market is actually a proprietary version of the open spec, and the firmware is also proprietary. Risc-V machines are no more (or less) Free than any other.
The Talos Workstations are probably the most Free (and clean) machines on the market - being completely open, except for the Power8 CPU design.

There are open specs for an earlier version of the PowerPC and one for SPARC as well. Maybe MIPs? Anyway, no one is using them, as far as I am aware.

It’s all right what you say but I think it’s better for the environmental impact to use old devices. Yes the community could be better in teaching how to use Google-free Android.

That is the first time I'm hearing that, that's super disappointing. I was under the assumption that it worked as other open licences:(

Just take a look at any RISC-V device. The device-specific CPU design is nowhere to be found.
