I'm happy to announce the *Libreboot 3050 Micro*:

https://minifree.org/product/libreboot-3050-micro/

This is a Dell OptiPlex 3050 Micro with Libreboot pre-installed, replacing Dell's proprietary UEFI firmware. Your choice of Debian Linux, other distro or BSD.

Libreboot offers greater security and faster boot speeds than Dell's firmware. This is a 7th gen mainboard; it replaces the larger Libreboot 9020SFF.

I'm Libreboot's founder / lead dev. Sales fund Libreboot.

Libreboot T480 also launched:

Discord has rolled out an annoying new "feature" where now it sends push notifications every time someone reacts to a message with an emoji. This can be turned off in settings > notifications

Progress!
The code is a huge buggy mess, and 2 of the displays are prototypes, so need to be re printed to one degree or another. Aaaaaaand they all need to be properly calibrated again.
Still a huge amount of work to do before we can think about the casing, and we've not even touched the eInk display yet,
BUT it IS progressing.

One of the major RF test equipment suppliers (Rohde & Schwarz) has published a FREE 129 page technical note on making common measurements using a spectrum analyzer. While focused on using R&S equipment, many measurements are also applicable for those with other brands (even lower cost home lab equipment like TinySA-Ultra, etc.). Includes background theory and how-to-measure step-by-step walk throughs. A fun read for geeks!
