Firmware optimisation costs way more than I expected
Just got quoted another $5000 to finalise firmware on a prototype I'm building. Already spent $500 on ACPI and EFI fixes. This kind of cost only makes sense if you're spreading it across a batch, completely impractical for an individual. Probably part of the reason affordable Linux hardware is so rare.
