The Power 10 is not RISC-V. It is a RISC processor, namely of the Power ISA architecture, based on the good old PowerPC 601.
I have not dealt with those chips for about 30 years, though.

New Zeeland. But not by plane - by ship! I hate flying, but half around the globe on a small luxury cruise ship or yacht would be nice.
I'll wait and see when someone finally produces a RISC-V chip that can keep up with the big boys. But they can't even compete with ARM at the moment, so I am not holding my breath.
No they don't. At least not in the broad populace. Blame the lack of education and critical thinking for it - it is done on purpose to keep the people docile.
I do care and feel sorry for the kids, but I cannot change their parents.
It is not easy to determine how fixable this is. IIRC, the ESP32 has the wireless stack hidden from user space, and I am not sure if it is a blob included during link time, or if it is stored in a ROM of the chip. I do have the chips and the development enviroment in my studio, but (luckily) I decided to use a different chip for my project.
But I know there is a load of systems using either the ESP32 as their main processor, or as an auxiliary processor to add WiFi or BT capabilities, so this really is a big oh shit moment.
Just wait until a jester creates a software that sends an erase flash backdoor command to any BT device it sees.
While I have a few ESP32 in my collection, I am now happy that I chose a different platform for my project.
I wonder what people will say in Nürnberg next week at Embedded World.
Sorry for the kids, but I have simply given up to care about the members of this suicide cult.
Nobody ever claimed that Republicans were smart enough to spot the difference.

Good. Sadly it was fixed.
