Open Source Hardware?

by TG on Mar.04, 2004, under Ideas

This article, and others like it, really lead me to believe that one day soon, there are going to be more and more garage startups where people are going to start building ‘Open Source‘ hardware.

I mean, think about it. With hardware manufacturers building more and more restrictive hardware, what are people going to do about it? I’m sure as shit not going to upgrade my mobo’s bios to one that supports DRM. Not because I don’t believe in it (which I don’t), but because I don’t want my hardware dictating what I can and can’t do with music (or any digitial multimedia content for that matter) that I own.
