@nixCraft and the same is true for #OpenHardware too: once I own it, I truly own it and can repair it myself rather than being tied to a service centre that is a sort of organically regulated sneak-subscription ⛓️

As a bonus, people who make open hardware tend to care about the product, so I'm more likely to get one that's designed to be long-lasting than one that'll become obsolete as soon as the company can come up with a newer reshash of the same product to thrust onto people ⏳

"I’m particularly interested in hearing from institutional designers interested in alternative models for tech financing, hardware developers who’ve struggled with the challenges of open hardware projects, manufacturers who are frustrated by proprietary tooling and licencing fees, policy researchers thinking about the regulatory and economic dimensions, and anyone who’s frustrated with the current state of proprietary hardware dominance."

This SPI Instrumentation Project has professional grade instrument designs for scientific experiments:
github.com/drmcnelson
They can be built for a fraction of the cost compared to similar professional equipment. A wonderful resource for anyone interested in #OpenHardware and #physics.
