@dgr @fsf Also you don't really need to order the PCBs from china i am in czechia and i have lot of options to make the PCBs locally either in hacker/makerspace where there are the tools needed to make multi-layer PCBs or through hiring a professional company like zebrapcb that makes them in house for me in general the TERES-1 boards are 8 layer PCBs that cost 180~250 EUR per 5.

OLIMEX is making the pcbs in bulgaria where they get better fabrication cost (due to their automotive industry) compared to china and similar cases across the EU.

@dgr @fsf Last time i checked the schematics are released under a restrictive license so if you are developing OSHW hardware like me then you can't really look at them e.g. i have RockPro64 that broke few weeks after i got it under minimal use (i basically just tested NixOS on it for collectively ~20min runtime) and i have to pay a local repairer instead of using schematics to fix it myself.

And even that schematics will tell you where to put a jumper wire so that you can have your very own spaghetti monster inside the system which is not really sustainable it's more like hotfixing to see if the configuration works to then make proper PCB, bcs it won't allow you to change the pcb itself e.g. using the OLIMEX's teres-1 i can just open KiCAD i currently work on adding:
* RFID reader
* Fingerprint sensor
* changing the case to be 3D printable and rugged
* hot-swappable batteries
* changing the PCB material from FR4 to aluminium so that i can later manufacture them myself in investment silver base
* Eventually use the IMX8QM-TUKHLA instead of A64 so that it can have an NVME drive and performance better than pinebook pro
* etc..

when company gives you these files it also enables you to go further e.g. i am using the KICAD files from TERES-1 and OLinuXino A64 to re-engineer the electronics of Xiaomi Scooter to run nongnu guix and develop drones.

Not to mention that you can actually verify how the PCBs are wired e.g. librem is shipping the systems with hardware vulnerabilities (SPECTRE + meltdown) and backdoors (proprietary router running proprietary firmware with evident wired access to kernel's ring-0).

@dgr @fsf i am unhappy that i can't modify the hardware to fit my computing or when it breaks to just open KiCAD and know exactly why e.g. like with OLIMEX (https://github.com/OLIMEX).

Librem made their investment back multiple times already [https://git.dotya.ml/kreyren/kreyren/issues/13]

Saying that librem respects your ownership is insanity, because they really don't

@TOrynski Aged like a fine egg

@fsf Respect Your Freedom is bullshit that actively sabotages Open-Source Hardware development through endorsement of proprietary developers like librem who refuse to release the relevant hardware files despite their CEO promising to do so years ago[https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/community-wiki/-/wikis/Frequently-Asked-Questions#19-is-the-librem-5-freeopen-hardware]

Stick to software and hug off from hardware you are not qualified to make any kind of polities there

@AnnaMariaCB Your face makes me think that you are going to strangle me if i don't favor the post so i did

@expertmanofficial@mstdn.social The security researcher who discovered it is Paul Moore (https://twitter.com/paul_reviews).

I referenced seytonic's video which mentions linus from LTT, bcs it has an explanation that should be understandable by non-tech people.

A chinese-based company #eufy (subsidiary of #anker) has been caught mishandling user privacy and not complying with GDPR[1.2] in the EU[1][2][3][4] including using a facial recognition software to build up a database of european citizens for tracking across services[1.1] and who's products are still on the market[5] and used by many european citizens[6].

@guyverhofstadt @marcel_kolaja @EDPS_supervisor Please consider taking appropriate action to stop this violation of privacy and security in the EU.

@barefootstache bcs when i see letters i am looking for variables or shothands instead of numbers which seems to be similar for other ppl as well..
