Liberated Embedded Systems

Who am I?

I am an individual concerned with the current anti-consumer and anti-freedom nature of current embedded systems companies. These companies do not:

produce products with freedom (including repairability) in mind
make replacement parts for their products freely available

This is an issue of ownership, you do not own what you buy, nor can you service it.

What do I do differently?

I will produce embedded systems, with schematics being made freely available for access by my customers or parties with a reasonable interest in repairing them. I will also design these embedded systems with users’ freedoms, including right to repair, in mind. This is through making repair easier, especially at the board level, since I will make our schematics freely available to my customers.

I will also produce stylish shirts and other merchandise highlighting issues I perceive within the technology field, which will not only serve as fashionable clothing, but will also help stimulate conversation about these topics.

What are embedded systems?

Chances are, you’re using an embedded system right now without realising it. Embedded systems are a type of computer system designed to perform a particular function. These include:

smartphones
smartwatches
radios
USB devices
MP3 players

And many more.

What do I offer?

I have just released the openCom XL, a modern off-grid communications device designed for use with Reticulum. I am also currently selling stylish shirts on my store promoting right to repair and other issues in technology.
