Europe has a unicorn obsession, and frankly it needs to stop. 
The EU is pouring €43 billion through the CHIPS act into creating "European champions," but we're missing the bigger picture: why are we treating essential tech infrastructure as private property instead of public commons?
We need a different approach. One that serves public benefit over private extraction. Read my thoughts here: https://tarakiyee.com/the-hardware-innovation-monopoly-problem-why-europe-should-stop-chasing-unicorns/

Looking at schematics and #firmware of #Teufel #MYND waterproof portable speaker.
Very cool to check out their #OpenHardware design, though not much to see.
Everything of note runs through the WB-2835P #Bluetooth / Audio Module. It even acts as USB-Soundcard and digitizes Line-In, then outputs #I2S to the amplifier chips.

Ich hoffe dass macht Schule - und könnte ein europäisches Alleinstellungsmerkmal werden.
Mit dem Billigmist können wir als Produzenten eh nicht mithalten.
#Teufel hat mit #MYND Bluetooth-Lautsprecher als #OpenHardware herausgebracht. 
Mit Preisen ab 230€ relativ teuer aber dafür ein wirklich, wirklich interessantes und offenes Konzept mit allen notwendigen Daten zum Download: https://teufel.de/mynd-107002004#pdp-support

Hätte ich mir nicht letztes Jahr Bose #SoundLinkFlex gekauft, würde ich mit das mit Teufel sehr genau überlegen.
Bitte mehr offene Produkte wie sowas!

c't MagazinTeufel-Entwickler: "Es tut nicht weh, den Schaltplan zu veröffentlichen"Der Lautsprecherhersteller Teufel hat die Baupläne für einen Lautsprecher unter eine Open-Source-Lizenz gestellt. Wir sprechen über Motivation und Hindernisse.

@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."

@tarakiyee is "exploring how we might create sustainable economic models for open hardware infrastructure development that don’t rely on the extractive capitalism that has shaped our current tech landscape"
