* Production of new computing hardware consumes a lot of energy and resources. Therefore, we need to **[[maximize the lifespans|lifespan maximization]]** of hardware components – especially microchips, because of their low material recyclability. Repair what can be repaired, create new devices from old components.
* **Accept what already exists**. Appreciate even bad hardware (but also notice its energy consumption). Respect the quirks and peculiarities of each chip and design (this is particularly relevant for [[art]]). Support **[[time-sharing]]** in your local community in order to avoid buying new stuff.

* **Low complexity is beautiful**. This is also relevant to e.g. visual media where "high quality" is often thought to stem from high resolutions and large bitrates.
* **Human-sized computing**: a reasonable level of complexity for a computing system is that it can be entirely understood by a single person (from the low-level hardware details to the application-level quirks).
* **Abundance thinking**. If the computing capacity feels too limited for anything, you can rethink it it from the point of view of abundance (e.g. by taking yourself fifty years back in time): tens of kilobytes of memory, thousands of operations per second – think about all the possibilities!
