The world is full of abandoned computer hardware, so buying new hardware is not very recommendable. Therefore, we shouldn't be too picky with even the lousiest pieces of hardware but rather try to approach their problems as something to be fixed with hacking, reverse-engineering and activism.
-Possible problems with hardware:
+Possible problems preventing [[repair]], [[reuse]] and [[reprogramming]]:
-* Insufficient documentation (preventing repair, reuse and/or reprogramming)
-* Insufficient hacking/repair culture
-* Difficulty of [[repairing|Right to repair]]
+* Insufficient [[documentation]]
* Difficulty of component reuse (no [[Design for disassembly]])
* Unavailability of replacement components
-* High energy consumption (even when running idle)
-* High design complexity (often leading to a dependence on closed driver/firmware blobs, especially when combined with lack of documentation)
+* High energy consumption
+* High design complexity
* [[DRM]] locks preventing the running of third-party code
* [[Software]] issues from all the code that can't be replaced
+* Insufficient hacking/repair culture
Efforts to create new hardware components in biosphere-compatible and/or local ways may be worth supporting, although that goal is still very far away.
