If your opensource hardware costs the same or more than an apple product i dont want it. it just reeks of tech bro liberalism tbh
@rosie im aware that things cost more at small scale, and when you dont use slave labor. I just am unconvinced that a 1,200 euro price tag isnt price gouging to make profits. Its a problem of capitalist open-source vs anti-capitalist open-source in my mind
You can also always compare their bill of materials to what it would cost you to make it yourself
For example, the MNT Reform may be 1,200 euro, but it also has a milled aluminum chassis, a mech keyboard, and a custom-designed mainboard, along with being hand-assembled
None of those are cheap
