Open source hardware Open source hardware consists of physical artifacts of technology designed and offered by the open design movement. Both free and open source software (FOSS) as well as open source hardware is created by this open source culture movement and applies a like concept to a variety of components. The term usually means that information about the hardware is easily discerned. Hardware design (i.e. mechanical drawings, schematics, bills of material, PCB layout data, HDL source code and integrated circuit layout data), in addition to the software that drives the hardware, are all released with the FOSS approach. Since the rise of reconfigurable programmable logic devices, sharing of logic designs has been a form of open source hardware. Licenses[edit] The RepRap general-purpose 3D printer with the ability to make copies of most of its own structural parts Rather than creating a new license, some open source hardware projects simply use existing, free and open source software licenses.[1]

Paradise Desk finansieras på Kickstarter – datorskrivbord utan kabelhärvor - Kringutrustning Sedan urminnes tider har datoranvändare kämpat mot kabelhärvor. Många försöker snygga till datorhörnan med kabelkanaler och buntband, men det finns betydligt elegantare lösningar. En av dessa är att utnyttja skrivbordet. The Paradise desk is the first desk designed completely for computer enthusiasts and gamers who want a premium desk. Till skillnad från exempelvis Red Harbinger är Paradise Desk inget chassiskrivbord. Själva skrivbordet är en rejäl stålkonstruktion på 157,5 x 71,0 x 77,5 cm, där höjden är justerbar. Paradise Desk har redan redan samlat in närmare 100 000 dollar, betydligt mer än efterfrågade 30 000 dollar. Den som vill ha ett Paradise Desk behöver ställa upp med 349 dollar eller mer, motsvarande cirka 2 300 kronor.

The MacBook Air Samsung SSD is about to get twice as fast I had a chance to meet with Samsung Storage solutions at CES 2012 this week and got the low down on its new OEM SSDs that Apple tends to buy in large numbers. Samsung and Toshiba are the OEMs that provide the SSDs in MacBook Airs. Samsung’s 470 OEM SSD product is noticeably faster than the Toshiba model that Apple also puts in otherwise identical MacBook Airs. Well, the speed difference is about to get even more noticeable. How fast is the 830 Series controller/chips? Samsung stopped short of announcing it is shipping the 830s to Apple, but the company confirmed it ran out of 470s a while ago and all of its SSD customers were receiving the updated 830 series. Today I ventured to the Las Vegas Apple Store to check the speeds of the MacBook Airs. Theoretically, a few things could happen at this point… I do not know Apple’s supply chain lead-time and Samsung would not even pretend to hint anything about its relationship with Apple.
Anthro Ordinal Dresser {Knock Off Style} - East Coast Creative Blog Anthro Ordinal Dresser Knock Off So, I have to be honest… When Jess and I told my hubs that we were taking his “Toolbox Dresser” he wasn’t thrilled (it’s been holding his tools in our garage for 5 yrs) and he might have been a tad skeptical that we could turn it into Anthro’s Dresser. We’re a wee bit competitive, so he gave us just the challenge we needed. Step 1: Sanding There were many layers of paint to remove. Each drawer needed to be sanded and then all of the framework for the dresser. We used an orbital sander and a little mouse sander as well. Step 2: Template & Cut We just free-handed a template of the little shape that we needed to cut on each drawer. Sometimes we’re a little intimidated by power tools, but the more we use them, the easier it gets. Step 3: Create a Faux Metal Finish While I was busy doing a jig (AKA jigsawing), Jess used a few spray paints to get the faux metal finish we were going for. And we liked the results much better. Step 4: Fill the Holes Step 6: Poly Time
