I don't care as much about open source hardware as open interfaces or drivers.

I hate that every single thing you buy requires an app and a login and a shitty proprietary driver.

(why does my mouse need a cloud account?)

In general hardware folks don't do software well. Software is just a checkbox.

Meanwhile there's a world of great folks out there that will make their hardware get up and dance given the chance.

Honestly they should commoditize software to increase sales of their hardware.
