State of Hardware is a weekly newsletter that evaluates hardware’s impact on our society through the lenses of privacy, sovereignty, and freedom.

Instead of talking about camera performance and screen quality, we look at the big picture. Do Apple devices really give users privacy? How is innovation being restricted in today’s mobile phone duopoly? What are the privacy implications of Amazon’s new palm scanners?

I hope this newsletter pushes you to reflect on the state of our hardware. I hope it inspires society to abandon our current Orwellian path and instead embrace privacy, sovereignty, and freedom through open hardware.
