@webmink I'm not sure if actual staff from @FSF or the Conservancy are in the !Fediverse, but many people have joined the !FS !FreeSoftware, !OpenHardware, !FreeCulture and similar groups. Sadly, I don't think Mastodon supports groups yet, so you may need to join an actual GNUsocial or PostActiv instance. http://sn.jonkman.ca/group/fs http://sn.jonkman.ca/group/openhardware http://s.russwurm.org/group/freeculture

Sadly, tying medical equipment to non-free software is all too common. You're right, it's a huge privacy violation, and the End-User-Licence-Agreement allowing them to insert ads in your readouts just makes it worse. Do they make you sign up for an Outlook or Facebook account to keep up-to-date? I hope not. We need more !OpenHardware that runs !FreeSoftware.

1. The Cardboard Computer
  
  Attempt to build a computer using cardboard and brass paper fasteners as the base material for all of the logic circuits. Why? Well, the cardboard is free as my workplace puts it in the dumpster and I do not have the funds to by better material. All of the electronic parts thus far were given to me by a friend who passed away and what better tribute than to build a computer. Except for the ALU all gates are either Nand or Nor using DTL. The transistors used are npn 2n2222 type or pnp 2n3906 as I started having a large stock but now facing the need to buy a lot more for this build to continue. Very large construction is employed as to aid in my learning about logic circuits and also to make it easier to make changes as I find out what does not work. Each gate measures about 0.5 X 1.75 inches on cardboard cutouts. RISC will be required as this is a 4-bit system and the clock speed will be very slow at about 3Hz. The main bus is 8-bits ( 4 for data and 4 for address ).

I expect that in the SWL community there will be !OpenHardware hackers who can recommend a device with modifyable firmware. For any device that runs on software it will be cheaper to have flashable firmware, since the manufacturer won't ever be stuck with millions of chips permanently coded with flawed code.

As the administrator of the group, you'd think that I'd know it was !OpenHardware, not !FreeHardware

Today is my lucky day! Bricked a router just resetting its NVRAM, infinite flashes on the power LED. Read that it might just be a bad power brick. Had a slightly heftier brick from an ATA I wasn't using (same voltage, more current); still a flashing power LED. Start reading about JTAG and building my own cable; glance over at the router, and the LEDs are solid on! I can haz WebUI again! !openhardware

!OpenHardware may not be sufficient. Maybe the microcode which loads the new firmware on the drive controller has been compromised, altering the firmware as it's being loaded... "Reflections on Trusting Trust" by Ken Thomson is required reading: http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/ken/trust.html
