Re: [Trisquel-users] How much x86 power are we excluded from?

The idea behind open hardware is that if there are problems with the hardware  
these can be solved by the community. Examples of this include hardware fixes  
to the Neo Freerunner, such as a microphone fix to lessen noise ("Buzz Fix")  
and a fix to enable sleep mode of the GSM which extends battery life.  
Manufacturers of hardware obviously prefer that people buy new hardware  
instead of extending the capabilities of their existing hardware.
