2016-07-28 Indie Manufacturing Links
A collection of things that we've encountered over the past week that we think might be of interest...
- A simple test to see if it's Open Source – MeArm Robotics An excellent rule-of-thumb to apply when looking at projects, platforms, products... which are shouting loudly about "open" to gain attention.
- The L.E.D. Quandary: Why There’s No Such Thing as “Built to Last” - The New Yorker “What drives the throwaway culture? Well, often people want to have the newest and the latest,” he said. “But there are people who want to have the oldest and the best.” Not completely essential for Indie Manufacturing, but a good target to be trying to nudge the world round towards.
