The next time my friends complains about how messy my room is, I'll just tell them I sort my things in hash algorithm.

"Without the right to tinker and explore, we risk becoming enslaved by technology; and the more we exercise the right to hack, the harder it will be to take that right away" - Andre "Bunnie" Huang

Bunnie is a freaking genius! I wish I had his drive, knowledge and discipline! Keep up the good work and keep fighting the good fight, dude

It's good to have people like Bunnie and Sean working together on projects like Precursor to bring free and open source hardware/software in one package. I hope they win against DMCA and all people have the Right to Repair.

Good luck to you Bunnie - my childhood was similar, it's nice to know others shared my young experiences
-
Fantastic documentary. Thank you for making this, and sharing Bunnies story. The world needs more people like him.

I was smiling all through out this film. I love the Bunnies and GeoHots of this world. We need a billion of them around.

"Right To Repair" is a big battle... The "farmer" analogy was very apt. It's like making the old "Shadetree Mechanic" a criminal, and bust you for changing your spark plugs and air filter ( and, God forbid you change the plug gap)...

It's been a while since we saw a real hero stand up and battle the beast without becoming a beast.

brilliant doc, amazing stuff! Just a quick thought from a pentester who is also a composer: list the score and tracks used in the credits. It's free and takes a few extra seconds of run time but can make a huge difference in the lives of the musicians. As a pentester, THIS is why I do it. Bunnie has been such an amazing icon. I'm so glad he got the exposure he deserves because over the years the narrative was driven by the corporations. This was simply incredible!

I remember reading the essay called "The Cathedral vs The Bazaar". If you haven't read it, I recommend it. The differences between business models of Microsoft and Linux. Microsoft spends tons of money and time trying to find and fix bugs, while Linux/community finds them quickly and cheaply, making Linux a more stable system. And his work area is just like mine. It looks like a mess, but I know where everything is in the given space by closing my eyes.

Around this time people were also using a saved game file from 007 Agent Under Fire to create a buffer overflow that allowed you to load other operating systems. I still have an original XBOX running Linux and a ton of emulators.

we need more people like this

The humility. These are the kind of human-beings that give hope and push global development towards the right direction. Great documentary!!

I think and re-think that once you buy a product you're the owner, corporation loose their ownership on the product that I bought and own. Now what I cannot do is rebuild modify and sale the product. But as long as I'm the owner I could do what I feel like doing. I could also do Is sale my update finding or modification to the corporation.

Brilliant, thank you Bunnie & Sean!
-
Unbelievable. This man is an artist to be recon with.

👍🏆🏅🎖️ People like Bunnie and those along the lines of Richard Stallman among others deserve More Recognition for their work. Technology is A Great Leveler! Thanks for Empowering Ordinary People and Improving Their Access to Tech.

..I dismantled a kiddy wrist watch when I was in primary school...can you believe it depends on a piece of rock crystals to tell accurate time...its amazing tech...

Great documentary. I have thought for a while that it is important for many individuals to understand how things work from the ground up such as computers. If we only learn the top level technology, then AI could take over the lower-level stuff as humans become more and more disconnected from it. Imagine if something like the Arm core was replaced by something designed by an AI that no human could hope to understand in a reasonable time and there was no readable documentation for it or Dev. tools for human use since those things could be viewed as pointless to make.
