# Less Retarded Hardware
2023-08-02 21:23:31 +02:00
Less retarded hardware (LRH) is an extension of [less retarded software](lrs.md) (LRS) principles to [hardware](hardware.md) design. Such hardware has to be non-consumerist, designed [to last](future_proof.md) and [free (as in freedom) hardware](free_hardware.md) completely from the lowest level, preferably completely [public domain](public_domain.md) without any legal limitations, made with [selfless](selflessness.md) goals, aiming to be good [technology](technology.md) that helps all living beings without abusing them -- this implies the hardware has to be as simple as possible ([KISS](kiss.md), [suckless](suckless.md), ...) so as to maximize the number of people who can understand it, utilize it, improve it and repair it. An example of hardware coming close to this may potentially be e.g. [Ronja](ronja.md).
