@youyoubilly Hey Billy,

I really love your uConsole KVM extension board! I have a (maybe silly) question: I found the Openterface KVM Extension for uConsole listed on Elecrow, but there isn't an option to purchase it right now. Is it currently unavailable? Will it be available in the Elecrow shop soon?

By the way, when searching for posts on Mastodon, hashtags are super important:
#uConsole #KVMExtensionBoard #Openterface #KVM #OpenterfaceKVM #OpenHardware

Tomorrow I kick-off a challenging and exciting project: my first course for legal aspects related to #OpenHardware (OSH )at University of Halle Wittenberg.

Together with my great colleague Martin Häuer, who has a lot of experience with OSH communities, we will go over these topics:

- Licenses for hardware, software and data
- Patent law and OSH
- Protection of semiconductors (RISC-V case study)
- Liability and OSH
- Interoperability regulation
- OSH and administrative law
- AI and generative OSH design
