hi folks, ok - does anyone know of any companies that sell Libre or FSF-Endorseable hardware? i have thinkpenguin, laclinux, hardware-libre.fr and inatux.com on the list already, i am looking to contact companies that would like to help sponsor these projects, it is very close so i would like to keep going full-time on them now. also, can i ask people a huge favour: would people be willing to write some testimonials in support of the work that i am doing, so that they can be published on the rhombus-tech.net web site, as that would help enormously. many many thanks, l.

User Replaceable Sockets?
by Alexander Stephen Thomas Ross 01 Apr '15

i was wondering about how things like usb sockets and audio and power barrow jacks could be replaced by users or if not then at least not so hard to replace? as they do seam to get knackered due to accidents that happen (partly due to risky living but even then mistakes can and do happen -it only takes one hard tug of a cable to damage the socket.-). would it be possible for rhombus-tech products to have a feature like this sooner than later? or to do it really nicely does it need more ££££ to pay for fancy plastic to click n' replace and therefore with the challenge of just getting products out there and waiting and seeing how things go with the first products it's a feature that if it's going to be implemented, it's one that would be put off for future products? btw you can get magnet usb plug cables: http://www.conrad.de/ce/de/product/1008652/magneticUSB-20-Kabel-USB-20-Micr…
