the thermocouple repair on my little evenheat kiln opened something in my brain. i already cared about right to repair but it made me imagine a structurally different and better relationship to technology

In response to this postsometimes it's hard to imagine what a better world would even look like; my kilns give me a glimpse of what that could be.
Dumb joke
@nora
Do they give you a warm feeling then?

@nora so what you're saying is the kiln market is absolutely ripe for disruption, for an app to control your kiln remotely, for a "smart kiln" that empowers users to subscribe to different heat settings and durations... a premium tier for bisque... a Raku box (presumably for streaming the firing process to other devices in your home)

my most recent glimpse came from working with 70s computer hardware at our computer museum. it's very serviceable, with full diagrams, docs and maintenance manuals available.
my hot take is that many or most aspects of today's computing are actually "agency friendly", but a couple of bad apples (pun not entirely unintended) are doing a lot of damage and governments are either not helping, or helping to make it worse.
