Looking at OpenWRT, good Lord I still want this for routers.

For printers would be nice too though. I’m honestly surprised we can’t just build kit printers the same way we can build 3D printers, I mean, could we?

Using something like Klipper but more kinda like CUPS?

Get toner or ink in generic containers that attach to print heads? I dunno it doesn’t seem far fetched.

I’m honestly done caring that “the normies won’t want it because everything that isn’t a smartphone with a one-button app scares them.”

What will start as “enthusiast printer kits” should force openness on the printer industry at large.
