The next time my friends complains about how messy my room is, I'll just tell them I sort my things in hash algorithm.

"Without the right to tinker and explore, we risk becoming enslaved by technology; and the more we exercise the right to hack, the harder it will be to take that right away" - Andre "Bunnie" Huang

Bunnie is a freaking genius! I wish I had his drive, knowledge and discipline! Keep up the good work and keep fighting the good fight, dude
-
It's good to have people like Bunnie and Sean working together on projects like Precursor to bring free and open source hardware/software in one package. I hope they win against DMCA and all people have the Right to Repair.

"Right To Repair" is a big battle... The "farmer" analogy was very apt. It's like making the old "Shadetree Mechanic" a criminal, and bust you for changing your spark plugs and air filter ( and, God forbid you change the plug gap)...

I was smiling all through out this film. I love the Bunnies and GeoHots of this world. We need a billion of them around.
-
Fantastic documentary. Thank you for making this, and sharing Bunnies story. The world needs more people like him.

It's been a while since we saw a real hero stand up and battle the beast without becoming a beast.

Good luck to you Bunnie - my childhood was similar, it's nice to know others shared my young experiences

I remember reading the essay called "The Cathedral vs The Bazaar". If you haven't read it, I recommend it. The differences between business models of Microsoft and Linux. Microsoft spends tons of money and time trying to find and fix bugs, while Linux/community finds them quickly and cheaply, making Linux a more stable system. And his work area is just like mine. It looks like a mess, but I know where everything is in the given space by closing my eyes.

we need more people like this

The humility. These are the kind of human-beings that give hope and push global development towards the right direction. Great documentary!!
-
Unbelievable. This man is an artist to be recon with.
-
Brilliant, thank you Bunnie & Sean!
-
brilliant doc, amazing stuff! Just a quick thought from a pentester who is also a composer: list the score and tracks used in the credits. It's free and takes a few extra seconds of run time but can make a huge difference in the lives of the musicians. As a pentester, THIS is why I do it. Bunnie has been such an amazing icon. I'm so glad he got the exposure he deserves because over the years the narrative was driven by the corporations. This was simply incredible!

This got recommended on my feed and wow I am glad I clicked on this, Bunnie is such a fascinating person.

I think and re-think that once you buy a product you're the owner, corporation loose their ownership on the product that I bought and own. Now what I cannot do is rebuild modify and sale the product. But as long as I'm the owner I could do what I feel like doing. I could also do Is sale my update finding or modification to the corporation.

Around this time people were also using a saved game file from 007 Agent Under Fire to create a buffer overflow that allowed you to load other operating systems. I still have an original XBOX running Linux and a ton of emulators.
