# Less Retarded Hardware

Less retarded hardware (LRH) is an extension of less retarded software (LRS) principles to hardware design. Such hardware has to be non-consumerist, designed to last and free (as in freedom) hardware completely from the lowest level, preferably completely public domain without any legal limitations, made with selfless goals, aiming to be good technology that helps all living beings without abusing them -- this implies the hardware has to be as simple as possible (KISS, suckless, ...) so as to maximize the number of people who can understand it, utilize it, improve it and repair it. An example of hardware coming close to this may potentially be e.g. Ronja.
