Explore the concept of living without Silicon Valley in this 44-minute conference talk from Notacon 9. Delve into the speaker's journey from growing up hacking to working in hardware, and examine the challenges and possibilities of reinventing technology outside the traditional tech hub. Investigate intellectual property concerns, including genetic codes, trade secrets, and nondisclosure agreements. Analyze open-source hardware, barriers to entry, and the logistics of creating commercial products. Examine real-life hardware examples such as Arduino, VRSX86, and GCC, while discussing chipsets, BIOS, Linux, and registers. Consider the complexities of manufacturing, backward compatibility, and ASIC development in the context of creating fresh hardware solutions independent of Silicon Valley's influence.
