45Drives hasn't sent me any hardware. I still think they're neat.

Let's talk about 45Drives, why I like their open source Cockpit modules, as well as their tutorials and documentation about open source projects.

I think it's rare to have a corporation care this much about open source. From my outsider view as someone who has never been sent anything from 45Drives, I think it's refreshing. And I want to talk about it!

This video was not sponsored, 45Drives has not only (to date) not sent me any hardware, but we've had no business dealings at all: no money changing hands, no free trips to see their factory, nothing like that. Again, this is as of filming: can't predict the future! 😃
