Sheltering Dystopia's Inhabitants
We design transparently functioning, visually inspectable minicomputers for personal, organizational, and critical infrastructure use.
We design solder-defined computers that are visually inspectable and function transparently from the logic gate level up.
We design and broadcast radically open computer architectures as a global public benefit.
Our computers do not rely for trustworthiness on foreign countries or semiconductor companies, regardless of where located. Instead, it's the system owners' own soldering and firmware that determine their computers' logical connectivity and operation.
Dauug Hardware Is Different
Traditional computers are built as inexpensively as practical using a handful of immensely complex chips. This approach is great for optimizing performance, size, cost, and energy use, but its security consequences are catastrophic. America's adversaries have infested her computers for 40 years continuously, yet few people even realize that chip complexity is a leading enabler.
Dauug computers are built using a larger number of extremely simple chips. They are useful in many applications where performance, size, cost, and energy use are still important, but much less critical than absolute security and accountability.
The Dauug House Is Different
Most companies that design computers (or chips they want people to build computers from) show scant interest in end users. They only want something that they can sell. And if they sell a product that turns out to be insecure, that's more lucrative, because they can coerce users into buying newer models.
At The Dauug House, we sell nothing. We design computers that anyone can build, computers that contain no dangerous silicon-borne complex logic such as microprocessors. Our computers are intended to easily last 30 years without needing any "security updates," or any dependence on us at all. Then we give away all of our designs, to everyone, free of charge.
