If we had a few NGOs that were committed to freedom, were transparent and produced good hardware it would be a more reasonable option. Sure I can dream about the future where I can 3D print all electronics at home, but that computer wouldn't run very good and we all know this.

Anyone should be able to make functioning computers and it should be impossible to stop or even regulate it. > the future where I can 3D print all electronics at home, but that computer wouldn't run very good It would be better than nothing. They may have relatively low performance but they would still be computers that are guaranteed to be free and completely under our control. The fact they exist at all would provide significant protections against attempts at controlling us.
