referencing prior art is good btw, unfortunately our competitors don't do it :D

editing mnt reform next handbook section that states > The main case has a prominent grid of 20x20mm spaced M2 threads (inspired by Bunnie Studios' open-source hardware Novena computer from 2014), which allows for flexible customization of the laptop through small modules called *Tiles*.

@mntmn Novena was also referencing prior art! @bunnie used a Peek Array, designed by Nadya Peek.

Excerpt from an ieee article with an open laptop.

Standard-issue laptops lack this trick for making the hardware more hackable. PHOTO: SCOTT TORBORG/CROWD SUPPLY

@liaizon @th @mntmn Lots of interesting research projects from Nadya Peek over the years. I remember reading about her research projects in the past, via a few friends who had known her at MIT.

“Her work focuses on unconventional digital fabrication tools, small scale automation, networked control systems, and advanced manufacturing.”

OSHWA (Open Source Hardware Association) also has a Board Member profile page for her. oshwa.org/team/nadya-peek/
