Oxide is a fully closed ecosystem. The product seems cool but it sucks from an open computing perspective.

The “iPhone” of the data center.

What would you like to see open that isn't? The major thing I can think of is not opening up like, our CAD files for the hardware. But that's pretty far away from your characterization.

It's open source (that effectively requires the rack as a dongle) but not flexible or modular in any way. There's not even a single PCIe slot AFAIK.

I see. I wouldn't describe that as "fully closed" but I appreciate the perspective!
