Privacy is urgency. The free exchange of information as we know it may be coming to an end. We must act fast.
We are building technology that makes privacy simple, cheap, and accessible for all.
All future products will ship with full schematics, open firmware, and complete build docs. No secrets. No vendor lock-in. Build it yourself.
Access to unbiased information is a right. In 20 years this drive might be someone's only connection to the truth of today. Preserve history.
We charge 1/3 the price of our closest competitor. All profits go directly into building projects with our community that further innovations in tech privacy.
Privacy requires ownership. We build devices anyone with zero knowledge can pick up and use immediately.
Private hardware. Private networks. We're building infrastructure for a world that doesn't need permission.
Every contribution makes privacy more accessible. Join us. By the people. For the people.
We're just getting started.

"We build technology to preserve freedom, reclaim personal privacy, and secure our rights for the future."
Our mission is to provide universal access to fully private, decentralized technology. In an era where total digital privacy is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain, we believe that securing your data today is vital — as it may be impossible tomorrow.
Privacy is a matter of urgency.
Communicating on encrypted networks and browsing without surveillance currently presents a significant technical barrier for the average person. We are building this movement to dismantle that barrier.
Our objective is to simplify complex privacy technology, allowing anyone — regardless of technical background — to exercise their right to a private life. True privacy requires full ownership of your technology. To that end, we develop hardware rooted in open-source principles, ensuring that our tools are transparent, verifiable, and easy to use.
Our flagship product is an offline, uncensored, and untraceable AI assistant contained entirely within a portable flash drive. A complete plug-and-play solution bootable on both Mac and Windows with a single click — no installation, no internet connection.
Built on a 32GB SanDisk® Flash Drive, it runs an uncensored version of the Qwen3 model via llama.cpp. The device operates with zero logs and leaves absolutely no digital footprint.
Beyond utility, facts. serves as a preservation tool. As global privacy standards erode and information becomes increasingly curated, access to unbiased models is at risk.
We view this device as a digital time capsule — designed to ensure that uncensored history and vital information remain accessible, regardless of future restrictions.
OSE isn't a corporation. There's no boardroom, no investors, no quarterly targets. We're a small crew of builders, hackers, and privacy advocates who got tired of watching the digital world close in on itself. Every drive is hand-built, every customer gets a real person when something goes wrong, and every decision is made by the people who actually use the product.
We reject the idea that technology should be a black box. If you buy something from us, you should be able to take it apart, understand how it works, rebuild it, improve it, or throw it away and start from scratch. That's not a marketing angle — it's the entire point.
The moment you need permission to use the thing you paid for, it was never yours.
The flash drive is chapter one. We're working on privacy hardware, self-hosted infrastructure, and tools that let regular people take back control of their digital lives without needing a CS degree.
If you want to know what's coming, follow the project — or better yet, tell us what you need. We're listening.
We offer these devices at a fraction of the market rate to fund future development. Consistent with our values, we provide full transparency: every component and line of code is open source. You are free to build it yourself at no cost.
Join our growing community to help improve this technology. Together, we can decentralize the exchange of information and secure privacy for everyone.
We mean it when we say open source. Here's every component that goes into the drive — download it, build it, modify it, make it yours.
Load a GGUF model onto any flash drive, drop in a launcher, and you're up. Our LLM Engineer on this site can walk you through it if you need a hand.
We're building a network of people who believe privacy is a right, not a privilege. Whether you bought a drive or built your own, you're part of this.

Everything you need to know about facts.
facts. is a self-contained AI assistant that lives entirely on a USB flash drive. Plug it into any Mac or Windows computer, double-click one file, and you're chatting with a fully functional AI — no internet, no installation, no accounts, and no trace left on the machine when you're done.
It runs Qwen 3 (Abliterated), a 4-billion parameter language model with its content restrictions removed, powered by the open-source llama.cpp inference engine. Everything runs locally from the drive and your computer's RAM.
Anything you'd use a conversational AI for — writing, coding, research, brainstorming, analysis, creative projects, learning — except it runs completely offline and privately. No one can see your prompts or responses. There are no content filters deciding what you're allowed to ask.
Some popular use cases: writing code without uploading proprietary work to the cloud, researching sensitive topics without creating a search history, drafting documents on air-gapped machines, and having a portable AI assistant that works anywhere — planes, remote locations, networks you don't trust.
Three fundamental differences. Privacy: ChatGPT sends every message to OpenAI's servers. facts. never connects to the internet — your conversations exist only in RAM and are destroyed when you close the session. Censorship: ChatGPT has extensive content filters. facts. uses an abliterated model — it answers directly without moralizing or refusing. Ownership: ChatGPT is a subscription service that can change terms, raise prices, or shut down. facts. is a physical device you own forever. One payment, lifetime use.
Abliteration is a fine-tuning technique that removes the refusal mechanisms baked into most AI models. Standard models are trained to decline certain prompts — even harmless or academic ones. Abliterated models answer questions directly, objectively, and without adding moral disclaimers. The Qwen 3 model on your drive has been abliterated to maximize utility and eliminate unnecessary gatekeeping.
Three steps. Step 1: Plug the drive into any Mac, Windows, or Linux computer. Step 2: Open the drive and double-click MacLaunch.command (Mac), WindowsLaunch.bat (Windows), or run LinuxLaunch.sh (Linux). Step 3: A terminal window opens with AI ready to chat. Type your question and press Enter. That's it. No installation, no configuration, no accounts.
When you're done, press Ctrl+C or type /bye to exit. Unplug the drive. Zero trace remains on the host machine.
Mac: Apple Silicon (M1 or later) with macOS. Minimum 8GB RAM — the launcher auto-detects your hardware and loads the appropriate model. 16GB+ RAM loads the high-resolution Q8 model for best quality. Under 16GB loads the efficient Q4 model.
Windows: Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) with at least 8GB RAM. The launcher auto-detects your hardware and selects the best model. GPU acceleration is automatic on supported systems — no drivers or setup needed.
Linux: Any modern 64-bit distro (Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, Debian, Mint, etc.). 8GB+ RAM. NVIDIA GPU acceleration supported if drivers are installed.
USB 3.0 port recommended (USB-C with data adapter also works). No internet connection is ever required — not during setup, not during use, not ever.
Yes, this is completely normal. Windows Defender flags the AI engine as an "unknown publisher" because it's an open-source binary that isn't signed with a Microsoft certificate. This happens with many open-source tools.
To proceed: click "More Info" on the blue warning screen, then click "Run Anyway." This only happens once — Windows remembers your choice for future launches. llama.cpp is a widely-used, MIT-licensed open-source project trusted by millions of developers worldwide.
Linux: Yes! facts. now ships with a LinuxLaunch.sh script that works on any modern 64-bit Linux distro — Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, Debian, Mint, Pop!_OS, you name it. Just plug in, open the script, and go. NVIDIA GPU acceleration is supported if you have drivers installed; otherwise it runs on CPU.
Chromebook: Not supported at this time. Most Chromebooks don't have enough RAM or the right architecture to run local AI models.
RAM is everything. The AI loads a full language model into your computer's memory — the more RAM available, the smarter and faster it runs. Windows alone idles at 6-11GB depending on your setup. Add a browser and you're eating into the AI's breathing room.
If the AI seems dumber than expected: close your browser and any other heavy apps before launching. You want at least 4GB of free RAM when the drive boots. The launcher shows your available RAM on startup — if it's tight, close some apps and relaunch.
16GB+ RAM with other apps closed = best experience. 8GB = works, but close everything first. Under 8GB = won't run.
Still having trouble? Click the wrench icon in the bottom-right corner — our LLM Engineer can diagnose your exact setup and write you a custom fix on the spot.
Every time you launch facts., the script executes what we call a "Nuclear" wipe protocol. Before the AI even boots, it force-deletes all previous session files: .llama_history, llama.chat.history, and main.session — from both the drive and the host machine. When you exit, no conversation logs, no cache files, and no session data remain anywhere.
The AI model runs in your computer's RAM. When you close the terminal, that RAM is released. There is no persistent storage of your conversations, period.
Never. The inference engine (llama.cpp) runs 100% locally. There are no API calls, no telemetry, no update checks, no analytics, no phone-home mechanisms of any kind. The drive is air-gapped by design. You can verify this yourself by running it with your WiFi off or monitoring network traffic with a tool like Wireshark — you'll see exactly zero outbound connections.
Every facts. drive ships inside a signal-blocking Faraday bag. This is an electromagnetic shield that prevents any wireless signals from reaching or leaving the drive during transit. It's an extra layer of physical security — ensuring the drive is sealed from the moment it leaves our hands to the moment it reaches yours. Once you have the drive, you can use the bag for storage or for any device you want to shield from wireless signals.
We source manufacturer-recertified SanDisk® drives. These are unused units that were repackaged to meet compliance regulations — they've never stored a single file before ours. We open each drive to hand-install the complete AI software suite, test it, and verify it works before shipping.
Think of "refurbished" as a supply chain label, not a quality indicator. The drives are in excellent condition with zero prior use. We chose this sourcing model to keep the price at $29.99 — roughly one-third of what competitors charge for similar products.
30-day replacement guarantee from OSE. If your drive arrives defective or stops working within 30 days, we replace it — no questions asked. All support is handled directly by our team. Contact us and we'll sort it out.
Please note: SanDisk® does not provide support or warranty for our software bundle. All warranty and support inquiries should be directed to OSE.
Yes, all the way down. The inference engine (llama.cpp) is MIT-licensed. The AI model (Qwen 3) uses a permissive open-source license. Every license is included on the drive. Every component is verifiable. We also publish the full parts list and build process — you can build one yourself at home for free if you have the technical knowledge.
Our launch scripts, troubleshooting guides, and update files are all public on GitHub: github.com/WEAREOSE/facts
We charge $29.99 for the convenience of a pre-loaded, tested, ready-to-run device with everything configured. You're paying for our time, testing, and packaging — not for the software.
Absolutely. That's the point. You'll need: a USB flash drive (32GB minimum), the llama.cpp binary for your OS, a GGUF-format model file (we use Qwen 3 4B Abliterated), and our launch scripts. Everything we ship on our drives — launchers, guides, fix files — is public on our GitHub: github.com/WEAREOSE/facts. If you want to skip the setup and just have a working drive in your hand tomorrow, that's what the $29.99 is for.
All updates, fixes, and the latest launch scripts are published on our GitHub: github.com/WEAREOSE/facts
If you're having trouble with your drive, check the Releases page for drop-in fix files, or message our support team and we'll point you to the right one.
We ship from the United States. Standard shipping typically takes 3-7 business days domestically. International shipping times vary by destination. Every order is individually assembled, tested, and packaged by our team before it ships.
We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover), Apple Pay, Google Pay, ACH/Wire transfers, cryptocurrency, Klarna, and Afterpay — all processed securely through Stripe.
If your drive arrives defective, we'll replace it within 30 days. Because each drive is individually loaded with software and personally tested, we handle refund requests on a case-by-case basis. Contact our support team and we'll work something out — we're real people, not a corporate helpdesk.

Complete cost-of-goods, margin, and scale-trigger analysis. All units sold direct via opensourceeverything.io + Stripe. No third-party marketplaces.
Exact cost per unit, pulled line-by-line from the product item list. eBay is a supply source (where we buy drives), not a sales channel.
| Component | Source | Cost (PPI) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 64GB SanDisk® Flash Drive | eBay — Supply Line 4 | $3.1993 | Sourced as Mfg. Refurb — we load software, sell direct on our site |
| Faraday Bag | Alibaba Line 9 | $2.40 | Carbon fiber anti-hacking signal-blocking pouch |
| Thermal Label / Sticker | Amazon Line 16 | $0.02 | Brand sticker via thermal printer |
| Packaging (Bubble Mailer) | Amazon Line 22 | $0.51 | Ethical rate — cheap option at $0.20 |
| Shipping (Estimated) | TBD Line 26 | $1.03 | ⚠ Not yet confirmed — estimate only |
| Pamphlet / Insert Card | TBD | TBD | Transparency card recommended |
| Total (Ethical Packaging) | $7.1593 | Per PRODUCT_ITEM_LIST.txt line 33 | |
| Total (Cheap Packaging) | $6.8793 | Swap to $0.20 bubble mailer |
The brief quotes BOM of $5.62 (drive + bag + sticker only). The actual source of truth includes packaging ($0.51) and shipping ($1.03), bringing real all-in landed cost to $7.16/unit. All margin calculations below use $7.16. Additionally, shipping at $1.03 is still estimated and unverified — this gap needs closing before launch.
At $29.99 direct-to-consumer via Stripe, the math changes dramatically.
At $29.99 direct via Stripe, you break even at just 66 units — 13% of the 500-unit target. Every unit after #66 is pure reinvestment capital. Stripe takes ~2.9% + $0.30 per transaction ($1.17/unit), which brings effective margin to ~$21.66/unit. Still massive. Go ethical packaging — brand integrity is worth more than $155 over 500 units.
Copy for the product page, customer emails, and the physical insert card. Answers the #1 question: "Why is the drive refurbished?"
We source high-quality, manufacturer-recertified SanDisk® drives and open each one to hand-install a complete offline AI software suite — tested, verified, and loaded by our team. The drives are unused units repackaged to meet compliance regulations. They've never stored a single file before ours.
This isn't mass-produced software on a disc. This is a hand-loaded digital survival kit. Every unit is individually configured. That's our quality standard, not a compromise.
Great question — and it's one we're proud to answer.
The hardware is a SanDisk® Manufacturer Refurbished drive. These are unused units repackaged to meet compliance regulations. They've never stored a single file before ours.
The process — we open every unit to hand-install a complete AI software suite (30–60GB of models, engines, and offline data). This isn't a download code. It's ready to run the moment you plug in.
The guarantee — every drive is individually tested before shipping. We provide a 30-day replacement guarantee directly from our team.
Think of it as white-glove service: we did the hard work so you don't have to.
Drive: SanDisk® (Manufacturer Refurbished). Unused, repackaged for compliance. Tested + loaded by our team.
Software: Pre-installed AI suite — runs offline, leaves no trace. All licenses included on drive.
Support: 30-day replacement guarantee from OSE. All support handled by us.
SanDisk® does not provide support for this software bundle.
Do NOT claim "Comes with SanDisk Warranty" anywhere on the website, in emails, or on insert cards — it will not transfer. You provide the warranty. 30-day replacement guarantee from OSE only. Direct all support inquiries to your own contact email, never to SanDisk.
You currently source drives from eBay. At 500 units, you switch to Alibaba direct. This is a procurement decision, not a sales channel change — you always sell on opensourceeverything.io.
| Units Sold | eBay Supply ($7.16/unit) | Alibaba Supply (~$2.50/unit)* | Δ Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500 | $11,415 | $13,595 | +$2,180 |
| 1,000 | $22,830 | $27,840 | +$5,010 |
| 2,000 | $45,660 | $56,330 | +$10,670 |
| 5,000 | $114,150 | $142,050 | +$27,900 |
*ALIBABA COST INCLUDES DHL EXPRESS SHIPPING + $0.50/UNIT DATA PRE-LOAD FEE. ALL UNITS SOLD VIA OPENSOURCEEVERYTHING.IO
At 500 units, switching your supply source from eBay refurbs to Honstar saves $2,180. Your sales channel never changes — it's always opensourceeverything.io via Stripe. The supply switch is purely a procurement decision triggered by volume.
Pinned tweet, feature drop, and A/B launch variants. All CTAs drive to opensourceeverything.io. Copy-paste ready.
Under 280 characters. Explains the drive. Sets the tone. First thing anyone sees.
Go with Primary for the pin. It leads with the product, not the politics. The alt "They want you to rent intelligence" line is excellent — save it for a standalone engagement thread, not the pin. The pin needs to convert cold visitors landing on your profile from Reddit and ads.
Technical spec translated into website-ready copy for opensourceeverything.io.
Everything runs from the drive. Nothing touches your machine. Nothing phones home. Ever.
This drops directly into opensourceeverything.io as a dark section between the product card and the transparency box. Uses the same --bg-dark, grain overlay, and > prefix pattern from your existing codebase. Each bullet leads with a bold keyword — scannable at a glance, detailed on read.
Two angles. Same product. Different fear. Both link to opensourceeverything.io. Test both, kill the loser in 24 hours.
Governments are scrubbing datasets. AI companies are lobotomizing their models. Information that was free last year is gated, filtered, or gone.
I don't trust that what I can access today will be there tomorrow. So I built a solution: a portable, fully offline, uncensored AI that runs from a USB drive. No cloud. No internet. No censorship layer between you and the answer.
It runs Qwen 3 (abliterated) via llama.cpp. Mac + Windows. One click. Zero trace. Ships in a Faraday bag.
Full build is open source — you can make one yourself. Or grab one for $29.99 at opensourceeverything.io.
Wanted a local LLM setup that I could actually carry. Something I could plug into any machine — Mac or Windows — and have a fully working AI in seconds. No Docker. No Python. No config files.
So I built one on a 32GB SanDisk flash drive. Double-click a file and it boots Qwen 3 (abliterated, 4B) via llama.cpp. Auto-detects your RAM, picks the right model quantization, wipes all session data on exit. Zero trace.
Ships in a Faraday bag because why not. Full build is open source — parts list, scripts, model links, everything. Build your own or grab one pre-loaded for $29.99.
opensourceeverything.io — we made the whole thing transparent.
Variant A (Panic) targets fear-driven communities. Post on r/privacy and r/StallmanWasRight. Converts the already-anxious. Risk: sounds paranoid on wrong sub.
Variant B (Flex) targets builders on r/LocalLLaMA and r/selfhosted. Reads like a build log, not a manifesto. Higher trust with technical audiences.
Deploy both simultaneously. Measure upvote velocity at 2hr, 6hr, 24hr. Kill the loser. Scale the winner. Reddit's $500 credit match lets you amplify the winning post at 50% cost.
Variant B wins. Your website already handles the fear framing — "Arming the Public for the Information War" is on the About page. Reddit needs the build-log trust angle. Lead with the flex. Let the fear find them on its own.
Final pre-launch checklist, hour-by-hour deployment schedule, and top-risk matrix. All sales via opensourceeverything.io + Stripe. No third-party marketplaces.
Every item must be checked the night before launch. CRITICAL items are launch blockers.
Per Product_Launch_Timeline.txt: WinLaunch.bat is "Drafted (Untested latest version)" on real Windows hardware. ~70% of your customers are on Windows. Test this TONIGHT. The likely issue is a Windows Defender "unknown publisher" flag — document the "More Info → Run Anyway" workaround in the ReadMe.txt and on the product page.

The existing weekend_launch_battleplan.md has 50+ items per day. I compressed to 20 high-impact actions with 4 decision gates. Every gate forces one of three calls: kill, hold, or scale. Focus is force multiplied. Noise is not.
Each risk has one mitigation move — a single sentence you can execute in under 5 minutes.
The three things most likely to stop the launch or destroy customer trust on opensourceeverything.io.
Add a "WINDOWS USERS: READ FIRST" section on the product page AND a physical card in every shipment showing a screenshot of the Defender popup with the words: "Click More Info → Click Run Anyway — this is normal for unsigned open-source software and happens once."
Never mention SanDisk warranty on the website, in emails, or on insert cards — state "30-day replacement guarantee from OSE" and "All support handled by OSE" everywhere, and direct all inquiries to your own contact email.
At 80 units sold, switch the site to "Pre-order: Ships in 7-10 business days" and call USB Memory Direct (866-404-4645) for a 200-unit rush order within 1 hour — their 1-3 day lead time buys breathing room while you trigger the Alibaba pipeline.
Three things must happen tonight: (1) Test WinLaunch.bat on real Windows hardware. (2) Confirm shipping cost. (3) Complete a real Stripe test purchase on opensourceeverything.io. All three clear = you are go. Discipline before deployment.
