I&#x27;ve only been to two hacker spaces, one in SF and one in HK.  Both had hardware there to hack on, workshops for using various hardware tools, workshops on security, biohacking, etc.  I preferred my own hardware, but I found the communal hardware and others projects fascinating.<p>I also wasn&#x27;t too productive, but that&#x27;s because I was busy meeting people and checking out their work.
