Keep Up the Good Work. I used to think ICs would grant the individuals in society more and more power, that could hopefully be leveraged to do some good (for a broad enough and sufficiently universal definition of good). What a shame to see that people use these ICs and exploit expected knowledge asymmetry to limit functionality.



There's so much potential in DIY. It's a real shame that market promotes solutions as it does. The asymmetry of knowledge, that is, keeping important details from the buyer/user needs to be dealt with one way or another.

There's people born every day that don't know anything. Some would rather exploit that rather than facilitate openness and creativity.
