We need more open hardware standards. Late-stage capitalism ruins everything.

    It's so weird how Apple basically explicitly said, "yeah so you can write software for it if you want, we won't stop you. Also, we will obfuscate everything and provide no documentation." So it is a very soft fuck you that should likely prevent lawsuits.

    I miss Apple, the company that gave you schematics and programming instructions for their computers. Wonder whatever happened to them.
