    Exactly. The best reason to do it is as a skill challenge, not a cost savings. It is empowering to be able to subvert a smart device. But once is enough

    I suggest we reward the makers who let us hack their hardware as a general practice, instead.

      Agreed. Either that or you hack a device you own or got for free.

      If anything replacing the ESP32 might be better for some devices but idk
