    I have so many iffy IoT devices I've been trying to pick apart the firmware for years now. this may be a game changer for me. I'm kinda surprised people here aren't as excited for …

    Dunno if it's my ADHD or what, but I've been using subtitles ever since streaming became a thing. And even more so after I had a kid. I basically cannot hear without subtitles.

    Yeah the analogy I use is "Feel free to use my garage and tools any time you like, just don't take my stuff and sell it" Unclear about "don't use my tools for monetery gain"

    I think a lot of people get confused about that. There are hundreds (probably more) of paid software that offers it's source code up. You can use it to learn from or make improveme…

    I'm curious though. What's the root domain going to be if this one is lite? Being a .io I'd like to think it will be an api site or something?
