I suspect that a lot of hardware will start shipping open source firmware soon. Routers, IP cameras, etc. It'll be a selling point for everyone tinkering with vibe coding, and it's no longer a moat. Companies that don't do this will have their firmwares dumped with open source models and tools. Companies that do this will have community goodwill and extra distribution that comes from having people talking about your…

Hopefully better than their QMK fork. They force push over their branch in their fork each new release effectively erasing history of the last version... Of course there's no change log anywhere either...
Does that mean they remove any release tags as well?

Um, did they announce opensource firmware without providing the source?

I'm a bit worried that a decent, modern replacement for the extremely obsolete multi-button mouse I have now (Logitech G602) will never be available.

Those already exist: OpenWRT, OpenIPC. I wish more hardware was available though, especially for cameras.
I’ve had positive experiences with Keychron products in the past, but I’ve moved past them as I now prefer orthogonal layouts. That said, I loved their support of QMK on my Q1 Pro and I really hope this ends up on that same level.
Which one do you use/have now?

I need surveillance cameras (outdoor mostly) but the cheap ones I found are a horrid proprietary mess. I even bought and returned one after the setup was complex and invasive.
Basically all I need is access to the live stream from a raspberry pi where I can store and process the video.
This would be more exciting if Keychron had mice of more interesting / experimental form factors and functionality. Just like their keyboards, their mice are mostly differentiated by obscure technical features (polling rates!).
