    Way to read the room, jfc. Hardbricking hardware is not the answer, see FTDI.

    I get why they are doing that... but I think there should be a way for users to flash a separate firmware, maybe tied to the hardware key similar to the old h264/mpeg license, that allows the usage of a modified board.

    PS: Arrest Sam Altman who caused all of this mess in the first place with his market manipulation stunt.
