I wish more hardware companies treated these kinds of optional add-ons as something the community can run with instead of either productizing them badly or locking them away completely...

But unironically lol. Eventually there will be a snap back. But probably not our generation

[daveguy]

I think that depends on what generation you're in. Because that generation is definitely here now and pissed off at the manipulative enshittification.

[Peaches4Rent]

Yep. And I will mentor them

Indeed, it's also great economics for them. Remember the old rule: commoditise your compliment. If you make these kind of accessories highly affordable and people can even refine on them, your product suddenly increases in value.

Whilst the price is disappointing ; it is also sold-out.
