For me, the first thing I’d do is clear my family of all debts(or whatever financial issues) there is and then the second thing i’d do is buy a hundred Siomai for me to eat

What are you buying if you won One billion dollars?

Start a nonprofit open source IoT hardware company. Internet-connected smart devices and appliances are cool, but not the way they are implemented now. I’d base everything on common hobby chips like ESP32, AVR, and STM32. Every single device would have a completely unlocked firmware upload port.

Yeahh…but there’s no documentation, no schematics, and no legal ability to take the design and modify and redistribute it. That’s what I want to change. I want to create the Linux of IoT.
