@benjojo huh, siemens owns hackaday?? seems like they really wanted tindie and hackaday was incidental but that's still kind of weird

@benjojo it is painfully funny how often this happens. These companies go through phases where they realize they need outreach to students/hobbyists but their corporate structures make it hard to let students/hobbyists have access to their products so instead they do random acquisitions in the hobbyist space which doesn’t actually help much.

@benjojo And Raspberry Pi has (always had) a much too close relationship with Broadcom, one of the worst offenders... This is weird though, what does Qualcomm get out of Arduino? It's completely disjoint from their market... Sucks.
