They might not need to open-source it: hackers have found ways of jailbreaking the installed Linux and are stepping up efforts for making it reusable. It’s a rather feeble SoC, so there won’t be a huge number of applications for it, but there will be some.
Yeah, coming from someone who’s tried it, the jailbreak is sorta useles at the moment. Hoping someone comes along and improves on it. Spite is an excellent motivator.
Would make for a lovely home assistant control device.

You should still get a refund, they should not get to do this.

What’s SOC?
System on a chip. Think like a Qualcomm or Samsung processor, or the new M line from Apple
Honestly it would be cool to have it just able to clip to my vent and show me my now-playing or let me select episodes of podcasts or w/e
I really want a second hand one to use as a Plex controller, would be awesome for controlling my speakers in the home.
