YouTuber f4mi reverse engineers her devices and open-sources applications to control them

https://youtu.be/P1kfuCkWo24

To be completely precise, some she reverse engineers herself, others she finds an implementation someone has already done and just creates a UI for them. Still very cool.

In the video, she then describes how she did it, tools and all.

It's a shame people in the US (and possibly UK?) would be putting themselves at legal risk if they did the same. See Louis Rossman's videos on the DMCA if you are curious.

@whyNotSquirrel idiotic comments like yours are the reason why social media and the Internet are a shithole for too many people.

Uh, I think the deleted comment was likely a joke on how the name of the video was "unzip to hack" rather than about sexualizing the YouTuber.

That said, I can see why it may be inappropriate so I can understand why it was removed.
