I’ve posted about this on HN before; I think that there’s a dangerous second-order enshittification going on where people are so jaded by a few bad corporate actions that they believe that everyone is out to get them and hardware is evil. The most disappointing thing to me is that this has led to a complete demolition of curiosity; rather than learning that OTP is an ancient and essential concept in hardware, the brain-enshittification has led to “I see hardware anti-*, I click It’s Evil” with absolutely no thought or research applied.
