I worked in telecom for a couple of years up until recently. There’s actually a growing body of self-regulation going on within the SMS industry. Most notably, any business sending text messages has to apply for a “license” to do so, with some pretty strict consent requirements. Violating those requirements comes with heavy penalties, mostly enforced by downstream carriers. If you’re curious, 10DLC/A2P are the terms to Google for.

I think it scratches a similar itch as most techbros: “if I can solve this hard problem, all problems are easy!” It’s a mentality I see constantly, especially on the orange site.

I’d be careful doing this, as the sensor could pivot. I had a mount that did this and I felt like I was constantly having to mess with my Z offset

The idea of a security tool using the same name as one of the most serious security vulnerabilities of the last decade is very funny, lol.
