Haven't read the article, but the snippet seems to suggest all those are old stuff that got enshittified or stop working altogether(like the Nest)

Edit: it seems like there's also new stuff there that got DRM build in, unlocking it might actually be helpful for some people who already bought it but didn't know about the DRM.

Yeah, concerning the DRM part, the main goal of this bounty system is to help change legislation so that people are allowed to legally modify the things that they own.

Specifically reforming section 1201 of the DMCA. Right now, if you break the digital locks on the fridge to remove the ads and then publicize that information, you can get 3-5 years in federal prison. (With this bounty system you keep the information private between you and Futo).

So when they hear lobbyists say things like, "We believe this legislation is in search of problems that do not exist..." Louis can respond with "Well actually, millions of people use these products and if this person releases a solution to it, he goes to prison"

Louis talks about that in more detail here: https://odysee.com/@rossmanngroup:a/after-17-years-of-repair,-i%E2%80%99m-doing:d
