Oh, sorta like how Apple reverse engineered Microsoft Office file formats to support them in iWork, without Microsoft permission? eff.org/deeplinks/2019…
Relentlessly hacking Apple while everyone cheers them on.
Cringe.
Readers added context
According to Section 103 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 1201), a person in legal possession of a program may reverse-engineer and circumvent its protection if that is necessary to achieve "interoperability".

Today is the 10 year anniversary of the @Pebble Kickstarter launch. I had enough foresight at the time to take a photo of the exact moment when everything in my life changed:
Damn this is cool. Someone made a Android mainboard replacement for the Q20. It fits perfectly inside the existing phone. Uses the same display but upgrades the camera and switches to USB C. It feels so good to hold blackberry again. The soft touch back feels amazing
New app alert: I've been working on Beeper for a while and today we're launching! It's a single app to chat on iMessage, WhatsApp, and 13 other networks. Been using it as my default chat client for the last 2 years and there is NO going back. Check it out beeperhq.com
Amazon is now a showroom for AliExpress. Buy some pairs on Amazon to try on, fine best style, return, order in ali for 1/4 price.
Full circle. Wasn't Amazon the show room for bricks and mortar? Wonder what's next in the cycle...
We're really proud to show off the final design for @Pebble Time 2*! It's quite a bit sleeker and imo more awesome looking than the original design for Core Time 2 we showed off in March. I hope you like it!
Pebble is officially back on iOS and Android! Download it now, works with all old and new Pebbles.
Incredible that everything's still working just as well as before. Can you say that about any other tech product you bought 13 years ago??

I’m excited to introduce a little side project I’ve been working on: Beepberry - a portable e-paper computer for hackers, designed for chatting on Beeper. It’s available today to pre-order for $79. It’s a partnership between me (@onbeeper) and @sqfmi: beepberry.sqfmi.com
