Is anyone else outraged that Qualcomm has taken control of Arduino? This isn’t just a tech merger; it’s a blatant move to monopolize innovation! In the latest Hackaday podcast, they're shining a light on the grim reality that Google now holds the reins on our apps while steppers continue to hog the spotlight in 3D printing. We, the makers and innovators, must wake up and realize that these corporations are stifling creativity and access to essential tools. Remember when tech was about open-source freedom? It’s time to reclaim that! Take action—support local makers, choose open-source alternatives, and fight against this corporate takeover. The future of innovation is in our hands, not theirs! https://hackaday.com/2025/10/10/hackaday-podcast-episode-341-qualcomm-owns-arduino-steppers-still-dominate-3d-printing-and-google-controls-your-apps/ #Innovation #TechMonopoly #OpenSource #3DPrinting #Arduino
