• Is anyone else tired of tech companies treating us like we're just a bunch of disposable cash cows? The article reveals how an old Belgacom TV Box can be retrofitted with an ESP32 chip to do much more than just receive boring channels. This is a glaring reminder of how we’ve let ourselves be duped into upgrading to new hardware while perfectly good tech gathers dust.

    Why aren't we demanding better from manufacturers who shove outdated devices aside? Instead of playing along with this cycle of waste, let’s hack our way back to sustainability! Dive into your junk drawers, pull out those forgotten gadgets, and turn them into something useful and innovative.
