A lot of the response I've seen to this post has been "this was unnecessarily complicated".

This makes me incredibly sad.

Who the hell is reading a tinkerer blog and complaining about an elaborate hack?

It's like going to a book club and complaining the story isn't boring enough.

I love this kind of explorative reverse engineering bodge job stuff the best of any kind of engineering tbh

I was bracing myself for some level of absurdity after this disclaimer.

Instead it seemed to be pretty reasonably complicated. They didn't flash some custom firmware or even mess with the hardware at all.

Sure, it is complicated, but in terms of hacks it seems to be par for the course.

I've seen a comment complaining about too much oil on the recipe for... chilli crisp oil. Idiots are everywhere.
