I’ve gotten into woodworking as of late because there is great value in a collection of tools and processes that don’t involve the internet or a piece of electronics more complex than a MOSFET unless I specifically invite it in—I find it restorative.

Home Depot has been hard at work adding drm to their power tools: https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20210802/07490447288/home-depot-tech-will-brick-power-tools-if-theyre-stolen-what-could-possibly-go-wrong.shtml https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20210802/07490447288/home-...
