1) You misunderstood. The relevant part is "technical, diagnostic, usage and related information". Note it doesn't say 'video' anywhere there, and even it did it wouldn't hold up court.

This thing is going to cost more and be far less capable than a traditional suitcase or even hand-pump desalinator and you never see those on lifeboats.

Not the first time and it won't be the last. Because it's forbidden for pilots to smoke in the cockpit there are no longer established procedures & checklists for safe cockpit smoking. You can still find ash trays in the bathr

Oscilloscope is probably overkill for starting out, better a good multimeter for much cheaper. Be careful with the microcontrollers; it's easy to fry them when you make mistakes!

Projects like this are inevitable and necessary; 'OpenAI' make such a mockery of their name that it's an invitation to others to try and build an alternative that is actually open.
