A standardized magnetic pogo pin connector

That’s something I hadn’t considered before. What a neat idea.

A lot overboard, really. There is a long way to go for truth and reconciliation.

I’m not sure it’s alarmist; I think this is all a breaking change is.

Anybody updating needs to know their existing config may not longer be supported. Even if the consequences are small, even if not every user will be affected, this update will break some previously acceptable configs. I think that warrants a heads up and a reminder to read the release notes.

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.

TIL I might be in a maze
