Meta open-sources Muse gadget SDKs but locks Home Link
Original: Meta open-sourced the Muse gadget SDKs, but its own Home Link can't be reflashed
Meta has released the software development kits for its Muse gadget platform as open source, a move welcomed by developers eager to build compatible accessories. However, the company has not allowed Home Link, its own device, to be reflashed with custom firmware, drawing criticism that the openness is only partial. Observers note the contrast between Meta encouraging third-party development while keeping its own hardware locked down, raising questions about how far the company's open-source commitment actually extends across the ecosystem.
Why now: People are debating whether Meta's open-source gesture is genuine given it still restricts reflashing its own hardware
