Shout out to Louis Rossmann for doing a ton of work on Right to repair.

He started a website called Consumer Rights Wiki to document anti-consumer practices.

He's also involved with FULU Foundation which has a bounty of 25k to get Ring cameras working without Amazon's servers.

I appreciate everything he stands for - he's on the right side of just about every issue. I just wish he could make more succinct and effective videos.

I wish he wasn’t such an ass. Had a never meet your heroes moment outside defcon a few years ago. Not a friendly person and went from big fan to disdain when I hear his name.

Extra props for tilting thw windmill that is tech behemoths funneling data to government agencies without oversight. Aiming at Amazon is certainly something not to be taken lightly.

I agree with this. Louis has done a ton in the last decade and deserves thanks for sure.

Wouldn't it be easier to build an open hardware/source alternative to Ring cameras.
