Well looks like Arduino has been acquired by Qualcomm. Any guesses how long before it becomes closed source?

Usually, 6 months to a year!
Although i like to remind myself there are examples of that being a good thing...not often though, MySQL database comes to mind back when it was acquired by Oracle (i think) and they made it much faster and still left it open source, for quite a while...no idea what is the current state of it though.
I am waiting for Paramount to acquire HBO, as that will be absolutely the end of free speech in USA.

It seems like every time economies go down hill these big companies start snatching up small ones and
gouge people for the same products. Or like most recent trends they start introducing subscription based B.S.
It's aggravating how much the masses are told that competition is good and the norm until it comes to big
corporate then it's all about monopolies.

The demise of the Arduino platform may not be too bad, people might start to learn basic electronics.

Maybe. But not likely. Most of the generations past Millennials just want A.I. to do everything for them.
I have personally seen it with my own eye's. Me personally I don't trust A.I. more so because who
controls it's usage, what info it collects, and how said info is utilized and or who it is sold to.
