European governments are embedding Google's Play Integrity API into digital ID wallets, which excludes users of de-Googled operating systems. This contradicts the EU's goal of building digital public infrastructure based on openness and inclusiveness.
Software is now a commodity thanks to Claude Code. So the next step is obviously hardware. I spent the last 6 months on building a hardware startup, which was fucking hard. I made a radar that could classify materials, and this is the story of how I did it as my "end of studies" project. By the way, the project never ended (as you will see down this article, because of a lack of ...
