Hacker Who Modded Calculator To Access The Internet Gets DMCA Notice From CASIO

Hobbyist electronics hacker and YouTuber ‘Neutrino’ has been slapped with a DMCA copyright complaint by CASIO for using its copyrighted source code for his project.

https://www.techworm.net/2020/05/hacker-calculator-internet-casio.html

Neutrino hacked a Casio fx-991MS scientific calculator & replaced the small solar panel on the device with a tiny OLED screen, added an ESP8266 Wi-Fi module, a rechargeable battery, and even a messaging functionality without modifying the physical appearance of the calculator.

Casio could’ve patted him on the back, encouraged him to keep experimenting. But no, they had to act like a pack of douches

“What’s more, the device was also able to communicate with similar devices nearby.” Ffs. The kid turned his calculator into an internet connected device and CASIO slaps him with a DMCA rather than a congratulations
