Said on Hackaday Podcast

“A friend of mine worked for a British catalog shop during that period in the 90s. And they had to put up a notice because people would bring back their Tamagotchis for a refund after they died. They had to put up a notice… pointing out that somewhere in the battery compartment was a reset button.” — Jenny List, Hackaday Podcast

“I've always wanted to know why we weren't, you know, collectively hacking on cell phones. I've been asking myself this question for 10 years. And this year, it seems to be, we're starting to do it. And I love to see it.” — Elliot Williams, Hackaday Podcast

“Light is a lot less tweaky than radio. You don't have to worry about… building a damn radio transmitter, and it's not illegal to transmit light. You can transmit light however and wherever you want, and the FCC doesn't even come knocking on your door.” — Elliot Williams, Hackaday Podcast
