How Spotify Car Thing Turned into an Open Source E-waste Nightmare

You may have heard the news that Spotify will brick its first hardware device, Car Thing. And you probably saw reports that Spotify refuses to open source the device so people can hack it and keep it going. But that's not true!

Today we'll get into the details of the Spotify Car Thing, its open source status, and the chances of modding it into something useful.

If you're interested, check out the Car Thing Hax community

Spotify posted source code here

And if you have a Car Thing and don't know what to do with it, you can send it to me:
