#TIL the last decade's explosion of software-defined radio (#SDR) was thanks to a #Finnish engineering student/#Linux developer reverse engineering low-cost digital TV tuner chips. Thanks, Linus, for paving the way, and Antti, for continuing to carry the banner. Source from IEEE, 2013: https://spectrum.ieee.org/a-40-softwaredefined-radio
