Can't speak for Hypfer but I guess he doesn't mean the monetary side of "business" as most people understand it but the "attention" (of reading/checking the talk and link, etc..), so I don't fault him for that.
Full disclosure: I'm not getting paid nor seek money from what I found on my alleged "ad", btw.
I posted the exact model name & number and there's indeed quite a lot of hardware specs detailed on the talk itself (Allwinner A20 SoC, btw) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
"There was no relation to Valetudo"... well, with your current behavior and tone as a community "admin", you're certainly making sure I'll not work on that direction in the near future (I do have it mentioned as future aim on my last slides).
Totally second that, I was banned today on their Telegram channel just because I mentioned that I recorded a r2con2025 presentation to free Samsung PowerBot VR7000M vacuum cleaners (no Samsung bot seems to be supported by them to date), titled "Restoring the Vacuum" in here:
I wish I didn't mention Valetudo positively on my presentation now. Hypfer has bizarre (to say the least) views about what community building means and entails.
Majestic, the main streamer binary is not opensource and even connects to remote servers it Hetzner among other shenanigans, so it should be called OpenIPC/ClosedMagestic.
Hook people? Hey, it's not *THAT* good of a talk. I'm not even a security researcher myself, but thanks for the street cred ;)
I see your points, let's agree to disagree on some of them but overall, thanks for sharing your thoughts over here, good intellectual sparring.
