Meta open-sources Muse gadget SDKs but locks Home Link
Original: Meta open-sourced the Muse gadget SDKs, but its own Home Link can't be reflashed
Meta has released the software development kits for its Muse gadgets as open source, allowing outside developers to build for the platform. However, the company has not permitted reflashing of its own Home Link device, meaning users cannot reflash that hardware themselves. The move is being discussed as a mixed, partially open release: real developer access on one side, and a key first-party device remaining locked on the other.
Why now: People are debating whether Meta's open-source gesture is meaningful when its own hardware stays locked.
