You know, I know, any reasonable person knows if someone is talking about dev kit boards for the ESP32 you include 3rd party remixes using the off-the-shelf modules.
They made a board, they're selling it, they're talking about it's virtues, it's not a bad thing. You suggesting alternatives is also not a bad thing, but you make it sound as if there's something nefarious going on.
HN is probably 50% people talking about what they do, yet this is the first time I've ever called someone out for this. Like how hard is it to say "Hey, guy who created the board ... <insert exactly the same comment>".
You shouldn't have to play sleuth checking people's comment histories to get such a simple (but important) disclaimer.

More weird replies... like where did I say seon posted the actual link? Or remotely imply that?
I hate that your comments are downvoted so much, when there's good information that would normally be a great contribution, or at least basis for good conversation. If you'd take a slightly less accusatory stance they would've been perfect comments.
And I have no issue being accusatory, in fact let me get more accusatory, how strange is it the other comment that I felt was weird came from a 4 karma account that made it's first comment in 7 years on this post!

It's funny because there are literally 6 ESP32 variants in my order history from the last month. There's one sitting next to me running the project I'm debugging.
TinyPICO just went from "It's expensive but if I want to have a USB C port, that's the one" to "I will never buy one".
I'm not saying that as some giant "gotcha!" I'm sure there's no shortage of people who will buy them, but I won't be one of them. Not going to support these kinds of games.
