Qualcomm has quietly made some massive changes to Arduino’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, marking a clear departure from the platform’s founding principles.

According to Adafruit, the new policies introduce sweeping user-license provisions, broaden data collection (particularly around AI usage), and embed long-term account data retention, all while integrating user information into Qualcomm’s broader data ecosystem.

Section 7.1 grants Arduino a perpetual, irrevocable license over anything you upload. Your code, projects, forum posts, and comments all fall under this. This remains in effect even after you delete your account. Arduino retains rights to your content indefinitely.

The license is also royalty-free and sublicensable. Arduino can use your content however they want, distribute it, modify it, and even sublicense it to others.

The terms further state that users are not allowed to reverse engineer or attempt to understand how the platform works unless Arduino gives permission. Adafruit argues that this contradicts the values that made Arduino attractive to educators, researchers, and hobbyists.

The Privacy Policy states Arduino is wholly owned by Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. User data, including from minors, flows to other Qualcomm Group companies.

This post is insightful, thanks !

You see, wire telegraph is a kind of very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles.

That’s a great image.

Yes, originally, but the words are also used in their extended meaning.

I think the term “Chinese diaspora” is more appropriate.

edit : What I mean is that this word (overseas) no longer necessarily reflects today’s reality; it should be obsolete, like many other words nowadays. Languages are alive.

Only when I am confined to bed. But even in this case, washing your face in the morning is a must…

Would choose Toki Pona, later I would like to learn Swahili too

Studying mathematics is a difficult but also rewarding activity. This requires having a positive relationship with the effort. By analogy we could compare this to sport. To give up practicing mathematics because it is difficult is equivalent to giving up sport because it tires.

For those interested in the education of mathematics, I would recommend this book by mathematician David Bessis.

Quite agree with point number 1, moreover the fact that those you re following boost everything they like tends to cause a kind of “spam”, I think developers should dissociate the Boost button from the “Like” button.

These people who think they are more important than others…

Typically the family, never good enough, never everything enough.

Edit 10 000 years please, it would seem more coherent.

Interesting, still why did you choose the number 300 exactly ?

Personally I never pay attention to the score.

Sometimes I forget how stupid humans are.

No unfortunately I think about it every day.

This question is too difficult, there are too many candidates…

They could have added baskets and a shelter…

Dunno but if I were an alien the stupidest thing I could do would be contact “humans”.
