It's 2020, things are different...

For Electronics that I sell, please browse to: tindie.com/stores/jpelectron For 3D Prints I've designed/modified, see: thingiverse.com/jpmakesstuff/designs For Sample files/technical resources, see: Google Drive share Starting in May, 2020 I decided to open source all of the software featured on this site. In October, 2020 I also consolidated my once flagship product DNS Redirector to be open source as well. For Software, please visit: github.com/JPElectron?tab=repositories While all software is still functional, relevant, and useful today; it is unlikely I will ever update any of the applications. I never included any back-doors, telemetry, or activation and never sold any subscription. Instead I offered only a fair 1-time license, and in the last two years that revenue stream has become almost non-existent. Since the dawn of Windows 10, and the disturbing industry trend that software: A] needed to be a cloud connected (or adding multiple points of failure, Internet access, etc. such that it became cloud dependent) B] would primarily act as or be a method to sell usage data "out the back door" at a higher value than the product itself C] is somehow entitlement to a re-occurring revenue stream (subscription) ... my distaste for software development, especially on Microsoft Windows, has grown to the point that I no longer want to touch it. Perhaps in another 10 years, after the all the trouble of ransomware, and hacking, and auto-updating failure nonsense; and the world adopts (returns to) the "next big thing" of on-prem and offline systems that are reliable, resilient, and tested ... might I then return to software as a reputable business. |
