I'm working on a new version of my TV-B-Gone kit. It will use an ESP32 chip. I just finished the code last night. It will be easy to re-program (using the free Arduino software), add new Off-Codes, and easier to the solder new hardware. Totally Open Hardware, of course:

-= We hoped we never had to do this but here we are and we now have to do this. =-

American trans humans are under threat and like in 1930s Germany, they now have to GTFO of their home country.

We have decided we need to collect some information on the possible ways out.

So we made a wiki.
