Once patched, you can turn that board into:

GitHub, Instructables, and Reddit communities like r/arduino and r/hardwarehacking began actively removing repositories containing "Magix" keywords. The official line was "promoting ethical security research," but many felt this was a coordinated effort to close the Pandora’s box of cheap exploits. arduino magix patched
