Four Thieves Vinegar Collective has made DIY medicine cheaper and more accessible to the masses.

Sharing because I found this very interesting.

The Four Thieves Vinegar Collective has a DIY design for a home lab you can set up to reproduce expensive medication for dirt cheap, producing medication like that used to cure Hepatitis C, along with software they developed that can be used to create chemical compounds out of common household materials.

    I’m honestly shocked that someone hasn’t gone the black market APK route of analyzing the protocols heuristically and then releasing an APK with those protocols on torrent/deep web. Obviously, that’s insanely more risky and error prone, but you would find out pretty quick if freestyle modified their protocols, and could patch it within a week or two (maybe). I really wish I was more low-level hardware skilled to know better, or even lend a hand.

    I just make shitty SaaS software for a living, what do I know lol
