      This was a home project - he did it because he wanted to, not because he needed to. Would you have preferred he watched survivor? Or that donald trump show? Maybe downloaded, so he could be spoonfed his entertainment.

    Maybe he could have turned his talents toward something that would actually be useful and beneficial to someone? Yes, spending one's time hacking hardware is better than watching illegal downloads of crappy TV shows, but there are better things one could do with one's time.
