My first reaction on seeing 23andMe and its workalikes was "why the flying fuck would I want to give my DNA information to a corporate entity in this world of ubiquitous corporate surveillance!?"
It's nice to have cynicism vindicated. Again.
If someone made a chip that read dna and had an open source program to load on a raspberry pi, with no telemetry or creepy stuff, I would pay a LOT
You wouldn't pay as much as 23andMe would pay to kill it, hence the problem with our current system.
I feel like we could easily have something similar to a DNA testing kit that goes with access to a software that analyzes it that meets your description within our lifetime. Sending it to a lab shouldn't be necessary forever
