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!?"

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
