A shame this was taken down for whatever reason. If you're curious, the original article and code did make it onto some archival sites:

Awesome. That means we can once again gaze upon its wonderfully-scrappy DIY splendor.

 

 

I love it.

I frankly don't see how this could have been "requested" to be removed by anyone. Ikea isn't gonna give a shit about your lamp once you bought it, and hacking Doom onto, well, anything is pretty much a time-honored tradition. Thankfully the article and repository got preserved at least.

 

So now the bigger question is "Who requested the removal, and why?"

You know, I would never have guessed that "Dude hacks a lamp to play Doom on it and then gets their work mysteriously taken down" could ever have been a thing that would happen, yet here we are. Welcome to the future.

Allegedly, reportedly...

There's some news, through the rumor-mill. We can stop blaming IKEA, it wasn't them who put a halt to all this.

 

It appears (not confirmed) that the guy works for the company that creates the microprocessors in the first place. It's likely that he was simply told by his boss "take it down" and he had no choice but to comply.

 

Shame. But understandable.
