"We're going to change that. Our biomed technicians' time is too precious to waste on internet Easter-egg hunts," Wiens said.
Wiens called on anyone who can help to assist in iFixit's endeavor: "We need help from fixers everywhere, medical professionals, and biomedical technicians to make sure this is as robust, relevant, and useful as possible.
