      Even though I bought it. It’s illegal to tinker with some components. And we’re all OK enough with it.

      I mean how did this get past the “Klaus Schwab is eating your children” crowd meanwhile we can’t legally reverse engineer things we bought

      I don’t think those is DRM, as it digital rights. I think they were using it as a comparison.
