Do you remember when it was normal advice to "never use your real name online".

Then the cops got tired of that crap and suddenly it was considered wrong to not use your real name on social media. I have to this day never done so, I am still living in that era where giving out your name is wrong.

Well sometimes be cheeky. I fire up the mcdonalds app some days, then drive with the gps on to Wendys and leave it on while it sit there and eat. I continue to leave it on while driving back to work then I shut it off in the parking lot.

Feels better knowing they are watching. Ever since they ratted on Luigi I have been penalizing them.

Your comment is like pretending random knock-off USB flash memory that reports 256GB will actually hold the full amount. It's pretending the cheap knock-off sdcards on amazon don't noticeably lose data earlier or run slower. Pretending knock-off SSDs don't wrap around to the beginning earlier than their reported sizes.

I don't want those people touching my hardware before me and not telling me. Cheaper or not.

So I am normally anti DRM and would normally complain loudly about this lock but if you read into it the idea makes perfect sense and it's less of a "lock" and more about "authenticity".

People were buying these with the lowest ram, sourcing crappy questionable ram and upgrading them then reselling at the higher cost which left people eventually holding the bag when the memory errors and such appeared.

When you get one and flash the official image the "lock" is in effect. Anyone can make their own image without it thus the end user tinkerers can STILL UPGRADE THEIR RAM. This just stops someone from selling a knock-off upgraded PI as "genuine" because people will likely expect to flash official images on it. This just thwarts those plans and keeps the higher quality chips around for people.

If you don't like this buy the cheap one, get the ram chip and ugrade it and remove the lock yourself. Tinkering still works....

I have always been super contemptful of courts. I look at them like you look at a court of a primitive people discovered in StarTrek who think they need to hold trial for one of the StarTrek redshirts they want to kill for some pointless stupid thing like âoeusing a communicatorâ.

Everyone watching knows this primitive court is stupid, wrong and extracting out the redshirt guy by teleporting him before they can kill him is the right thing to do.

I feel this way about our courts. You people are stupid emotion driven idiots and have no right to run your little âoecouncilsâ.
