[QUOTE="codezer0, post: 10291941, member: 187684"] Nintendo more recently lobbied successfully to make console modifications illegal in Japan. The immediate consequence of that, was that a physical shop where the (n){2/3}DS hardware capture cards were made/sold/installed had to shut down operations immediately before the law would take effect and force the issue. There's also the situation where Gary Bowser only got out of jail time by basically being forced to fork over 30% of his income for life to Nintendo. Or the $12m levied on some random rom site run by a couple, of all things. Sony tried to pursue George Hotz and had [I]no case at all[/I]. Every avenue they were trying to assert about how he broke the law was able to be debunked. Even so, they [B]still[/B] tried to push to have him serve jail time, and even though the courts had to remind them that they failed to effectively prove he did anything wrong, only settled by some bizarro affidavit they made him sign to never touch a Sony product again. Sony also famously bricked/banned/blocked a once licensed ps3 controller from mad katz in a system update. Their PR response was trying to assert that these controllers were used to make turbo mods to official controllers. But the issue is that the hardware block they used also broke a lot of specialty controllers (like the x-Arcade), to which Sony has never made, nor bothered to make, a suitable substitute to offer. The issue with the Mad Katz controller in particular, is that its pcb allowed easy rejiggering to make accessibility controllers, effectively ruining the ability for less than able bodied people to play ps3 games effectively. Sony, far as I know, never amended or corrected this, or offered anything during the supported life of the system. That they're even offering an "accessibility controller" now for the ps5 is a surprise; shouldn't be surprised then, that it's more expensive than the one Microsoft did for the Xbox One/Series systems. I would also chime in and say anecdotally, Sony banning my psn account even though I'd not played the console online in more than a year; only really having it connect online to sync trophies earned and allow the wife to access her netflix account through it. No rhyme, no reason, and even when contacting support, no explanation. Even if I was banned from Xbox Live, I could at least get [I]why[/I] spelled out by tech support. [/QUOTE]

It's great if you have something anyone else wants, otherwise it's annoying and potentially bad if you lose your keys

Bad news is that BitLocker was cracked, so somebody could use a Pi Pico and probe the LPC pads on the motherboard to grab the key.

My wife's doctor prescribed her a ointment for neck pain, that cost $30. We just read the ingredients, and active ingredient is CBD, found exact ingredients in another off brand ointment online, for only $8. Our healthcare system at its finest.
