@bouriquet@mastodon.social @swordgeek@mstdn.ca @Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange Once you've enabled it, you cannot disable it. And I wouldn't trust them anyway. I have to buy 2 x 75" TVs over the next 6 months to upgrade my flight simulator . The THe will never be connected to any network, and I'll probably install a honeypot to keep them tamed. And since I'm not in the US, if they "require" a connection, I'll take them to small claims court for $25,000 per TV for violating our laws. I'm fed up with American stupidity and predatory business practices being exported to the rest of the world. BTW, Canada has passed right to repair legislation that allows for bypassing technical locks in such cases. Ditto for when companies turn off servers - you're free to back the software to restore functionality.
