MODERATORS
Reminds me of that "study" from HP where they hacked a third-party ink cartridge to justify not letting you use their printer, even to scan, without buying genuine HP cartridges and having them on at all times.
Ridiculous levels of gaslighting.
Ahhh good point. Malicious actors always limit themselves to only attacking one device per person.
