where is that?

You saw Cory’s sensationalizing here, right?

Error 53: Apple remotely bricks phones to punish customers for getting independent repairs

All they do is pass the same hash for every input. You train it with your index finger, then you pass a hotdog over it, then you let your dog lick it, same hash every time… They’re cheaper because instead of an actual AD chip with real code to figure margins for error and calculate a real hash it’s just some low-level logic to spit back a set value when nudged.

Should Cory have to sit in the corner for 20 minutes for calling installing an update ‘remotely bricking’ and inventing a conspiracy theory?

@AcerPlatanoides

Was i involved in that?

Doesn’t the response, “nah, you were cool” make the most sense?

@AcerPlatanoides

isn’t it pointless?

What is it about consumer electronics that makes some people tie more of their sense of identity into them than religion or politics?
