Don't buy it! (Score: 1) by gravis@pipedot.org on 2015-04-23 12:42 (#7NFJ) If there is product with a black box of secrets, the answer is to simply not buy it. If you buy something with a black box, don't complain when they do something bad to you, reverse engineer it or buy something without a black box. There is almost nothing that doesn't have an open and free or reverse engineered alternative. The general populace started the PC revolution with proprietary everything and we are still working hard to undo that mistake. Re: Don't buy it!

I can't think of a single automobile on the market that doesn't come with enough chips, sensors, and electronics to choke a donkey. Re: Don't buy it!
