which is at leat partially bullshit in this country - you can't sign away your statutory rights and a company can't avoid their legal obligations just by saying "we don't want to", and that includes consumer protection rights such as statutory warranties. replacing the firmware with third-party fw (cyanogenmod or something) may mean that getting tech support for the *software* is pointless or impossible, but the hardware is still covered by warranty, no matter what the corporation asking you to tick the acknowledgment checkbox wants you to believe. > and losing access to DRM-enabled components. yes, there's that as a bonus, too. craig -- craig sanders <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
