OK but my tool still stolen it just means that the other guy can’t use it to

100%
If they KNOW what they're doing THIS IS STUPID.
ITS A LAME EXCUSE POWER GRAB!

[@MNNski]

Sounds great until a firmware update makes it believe it's stolen and disables the tool during important work.

[@HouseCallAutoRepair]

Making it so that ONLY certain "specialist" will be allowed to do certain repairs.
Purely screwing the little guy.
This is bullshit. These effort screws US, NOT the thief!

Wow, you are going to go all out pretending like this is an actual problem and not just a money-grab. . . So today you STILL lose a $1000 tablet and tomorrow they’ll come back for your truck or you. Exactly who is it that we are helping here?

[@oddmanout7755]

What are you going on about?

[@Noname-km3zx]

You can just make your own server and give the tool the correct responds, it's hard but i and many people can do it. ps. that's how windows 10/11 is cracked.

[@scientist100]

Indeed, this guy is trying really hard to convince people but actual criminals are still going to work around it.

[@1windozesuk]

Theoretically. There needs to be enough people with the skills motivated to do so. Even a lot of software favorable to devs that do this, still have not been cracked. So I don't really see the demand for that to be there. But, yes it can be done, but will it?

Why not rip the chip out and put a dumb switch back into it? Is the motor itself locked out? Idk i feel like any 3rd year apprentice could rewire a tool
