Damn I know hindsight is 20/20 but I feel like you could have just ran some wires yourself (it’s pretty easy tbh) with how much effort you went through to avoid it.

But yeah I hear you on network stuff in general. I know a little about that stuff and it still is basically magic to me. Sometimes I swear my modem and router just choose to misbehave until I give them a little reset. I think they might be alive…

Wow I never knew about the AACS encryption key stuff.

I’ve always wondered how much piracy really hurts companies or individuals. I mean, it seems to me even with piracy happening these corpos are making bank.

Razer, in my (very dated by now tbh) experience has really bad quality control but if you get a good one it’ll last for a long time. My mouse is 15 years old now and still working. Conversely my keyboard from them stopped working a little after the one year mark.

Idk seems that way for a lot of companies nowadays. Cheap out on QC and parts, hope people don’t bother contacting your support and if they do it’s cheaper to just replace some stuff and use a cheap 3rd party support center vs actually making sure the product is not a lemon.
