Systems that provide an online account tied to a physical device have to be carefully designed for transfer of ownership scenarios, and it sounds like they didn't do the work here, or else something went wrong and the resulting error state is unfortunate.
- digi_owl 10y agoFrankly i suspect the devs never even contemplated a transfer of ownership scenario. The whole idea seems more and more foreign, or perhaps quaint, to the people involved in tech these days. tech is treated as something disposable, not something durable to transfer from person to person.
- HannibalLecter 10y agoMore like someone's boss said, "Why would we want to give them the ability to transfer ownership? Make them buy A NEW ONE!" Not considering the returns/exchanges scenario. Not considering the customer's advantage. Only considering profit. Same tune that will spell doom for humanity is the sound of gold coins in the coffers of lesser men.
