Because unless the screen displays what you want it to, it's useless?

- mikestew 5y agoOh, I see, you want to shame people for not seeing this coming. Never mind, I thought yours was an honest question.
- TedDoesntTalk 5y agoInteresting interpretation. Shame was not mentioned. What was mentioned: a workaround to a problem.

- mdoms 5y agoI don't think that's plausible considering the users knew they were "hacking" the machine to view this content. > But Howard, and many other NordicTrack owners, weren’t drawn to the hardware by iFit’s videos. They were drawn in by how easy the fitness machines were to hack. > To get into his X32i, all Howard needed to do was tap the touchscreen 10 times, wait seven seconds, then tap 10 more times. Doing so unlocked the machine—letting Howard into the underlying Android operating system. Personally, I would never purchase a device with a screen that intentionally locked me out like this.
