I don't think many have ever applauded people complaining that products designed, marketed, and sold for one purpose are not fit for some other purpose, but rather for making them work anyways.
- bayindirh 4y agoMany do applaud the people who jailbreak iOS, unlock game consoles and android phones by major manufacturers, reverse engineer systems to add features they need or repurpose old/legacy or bleeding edge systems to do what they need. We everyday try to convince people that hacking is not malicious by nature, but means to make things do things which are not designed to do out of the box. Every day, everywhere, incl. this very site. Which is called Hacker News, BTW.
