Gives me memories of heating the tamper-evident sticker with a hairdryer to open up my xbox 360 so that I could flash DVD drive firmware so that I could load... backups as a child who couldn't afford games.
That xbox took forever to save for, so voiding the warranty wasn't an option. Luckily, the ole hairdryer defeated the tamper evident destruction of the sticker.
I love things like that. Microsoft pays for manufacturing of a security sticker to prevent tampering. On a device that runs a hypervisor (wild at the time) to prevent tampering.
And some dude on the internet realizes that you can just heat it up with a hair dryer and carefully peel it back with tweezers, than flash firmware to your DVD drive that reports "yep, this is an official Xbox 360 disk" to the locked-down-and-totally-secure OS.
