I'll answer the, "Does disabling it void your warranty?" question. The answer is almost always "no". Unless the modification you make to something actually directly or indirectly caused damage to it, companies in the US cannot "void the warranty".
- lesuorac 2y agoI'm sure the company will argue the warranty is voided akin to how trucks have "not liable for damage from rocks" or w/e (they are). IIRC, this is under the Magnuson-Moss act but I didn't find it when skimming wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnuson%E2%80%93Moss_Warranty_Act https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnuson%E2%80%93Moss_Warranty...
- shakna 2y agoThis is usually side-stepped by being a violation of Terms of Service, which is a much lower legal hurdle. The warranty is intact, but the device is bricked, because it can't bypass any of the authentication that is required to do... Pretty much everything.
