    I’m actually aware of the difference, but would also argue that this difference isn’t that big. If you have to bypass security mechanisms to be able to use hardware as you please, that doesn’t sound to me like you actually own it.

      I mean yeah. Game consoles are DRM-riddled computers shackled into being toys. Being able to crack one open and turn it into something that can be used in non-manufacturer-approved ways is a cool scene in its own right.
