[07:29:45] <kyonko> dystopia news
[08:47:15] <Ingar> We sell some software that ties its license to some "Machine ID"
[08:47:31] <Ingar> apparently it includes something BIOS-based, every time windows runs a bios update it invalidates the license
[09:21:22] -!- kyonko has quit [Quit: Going offline, see ya! (www.adiirc.com)]
[11:23:15] <chromas> Good thing generating new loicenses is free
[18:41:51] <Ingar> it's not our software :p
[18:43:26] <AlwaysNever> BIOS updates are not a problem for "mature" laptops, like my Dell Latitude D630 or my MacBook Pro 2015 - but the unsuspecting general public is ripe for a lot of pain
[18:44:22] <Ingar> business prebuilts, it's ok
[18:44:54] <Ingar> Obviously, I wouldn't want that on my self-built boxen
[18:45:02] <Ingar> which reminds me
[18:45:05] <Ingar> Fuck You ASUS
[18:45:26] <Ingar> Thank you for your attention
[19:41:32] <AlwaysNever> "Thank you for your attention (in this matter)", hahahaha, very Trump style!
[20:10:15] <janrinok> I noticed that as well :)
[20:12:00] <Ingar> yw ;-)
[23:19:50] <chromas> Whew! I thought I was gonna have to get through the whole day without reading his name. You guys saved me. Thanks
