> You shouldn't be remotely disabling hardware features

I don't know what current case law is but I think that ought to be explicitly illegal. A physical product should be required to maintain the features that it had when it was purchased. Anything else is clearly cheating the consumer.

Arguably it's a CFAA violation, but that's not a law that will ever be used against a company.
