My counterfeit Dell charger (with 1Wire) just died after working great for 2 years (although yes, it was probably dangerous). Because of DRM I couldn't attach the plug to a different power supply (as shown to me by an EE I trust). Now I'm in the crappy situation of either rewarding Dell by buying a safe adapter, or taking my business elsewhere with another counterfeit, which might burn my house down.
