What in the actual fuck! I laughed so hard at this video just to watch in disgust how the DCMA and it's lackey GH would take down a repo that has nothing to do with Casio other than the name perhaps. Where is the freedom to tinker? If I modify my Toyota Corolla to take a Ferrari engine would Ferrari or Toyota come to my house and take my car away?

The right to repair (and mod) has been a part of contemporary car culture for around a century (at least in the US), and it's also why there is a huge aftermarket for it. If anything, I think Tesla is currently the only automaker who would disapprove.
