My new unethical service is cracking "locked" Macbooks with the T2 chip using Checkm8. I am being paid 100$ per unlock by some people who I do not care where they bring the Macs from. I am not sure if the security chips are a solution as long as there is some sort of security hole to break them. Now if they had a BIOS that only started with the recognition of the owner's fingertip on the other hand...

I find it pretty amusing that your last post was advocating for why we should hire you :D

Still, a modicum of respect for being upfront about it. And it shows they at least still consider the ethics of their actions, as opposed to turning a blind eye to it.
