I found that funny too. It sounds to me like a good way to end up with the device to analyze without being constrained by a contract or EULA prohibiting it.

Yes, it's known as a euphemism. TFA just took the joke to hilarious extremes with the photos.

TFA? I know you're referring to Moxie (somehow) but I can't figure out the acronym.

IIRC "The Fucking Article". I think the expletive originally was because people "wouldn't read TFA", but eventually it just kinda became the way to refer to the article linked from a Hacker News thread.

Also can be "the fine article" when used in a non-antagonistic way!

I think it originated with "RTFM" which was an old unix admin way of saying read the fucking manual (or man page).

Yes RTFM I'm very familiar with, which is why I should've connected the two.
