Super fun read. Reminds me of the old software cracking days… totally appreciate you sharing it, even though i likely will never have one of those AC units.

Glad you did! Nice read as well.

Hopefully this costs the company that tried to fleece you even more money in backlash and also as more people see that is possible to fix this.
