It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Thanks for the warning, what's their deal exactly?

They basically don't want you to fix anything, instead they want you to send it to their repair shop (not even to third party repair shops). They don't have the safest design. both in terms of the internal components and the software. They also tried to sue every single company that came out with a similar product
