Your loss. If you don’t void the warranty you aren’t using a product to its full potential. Besides, I trust the Fuckatron Pro firmware written by some unemployed kinkster in their basement infinitely more than I trust the firmware written by Fuckatron when it comes to not fucking me in ways that aren’t fun (subscriptions that make it stop working if you don’t pay, buggy user interface, cloud-based voice recognition for safeword detection which is laggy, error-prone, and privacy invasive… the chip they put in there has an onboard NPU! They could’ve just used that! And the third party firmware does!)
Software made by fans, for fans is always better. No doubt about it.
However, for the rare case when something might go wrong, I like to have a direct target I can sue, for comfort.

You know what, that’s honestly fair
