Not going to teach people how to launder money, but one of the avenues that can be used to get a respectable transaction is to overpay from a dirty bank account to a credit card, and then the financial institution will credit into the users clean bank account which will raise less flags then a direct transfer. This is just one step in a process, and not even sure it works anymore. But many banks would rather just not deal with it.

It’s to stop money laundering

Wait do they not have these anymore? I don’t think I’ve been to a pizza hut in 30 years. Pizza was meh, but solid salad bar back in the day

I agree they won’t care about 1 stock, but the board absolutely cares if many people start selling below what they believe to be market value

Noone is saying it should be outlawed. What they are saying is that in order for a device to be considered highly repairable to an end user this type of check should be able to be turned off or not included.

You cannot and that’s ok. The problem here is people have different levels of risk acceptance and that’s ok. If I was a government or corporate leader I would probably prefer buying direct from apple, but most end consumers, especially those who want to do these repairs should have the choice to accept that risk on a device that they own. The manufacturer shouldn’t decide who I trust. The owner should.

Thanks every couple of months I see an xkcd and think haven’t read that in a while, then I get to go catch up. Today was a good day

Rip way too young
