Okay, just so I understand this correctly. Suppose Provape opens up the firmware for those who like to tinker and puts up a warning that doing so can be unsafe and is at your own risk, someone can still sue them if they get hurt? Is that how it works in the US?
Unfortunately frivolous lawsuits are the norm in America. People sue companies for ANYTHING here!!

Oh, heck YES. America. Land of the free (to sue anyone for anything).

239 years today, and it was a nice run for awhile there.

I might sue DP for letting me sleep on a defective futon.

And you'd win! Even though you technically never did sleep on it, nor actually encountered it. The very thought of having to do so, and the mental anguish it created, clearly makes me libel.

Bitterballen, I need to find a really good recipe for gluten free Bitterballen. I fell in love with this delicious appetizer in the Dutch Antilles.

Lem! Maybe something productive for you here? Help a brother out.

Can you recommend a mod made in the Netherlands? I'd love to visit a thread if there is one.
ASML (a Dutch company) is the most advanced and largest manufacturer of lithography systems in the world. The ARM chip in the P3 is more likely than not made on a machine designed and built by ASML. You could say the P3 only functions the way it does because of the Dutch :pervy:
