Home Depot selling power tools that require activation. If it's stolen it won't work.

This is a straight up joke. This will get blowback from legit tradesmen and DIYers.

Bad solution to a real problem. This is likely a direct response to the new California laws that allow niggers to loot without getting into trouble. Now the rest of us have to be inconvenienced because of nigger behavior, typical degradation of the quality of life.

a better solution would be to shoot the niggers

As long as their net work isn't more than $750.

activated at the register via Bluetooth technology.

So, does this mean they can also be deactivated via bluetooth?

not necessarily. but keep in mind that bluetooth has a range of like 30 feet so it's not like they can beam your saw off because you posted wrongthink on the internet.

they can make it expire and make you go to the store every 30 days to confirm your rightthink tho

if you buy it under those terms you deserve it

They could however use your phone to do it.

hopefully not, anything other than a one-time activation has the potential to brick randomly and increase support costs

I've seen 3 different power tool assortments for sale on Craigslist and Marketplace this week - with no batteries and chargers.

What legitimate seller would try to sell tools without batteries and chargers?

I am about to sell off what's left of my Ryobi power tools. The batteries do eventually die and stop working. I went Milwaukee after watching Project Farm's review on batteries.

Do niggers ever shop at home depot?..because niggers dont use power tools or any tools.. they would require them to be productive.

yeah?

JB Hifi sells computer games in boxes that dont say 'steam version' but when you get it home it doesnt have a disk in it. then you go to install it and use the activation key and steam, a dodgy online reseller and social media spammer tells you jb hifi a legitimate long term retail store who have been around for 45 years are selling you stolen products that they absolutely are not.

I remember when activation keys first became a thing. I would buy PC games, use the code, install the game, then return it to the dumb retailer who didn't know any better. Good way to get free retail games.

Nowadays activating games is hacked out in a few days. I don't understand why they keep running DRM shit in any software product at this point. I remember when M$ said Office 2019 cracked versions won't ever accept a software update. Updated mine yesterday.
