Feels like a drop in a river though. permalink fedilink source parent [–] DanceMomsSavedMe@lemmy.zip 4 points 22 hours ago* (1 child) I've often wondered about this, how much trouble would you get in for that? I suppose by the time you managed to get one to your country it wouldn't still be cost effective after the extra middle men? Idk like surely they don't have sniffer dogs for RAM in packages do they? If it was only a minor infraction with no jail time I'd seriously consider rolling the dice on it because I bet its like half the price of whatever equivalent they'll sell you in western countries. Can't do it with the cars but RAM seems do able for sure. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] plyth@feddit.org 2 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) You need a motherboard, too. With secure boot permanently activated you will only be allowed to run windows, which only runs on properly registered hardware. But then again, with your motherboard, how do you run the internet verification app if your operating system doesn't get the keys to log in? permalink fedilink source parent [–] daggermoon@piefed.world 1 point 18 hours ago So, I can't import it?
