You are contradicting yourself permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 3 years ago (1 child) No, I’m actually not. Digital Rights Management has a specific meaning. Apple pairs devices to each other cryptographically, but it has nothing to do with managing rights. You have to contact them to assist you in pairing the devices to avoid warnings, just like a repair center does, but you are not actually activating them with Apple. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ReversalHatchery@beehaw.org 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) Oh, yeah, you are right. Sorry, I'm just too much used to calling DRM as Digital Restrictions Management. You have to contact them to assist you in pairing the devices to avoid warnings, just like a repair center does, but you are not actually activating them with Apple. Do you mean that the devices actually boot with the replacement parts, but they also show a warning about them? If so, did this change recently (as in, last few years), or was it always that way since digitally signed parts became a thing? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 3 years ago I don’t know if every replacement part is still bootable, but for some things it will boot up and warn you and disable some features like faceid. permalink fedilink source parent
