Mixed feelings. I understand chip makers wanting to have some ability to deny a warranty on an abused product. That fuse blown does not mean Abuse. It just shows some overclocking.
I am more concerned about data collection in modern cars. The Government can order the car manufactures to allow access to your car's parameters. Speed, GPS locations, driving patterns etc.
Total Can of Worms!

Beginning to think we as a society need to stop holding peoples hands and start letting a few decades of natural selection take course....people are being more and more stupid w/o it.

Who in their right mind... no. On second thought, don't actually answer that question.

like any vents pushing air out of any device, there's a chance of micro levels of toxic fumes, dust, or impurities that would probably be better not directly inhaled into your lungs.

I've heard NASA refers to this as "effluent" and has strict limits on what & how much electronics aboard the International Space Station can emit, due to it being a closed system with limited air filtration capabilities.

Since most of these are probably children, no.

Kids' brains aren't sufficiently developed either to know everything they ought to about keeping themselves safe, or to make the same quality risk assessments as adults. They do need & deserve more protection from harming themselves.

Anyone doing something "trendy" on TikTok deserves all the bad that can come from it. Absolute pure garbage!!

Remove the warning labels and let nature sort it out.
