There are also shops in China that will upgrade the SSD in a mac mini for cheaper and they will do all the work of the DFU restore etc.

And when the machine arrives back in the States, it even has a fresh CPC ROM soldered onto the back of the SOC!

Don't be rude, your NSA ROM gets lonely sometimes.

I feel that you're being downvoted by people who don't know history.

I'll add some references:

They know, they just wish it weren't true.

Same with the guy half-joking about Chinese malicious implants. Because of course China would never engage in espionage. It's interesting to note that he/she got downvoted a lot harder.
