A group representing L. Ron Hubbard asked the Copyright Office to alter a repair exemption that makes it legal to hack Scientology’s E-Meter—and lots of other electronics, too.

Don’t know the first thing about these E-Meters but it’s really funny to me that they think tampering with the device could harm the Church’s reputation and goodwill. I wonder why that would be the case. If Apple doesn’t get a way out, neither does Scientology.

Here’s a video that goes into detail what is inside Mark-Super-7 E-Meter. https://piped.video/watch?v=N2O0oen6E90

The successor requires an online activation to be used. Unlike my UT81-B multimeter with integrated scope.

Btw i feel like we should make a mod for the E-Meter to allow users to plug in different probes to use them as proper resistance meters. You know, for the electrically inclined ex-scientologist.

Scientology might yet get a way out just because they are a religion legally.

Apple is still not a religion ? They do have enough zealots to qualify :D

They’re only considered a religion legally because they illegally infiltrated the IRS and intimidated them into giving them that status. Super messed up, read up on Operation Snow White if you aren’t already familiar.

Right to Repair

Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde “oem” parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.
