KH Guardian takes it a step further. If you use non-genuine reagent, it bricks your machine and you have to send it back to the company to have it unlocked. For you safety and to protect the machine from malfunction they say :p No one has fully figured how it knows, but the reagent has a green tint that the machine someone reads to determine if it's genuine.

There’s a straightforward way of making sure everyone uses your own reagent if what you really care about is safety and quality. Just sell the reagent at cost, cheaper than it would be worth any 3rd party to sell it for so that the reagents are not part of the revenue stream, just the unit is. Problem solved.

I bought one second hand and that's the reason I would never ever ever recommend it to someone. I get the desire to make a buck, but there couldn't be a better justification for things like right to repair or open source.

If the buying market was bigger I'd try and organize a class action lawsuit. Shadiest thing I've ever encountered.

If someone watches this can you give the rest of us an update? I miss the days when companies would update you with a sentence of text instead of a long meandering video
