It's a warning to those who would likely just break their expensive controllers. Some people know stuff about electronics and can make custom parts and other things. It could spawn a cottage industry.

Do people really need a warning to know that they might break something if they open it up without knowing what they're doing?

[-] markz@suppo.fi 11 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, and there's nothing mixed about the messaging. If you know what you're doing, go ahead. If you don't, dont.

Usually compsnies would just say no to everyone and throw around words like "unauthorized".
