This worked for me also. I ordered 5 acekard 2i's (at the same time, in the same order) from DX. All 5 arrived in the same envelope. 4 of the 5 updated with the normal acekard 1.4 update without issue. 1 of the 5 would not go past 0%. Updating that 1 out of 5 with the r4i fw update worked...
It's not the movies or games downloads that I would worry about, like breaking into networks, downloading encrypted things, spying on network traffic. I have seen so many "Top Secret" seals on files when I was a kid
I was obsessed with finding UFOs, a surprising amount of US files where stashed on computers in other countries, China back in the early 90s omg sooo much
