Well that the end of that, they would never lie. BUUUUUUUTT just incase just have a 3rd party person review the code you sent out.

True. I wish expectations aligned more with this kind of practice... I see a lot of people thinking in binaries about these kinds of issues: that either we should just trust (insert company here) completely or distrust... People should learn to demand accountabillity and transparency instead of just eating corporate drivel or becoming skeptic of Anything Ever.

Brother printers do not intentionally degrade print quality based on whether a Brother Genuine or non-genuine ink/ toner cartridge is used. Brother cannot verify the quality of printing that will result when using a third-party compatible with a Brother printer.

Could you imagine if your PC refused to boot because you didn’t put Genuine OEM RAM in, instead using GSKILL?

I don't need to imagine, I've worked on enterprise gear like that.

Well for the RAM upgrade scenario, they solder the RAM directly on the motherboard so it’s nearly impossible to upgrade it, but as far as I know, they don’t prevent the machine from using it once it’s been upgraded.
