Yeah I would say hard no! It’s probably some kind of pirated software. I would not trust it to program/update modules. Because if something goes sideways then you’ve potentially bricked a module. It’s tempting I know. I found that site awhile back but it’s just too cheap. And having a legitimate subscription as I do I also know that if I don’t use FDRS for a couple days or whatever then it takes back to a login screen. So I don’t know how they get around that. Anyway. I would just be super careful.
I'd wager it's something to do with international stuff. US and EU pay premiums for software where other markets its stupidly cheap. I've had a source for legit software keys (as in calls home to activate / validate software obtained from the software company directly) and they're a few $ a piece, even when the same software is on store shelves for $300+.
Its not about the internet access/public wifi, its about dropping a virus/trojan on your laptop by any means by these perpetrators.
Well not using home / business wifi is a way to keep a potentially malicious device from being able to access other devices on the wifi that may not have strict security. Another vector is being able to 'cast' something to a 'smart' device, ie: out of nowhere your TV could suddenly start playing something you wouldn't care to see, let alone family / friends / and particularly, children. Furthermore it could, if left on, turn itself into a VPN thus allowing someone to basically tunnel into the laptop and then use your location's internet as their own. From there they can do any number of illegal activities that'd then see the relevant authorities come snooping around. aka the laptop could potentially become part of a botnet or any number of things.
