Clearly that just makes you a USELESS Smartass then rather than a troll :palm:
IQ's also come in Ceramic encapsulation along with metal and these total likely way less than 1% of use cases in modern devices. If there is a Metal Case no way I would be hitting the likely delicate internals with anything but TLC and extreme care.

Have you quite finished? You are free to ask questions but not dictate what the responses are. / end of moderator comment.
Protecting from reverse engineering is almost pointless as I told my employer when I came up with an idea that was simple. If the product is that simple why even bother to reverse engineer it? Just design something that does the same and make it cheaper...... you can design stuff faster than you can reverse engineer unless it is some real gem of technological breakthrough.
What also makes a product unique and not worth copying is your position in the market. Is it niche, if it is then there is not much point putting the effort into reversing it or replicating the same functionality. Bit of sand paper on the end of a finger is all you need.
If the device has code then just lock access to the chip. Then most won't even bother and those that will, it will be pointless trying to stop....
