If you break the government's rules, that should be between you and the government. I shouldn't have to front the cost of any fines or otherwise be in the middle of it.

I believe you that that way works today, but once knowledge of it starts to spread, I expect Microsoft to break it, just like they previously broke Shift+F10 "oobe\bypassnro" and "start…

This story is exactly the reason to insist that: cars can be driven by people other than their owners.

100% agreed. Freedom of association should be exclusively a human right that corporations don't get. For them, I wish it were a privilege that scaled down with size and valuation, such that mul…

Most regulations aren't like this one, though. E.g., when RoHS passed, the government didn't go through everyone's houses to confiscate and destroy all old electronics that were made wi…

How is it "without evidence"? I can find plenty more articles about the same thing and no doubt whatsoever as to the veracity.

This would effectively ban open source 3D printers. Anyone who cares about open source should vote out any and all politicians who support this.

> The Archive has stuff from all of them, so there’s basically no place on Earth where it could work without tricks like the EDNS one. Isn't that true of archive.org as well? Why doesn't …

What specific part of regional compliance actually needs this, and why does no other website seem to need it?

tl;dw: Some ESP32-C3 chips have no built-in flash memory, and so require external flash to work. Unscrupulous sellers offer ESP32-C3 Super Mini boards with such chips, without adding external flash, a…
