Forcing them to use public standards and forbid them to develop their own? You can't possibly believe that, you're literally stifling innovation. A much better approach would be to force them to make their standards public.

However many monitors only implement part of the overall FreeSync spec. So when you buy a monitor with FreeSync, it might be fine from 1-60 fps, but 61-144 fps might have issues. So, how do you enforce that all "basics" are met? Consider the complexity of new technologies like Bluetooth 5 or Wifi 6 - even getting all the basics is a huge amount of work.
- ethbr0 6y agoThe proper place to do this is in building codes: forbid hardwiring of devices at build time that don't (at minimum) support a basic, local protocol and be cloud-disable-able. They can do whatever they want in addition to that, but table stakes or you aren't installable in a new build home.
