There is no legitimate security issue, it all about control over the supply chain, and sales.
I am generally anti-government, but I do think we need a Right to Repair laws to restore our property rights over the things we buy, companies should not be allowed to use software to lock us out of hardware we own. That is a violation of our natural rights IMO

- takeda 5y agoYes we need Rights to Repair and also heavy penalties for planned obsolesce. I had 2 CyberPower UPS purchased around same time. And both started malfunctioning within the same year, turning off and on by itself and having a long beep sound, despite battery being fine. We are concerned about environment, and global warming, yet they are forcing everyone to toss the device into a trash and get a new one.
