- Aurornis 11d agoI prefer to stay grounded in the reality of how the world works when responding to questions about legalities.
- smilespray 11d agoWhat you said isn't true for quite a few countries.
- iso1631 11d agoThat's quite possible, but could you name a couple where locking a raspberry pi type of computer would be illegal?
- smilespray 11d agoEU Right to Repair Directive specifically prohibits manufacturers from using HW/SW locks or firmware limits to block part replacement.
- Aurornis 11d agoThe part can be replaced with the same part to repair the item. This is not locked.
- smilespray 11d agoPart locking against unoriginal parts is prohibited in the EU.
- asdfasgasdgasdg 11d ago"Each chip is programmed with the timing settings and storage size settings of just the RAM we ship it with, and doesn't know how to boot with anything else." I don't know if you could call that "blocking." I mean you could call it that but I don't know if that's legally what it would be.
