I wonder if it was possible to build chips in a way that they could disable themselves if used in a way not approved of by the manufacturer. Perhaps a set of pre-generated keys that have preset validity times. You would then need to contact

This does seem a bit like throwing the baby out with the bath water but it’s understandable that the kernel project doesn’t have the resources for a more granular approach when even large organizations struggle with this problem. I’m always

Fair point. I think it would still be a net gain for society, at the very least open source would get a boost.

IBM still sells CPUs based on the PowerPC (now Power ISA) architecture. AMD doesn’t need to die for x86 to become irrelevant.
