This is troubling:

Apple and Google already comply. The 600+ volunteer Linux distributions cannot. The compliance cost is zero for trillion-dollar platform companies and prohibitive for community projects. Both models passed with overwhelming bipartisan support. Both were supported by the major platform companies.

This is not a coincidence. This is a compliance moat.

The EFF calls this pattern "a windfall for Big Tech and a death sentence for smaller platforms."

Let them try to enforce it.

it's unrealistic and unenforceable, of course ... but concerning, nevertheless ...

US bans new foreign-made consumer internet routers

​

"Malicious actors have exploited security gaps in foreign-made routers to attack American households, disrupt networks, enable espionage, and facilitate intellectual property theft," the FCC said.

"The ban stems from growing concern over the last year that routers were a point of easy-access for malicious actors."

This has been known for at least 25 years.

I know this, because that is how long I've been building and running my own routers. On purpose.

 

The Government Doesn’t Just Want to Ban Ghost Guns. It Wants to Control Your 3D Printer


​

New laws are targeting not just 3D-printed weapons, but the digital files, platforms, and machines that create them, raising questions about innovation and who decides what can be made.

Colorado’s HB26-1144, on its way to the governor for his signature, takes a more direct route, criminalizing the manufacture of certain firearms and parts using 3D printing.

Actually, Colorado HB26-1144 goes even further than that, because the first thing it does is: "The act defines 3-dimensional printing to mean additive and subtractive manufacturing." Subtractive manufacturing is what you do with things like mills and lathes.

The notion of requiring printers to be able to detect that the current part being printed is part of a firearm is absurd at first blush.

And the cat is SO out of the bag!

You can build a 3D printer from scratch and the software to run it is already in the wild.

And people have been making zip-guns for the better part of a century using materials that are lying around most homes.

 

Ban the plumbing department.

That's fine. For you. But telling my stepmother that she has to build and run her own router is not a viable solution to the problem.

I can only do what's best for me, my business, and my personal friends, family, and associates.

I cannot save the world.
