An uncertified device can no longer be … used
Oh, fuck. Call the French, they have the most active civil society that actually can burn a thing or two during a week or two. That is the craziest law ever, denying the most basic human rights! That is literally a prohibition of DIY of any kind.

Yes. I guess no more nine volt batteries in Europe. Or maybe we should focus on banning the sale of assorted lengths of wire.

I’ve read once that the reason Eltz castle in Germany (a kinda often encountered on the Web nice-fantasy-looking piece of fortification) was spared by the French because one of the family members was a French officer. There’s plenty of ruins around.
OK, speaking about protest - you guys are also known for the Napoleon code, the guillotine, the freedom-equality-brotherhood stuff, de Saint-Exupery, so mostly good things. I mean, there are also de Sade and Dienbienphu, but shutting up.
