Comment on Is this the end of Bootloader Unlocking in the EU?
FauxLiving@lemmy.world 3 days agoAny device that transmits radio frequencies wont be able to be sold in the EU.
The only way a manufacturer can be sure that won’t happen is to create their hardware such that it isn’t usable unless it can be sure its in an environment which won’t do that.
Currently, that would mean a machine running Secure Boot and Windows 11 using driver signing.
Linux wouldn’t be able to fake the verification to the hardware, due to not having the keys, and so could not create drivers for any hardware designed this way.

Oh yeah, almost certainly; and software defined radios of all types.
