The weird bit is that our parent's generation is also the one that build the damn things in the first place!

Die richtige Antwort wäre wohl "Wow danke, gratis Kuchenzutaten!" oder man kauft sich halt weiter den abgestandenen Fertigkuchen im Supermarkt. 😄

Pretty good disclosure text. There are much bigger companies that don't manage to be this clear.

The only nitpick I have is saying "encypted" with bcrypt, even though they clearly know that bcrypt only hashes things.

Repairing things helps reduce the endless resource expediture and trash creation. Ice cream machines are just a random example. As you can read in the article they were going for much more, and more significant stuff, but got denied.

Ah this bit is sad. The exception only covers bypassing DMCA protections to fix your own stuff not distributing the tooling for it.

It is still a crime for iFixit to sell a tool to fix ice cream machines, and that’s a real shame. The ruling doesn’t change the underlying statute making it illegal to share or sell tools that bypass software locks. This leaves most of the repair work inaccessible to the average person, since the technical barriers remain high. Without these tools, this exemption is largely theoretical for many small businesses that don’t have in-house repair experts.

Except Battle for Wesnoth and Pingus.

Maybe OpenRCT and Osu! a little further down the line.

I know, that’s a lot better than many people that have been forced into 5 days a week or similar bullshit

I hope for your sake this isn't just their first test followed by an escalating series of demands :-/

As long as they are like von Stauffenberg I would be okay with it.

Good thing they get this stuff before the election. Imagine if Trump wins and somehow starts shielding Giuliani

I still got a Ryzen 1600, that would be just fine for when my flatmate needs a PC for working remotely, but his company reqires Windows 11 :-(

Schon seltsam, die verfolgen quasi das Kiffen oder den Grasbesitz extraterritorial.
