Age verification started with porn and social media. Now, governments are passing laws requiring operating systems to collect your age before you can use your computer at all.
Pardon me, but do have a quote from any of these links that actually talks about age verification? I skimmed through them and didn’t find anything substantial
Just like Alcohol & Guns, in order to activate these vendor locked motherboards + CPUs, sellers will be required to attestate proper identification in order to unlock these killswitched devices.
All they are waiting on is for the masses to accept buying these. Otherwise you will not be able to compute.
Unless we all collectively operate a fabrication facility, you will have no options.
Huh?
You own and operate thyne hardware’s firmware?
Do you think age verification is being built into the firmware?
I know so.

The firmware gotta somehow interact with the userspace right? What if we just switched to FreeBSD or some other OS?
Theres gotta be some way to weasel trough this.
In the locked UEFI, sure…
By holding corporations accountable?
