    Totally unenforceable. You going to prevent people from downloading open-source, noncompliant Linux from Asia or Europe? Good luck.

      They can certainly try. I don’t put it past them to create a great firewall. I don’t envy whoever has to maintain those blacklists though.

        Ill throw my data on an offshore vps, load my lappy up with a dummy normal looking win 11 install, and drive my ass across to Canada if it keeps getting worse.

        Fuck that.

            You guys lag behind in this sorta shit, I’ll have time to figure out somewhere else safe in the meantime.

            I’m not living in a place that will likely punish me for the type of medicine i take and also restricts my access to get it outside of the system.

      That’s the real plan, I suspect.

      Hopefully it works out where it just Kodak-Nokia’s the entire Microsoft share of the digital economy rather than gradually enforcing government ID checks for all future PC sales.

      Totally unenforceable

      I’d like to add, while it might be totally unenforceable, it provides a much more higher attack surface for the general populace allowing the authorities to abuse the system even further.
