If anyone had the sense to make a law forcing the modem processor and peripherals to be fully documented with all registers, protocols, API, architecture, and a reproducible toolchain for compiling the software, we might just have a sustainable future. Governments and large corporations already require this level of accountability for what they purchase and use. Anything less than this level of support and transparency is exploitive theft of ownership. Retaining any digital rights for any products sold is criminal theft.
Lol, as if any of those people have an idea of what these words even mean.
Sure they do. “This is theft. We don’t like theft. Stop theft by doing what we demand.”
I was referring to the first part of your post regarding the law enforcing doxumentation.
Oh god, my heart skipped a beat because I thought they meant like AA batteries or something, whew
what’s wrong with AA batteries tho? easily swappable, hot spares, rechargable, interchangable with other devices
Only 1.5 volts.
Steam deck would need 10 AA
Or an external Powerpack, like the GameGear had 😵💫
