any chance people could click "+" on the "submission" button on this?
the FCC's screwed up - ignored comments from a bunch of experts - and
gone ahead "oh nooo nooo problemmm, nooobody will just lock down the
entire embedded OS" and of course that's exactly what TP-Link has
done, because it's the easiest thing to do.
this applies to embedded boards just as much. it's now a legal
requirement to DRM-lock the *entire OS* - kernel, bootloader, OS -
*everything* - on embedded boards that happen to have WIFI modules on
them.
