      Yes, he explains not only this but also other lock mechanisms in the talk.

      For example, one based on datetime. It’s quite crazy.

    This is very dystopian, having to hack a product because they dared to not use the official company workshop.

      It is frightening because a company overstepped what is the free will of a public agency in doing what they want with their own property. I know this is much more already a reality in the US, but imagine if monopolistic companies alone could dictate to countries how laws should and shouldn’t be.

      More than a fine, I would hope that whoever mandated such locks to be installed is arrested. I am sure some criminal charges can be found.

        Why would you? It’s completely unenforceable in an anonymous forum. Maybe it’s just for “news” outlets?
