Haha that last part is pretty wild. rather than worrying about systemic problems in the entire internet let's just make mandates crippling devices that China, where all these devices are made, will defffinitely 100% listen to. Sure, seems reasonable. Systems that rely on the goodwill of the entire world to function are generally pretty robust, after all.
If they don’t then the devices are not sold in the United States. It’s quite simple.
Great to know that smuggling hardware into the US has been completely stopped.
If the analysis above is accurate, a few smuggled devices would not be an issue, as long as the zillions of devices sold at Walmart are compliant.
Congratulations on the creation of a thriving new black market in which the main beneficiary is organized crime! What could go wrong?
