    Do you think age verification is being built into the firmware?

    Pardon me, but do have a quote from any of these links that actually talks about age verification? I skimmed through them and didn’t find anything substantial

    Just like Alcohol & Guns, in order to activate these vendor locked motherboards + CPUs, sellers will be required to attestate proper identification in order to unlock these killswitched devices.
    All they are waiting on is for the masses to accept buying these. Otherwise you will not be able to compute.

    Unless we all collectively operate a fabrication facility, you will have no options.

    The firmware gotta somehow interact with the userspace right? What if we just switched to FreeBSD or some other OS?
