This isn't CNC machine blocking, it is CAD shape blocking. You can just feed your CNC machine GCode you generated in any non internet connected toolpath generator. Or if you are desperate hand write your gcode, like the old days.

I still don’t understand why they let budget bills get stuffed with unrelated laws. Seems like those should be separate bills, not hidden in must pass legislation.

From the actual bill:

HOWEVER, THAT IF THE WORKING GROUP DETERMINES THAT IT IS NOT TECHNOLOGICALLY FEASIBLE TO REQUIRE THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTERS SOLD IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK TO INCLUDE BLOCKING TECHNOLOGY, THE WORKING GROUP SHALL SO REPORT, AND NO REGULATIONS SHALL BE REQUIRED TO BE PROMULGATED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION, UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE WORKING GROUP DETER- MINES THAT IT IS TECHNOLOGICALLY FEASIBLE.

Considering the number of open source 3d printers, and mills, plus conversion packages for manual mills, It's ludicrous to assume it's feasible. And NY has nowhere near the manufacturing monopoly to force the rest of the country, let alone the world, to comply with a demand that all of them have blocking systems.

Even given the safety check of a working group, this same bill also makes a stick illegal. So it's more than likely to fail on a few challenges, assuming it even makes it to final vote in this form.

Oooh, Louis Rossman is going to be PISSED * grabs popcorn *

Even if something like this were to actually come to fruition, I have to imagine that all it would really result in is kind of like when the EU used to have less strict guidelines on wireless technologies and in America you could just flash the European firmware to get longer range. Surely there will just be a New York specific firmware and then you can flash the firmware from somewhere else.

Because they do not want you fixing things you own, they do not even want you owning things you own. They just want you working until you are so exhausted you cannot think and spending everything you earn. A population that is practically incompetent does not have the tools to revolt.

Haven't watched the video, but how does this work out in practice?

How can a CNC differ between my own design and a design I've got from a homepage?

Also, how can they block me from sharing my designs for fixing something on a device?

I'm a quite flabbergasted how this should work

Or is there no practical mechanism, only the law that makes everything illegal I try to fix?
That would also be quite an asshole move, but who cares, when I fix a broken hinge in an old appliance?
As long as I don't return it for warranty, the producer has pretty much no say, what I do with my fucking stuff...?

get back to work slaves!!

I thought that New York with Mamdani would not do such things?

How did this happen?

You realize the world is headed to a completely owned format that is constantly surveiled, and pretty soon our computers, phones, and everything electronic will just be screens that stream content or subscriptions from government owned data centers right?

This post isn't even a joke.

Our entire existence is going to be a tiered digital subscription plan. Regardless of left or right politics, because they are just two different sides of this monsters brain.

God is dead. And we lived for and paid the organizations to keep killing it.

I wounder what this proressive democrat turd has got to say. They keep killing industries and shoving chatgipity in everything. They are deskilling america and this fool argues with silly fascist online.
