Eu to make Apple open up operating system to rival tech (link added forgot to include it this morning)
(apnews.com)
An erra is to come to an end as the Eu says enough is enough and introduces new rules and hefty fines.
I would love if device makers were forced to open up their hardware to other OSs. Unlockable bootloaders for all as well as allowing users to install their own signing keys so secure boot can remain enabled.
Granted, there would still be black box firmware required to use half the components inside, but that's another battle.
This should be a right of the consumer that purchased the hardware. Same goes for gaming consoles. You used to be able to officially install Linux on a PlayStation.
"But we're selling the hardware at a loss, so letting you own what you paid for would break our crappy business model" /s
That didn’t force Value to lock down the Steam Deck.
