As a society we have already decided that manufacturers can't just configure the devices they sell however they feel like. One of the most obvious restrictions is on how they configure any radios. fouric is merely arguing that there should be another, and you're not responding to their points.

As such, your comments in this discussion, and this one in particular, do not appear to be in good faith.

Good example.

Hence why radios are kind of locked down to makers that could make use of illegal radio frequencies, some of which could even be damaging to human health.

My faith is that not everything with a CPU has to be open to install Linux on it.
