> Security screws, in the >scenarios I typically encounter them, are there just to keep you from >servicing and modifying hardware you actually own,I would also assume that New Avalon has some fairly robust "right to repair" laws. If you want to sell, say, repulsorlifts, or omni-tools, or droids in New Avalon, you must provide the end-user or any third-party repairshop that requests it access to the firmware of said device, and you're also forbidden from designing the device to brick itself if someone swaps in a plasma coil with a higher induction rating because the plasma coil was made by Incom instead of the Corellian Engineering Corporation. I sometimes imagine what kind of regulatory hellscape the Corporate Sector must be like. The rent-seeking out there must get pretty nuts. I think about this kind of stuff a lot; I'm a huge Neal Stephenson fan because his books are full of what for lack of a better term I call "future logistics," actual in-depth examinations of what commerce, design, and law would be like in a sci-fi setting with weirdass technology. Discussions about how proprietary software licenses and unserviceable hardware interact with a world where you can install chrome into your own body are my jam. -Merc Keep Rat |
