@FirewallDragons I think #RightToRepair must necessitate any #RightToModify, because #RepairReuseRecycle necessitates #Upcycling and thus using #AftermarketFirmware.

  • And the "legitimate objections" have long been adressed by #ETSI et. al. mandating a #Lockdown on #Baseband / #Wireless-Chipset firmware to "enshure compliance"...

Needless to say I think even that is overreach, as regulators like @BNetzA not only can but will enforce spectrum regulations and pursue violators by all legal means, so it's not as if there is a rampant flood of #SpectrumViolations amd no means to stop them - far from it.

  • Personally I want to see a mandate for the maximum possible extend of #maintainability and #modifyability only limited by legal (regulatory compliance) and technical limitations...

@peepstein Shure I could also DIY an AP, but I don't want nosy neighbours to snitch on me for having "illegally good wifi" reaching around the entire complex.

#BNetzA doesn't take #SpectrumViolations lightly nor do I want to get 3-5 digit fines for that.

In return, I've to agree with @tomlawrence that #Ubiquiti's #Routing and #VPN options for #unifi products are abysmal and sometimes even get beaten by cheap #CPE's like those from #AVM...

So "#ChooseTheRightToolForTheJob!"
