Just like Alcohol & Guns, in order to activate these vendor locked motherboards + CPUs, sellers will be required to attestate proper identification in order to unlock these killswitched devices.
All they are waiting on is for the masses to accept buying these. Otherwise you will not be able to compute.
Unless we all collectively operate a fabrication facility, you will have no options.
You own and operate thyne hardware’s firmware?

I know so.

Theres gotta be some way to weasel trough this.
In the locked UEFI, sure…
