       As hardware makers lock bootloaders to comply with the EU Radio Lockdown Directive, it threatens the installation and future development of free software ROMs projects: https://u.fsf.org/48k

       @fsf Clarification for those that only read popular headlines. The EU Radio Lockdown Directive does not in any way specify that hardware makers should lock down their bootloaders. On the contrary, it specifically points out it should not be used as an excuse to do just that.The baseband (radio) part of a mobile phone is protected by other means than the bootloader for the general OS, and has so been for many years.

       @fsf > law requires them to ensure the radio module firmware complies with the frequency usage regulations> Manufacturers lock the bootloaderYeah, confusing the warm with the soft when it seems somewhat more profitable as it gives phone makers more control. Classic
