Re: Remember the FCC wifi connector directive?
ah yes, I remember that.
On a related topic, I own an HP netbook which is crippled by the lack of a decent dual band or even 3G card despite having the slot to install it.
HP have seen fit to lock the BIOS so not only does it refuse to recognize an identical card that wasn't shipped with the machine (also from an HP) but it will not POST properly if the wrong card is in the slot.
It would be trivial to write a piece of malware that maliciously rewrites this information thus DDoSing a whole range of such machines running Windows 10 or otherwise.
Are they going to be checking for "Evil" (tm) modifications at borders, so that $50 hacked netbook might get you fined or at worst imprisoned just because you decided to cheap out and not buy the FCC approved $999.95 NSA certified Windows 10 Extra Added Spyware (tm) with new improved 20 minute battery life thanks to the IATA approved NiCads.
