I’ve a list of all the drugs I know from commercials - started writing a song about them all, just need to get the bridges done between verses.


Ever listen to the voice over in the commercials for <insert name of drug you don’t need>?
After telling you how much better the drug is than the competitor, but before imploring you to “ask your doctor if <$1> is right for you”, they list the side effects, which often include a worsening of the condition it treats as well as death, all while a bunch of actors get paid to show you what the best scenario looks like.
It’s the same thing, but for illiterate hypochondriacs.
So reading the commentary in the first link, if you flash your printer with new GPL firmware that bypasses these restrictions, you’re now in violation.
And what if I move (back) to WA with my printer purchased out of state that I’ve already modded?
I see what they’re trying to do, make ghost gun production illegal, but turning makers into criminals for flashing their printers with new firmware seems the wrong way.
