06:57.44 | DocScrutinizer05 | >>...the EU Radio Equipment Directive, which was passed into law back in 2014.<< |
07:00.26 | DocScrutinizer05 | the EU idiots again did f(XY)^-1. Like with vacuum cleaners which, instead of setting up a regulation that they must have a certain efficiency, they limited max power. |
07:04.08 | DocScrutinizer05 | with the (WLAN) RF stuff instead of defining "the device must guarantee that no user applied software modifications will impair the air protocol compliance" they did bullshit fuzzy blabla off-topic stuff like "in order to ensure that software can only be loaded into the radio equipment where the compliance of the combination of the radio equipment and software has been demonstrated" |
07:06.11 | DocScrutinizer05 | This means a device where software has no means to change the RF operation parameters nevertheless needs to "demontrate compliance", IOW you MUST NOT flash your own customer modified software even on devices that are not a software defined rafio at all |
