> [W]ould it make sense for this to also have such a mechanism for vendors to opt their devices out of the web? *Personally*, I don't think we should go there. Printer manufacturers [opt out](https://www8.hp.com/us/en/hp-news/blog/Small-Business-Printing/best-possible-printing-experience2.html) their printers from being used with third-party cartridges, phone manufacturers [opt out](https://mspoweruser.com/apple-right-to-repair-iphone-12-camera/) their phones from being repaired by third-parties,… The list goes on. Makers should be able to access the devices they own by whatever technical means, be it via the original software, or via a home-brew Web-based tool. Will this void the warranty? Maybe. But it should be possible. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
