How would this even be enforced?

From Lewis Rossmans bit on this from this morning, an internet connection and third party AI scanning tools.
So its a whole bucket of “fuck that noise”.

It can’t. They want to destroy 3D printers entirely.

it’s enforced by stopping most people from trying to get into making 3d printer software. Imagine if california made browser drm required: no more open source browsers

It’s probably just an extra charge they can throw at you if your house ever gets searched. Fuck hobby enthusiasts I guess

Not true (yet). Could be later, but for now, there’s no crime for circumvention.
