Besides getting an IP address for geolocation, this approach would enable manufacturers to put a subscription on the features as well. Require users to provide a government issued ID that matches the name on the credit card used. VPN! I hear you cry. But the driver is already running pretty close to the hardware, so good luck hiding a VPN client. So while you can't guarantee a street address accuracy, you can get country and overall regional subdivision. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [+] perestroika@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent
