Its not the EU’s job to buy your products. The reason doesn’t matter. If they don’t want your shit they won’t buy your shit.
Be better. Make a product people want at a price they’re willing to pay. Stop whining.
Also maybe don’t alienate the entire world then get mad that nobody will talk to you on the playground.
You rolled in this shit. Now you can either clean it up or accept the consequences.











HDMI has an Ethernet channel builtin to it. This was designed along with the audio return channel and the remote channel to make it so you only need one cable between your smart devices.
Its lovely really, other than the privacy concerns. USB-c takes it one step further and let’s you power devices over the data cable. So you might really only need one cable to link all your devices.
I’ve been worried about the data over HDMI standard for a while, but I don’t think many devices implement it. At some point there probably should be a revision to the standards (if there isn’t one already) to require pairing permissions in the next version. Otherwise manufacturers will eventually start using this back channel to spy on customers, even when you don’t enable WiFi on the television.
