@codemonkeymike@fosstodon.org @aglimme@mastodon.online I'm going to go even further: e-waste is a much bigger problem than MacBook theft. Right to repair should be universal.

@Gargron@mastodon.social @codemonkeymike@fosstodon.org @aglimme@mastodon.online If this was really about theft, then a user with a stolen macbook would be able to use it to contact the owners for purposes of return.

@Gargron@mastodon.social @codemonkeymike@fosstodon.org @aglimme@mastodon.online the one reason to password lock the bootloader would be to DETER theft if people know it will be useless to them to steal it. But there should definitely be an option given to the device owner to disable this.
