The end of Android sideloading?

You can thank California and AB 1043.

Wait until you have to upload a picture of your driver's license before your internet router will work. It's gonna really play havoc with Linux.

I hope this gets struck down this fall - the law is well intentioned, but written so poorly it functionally cripples everything. Gonna be like Prop 65 where everyone will just have some disclaimer "Not for use in California" and companies will do some lame attempt half-hearted at geoblocking IPs from downloading so they won't get sued by professional claimjumpers.
