Also found this from someone involved in the hack: https://social.hackerspace.pl/@q3k/111528162462505087
This bit is pretty interesting:

Yes, he explains not only this but also other lock mechanisms in the talk.
For example, one based on datetime. It's quite crazy.

Thanks for the link, I was waiting for that talk.

This is very dystopian, having to hack a product because they dared to not use the official company workshop.

It is frightening because a company overstepped what is the free will of a public agency in doing what they want with their own property. I know this is much more already a reality in the US, but imagine if monopolistic companies alone could dictate to countries how laws should and shouldn't be.

Fines mean only to normalise and integrate this behaviours

Fuck fines

More than a fine, I would hope that whoever mandated such locks to be installed is arrested. I am sure some criminal charges can be found.

With the link you included, do you mean to say that your comment is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0? I have never seen anyone apply this to forum comments

Why would you? It's completely unenforceable in an anonymous forum. Maybe it's just for "news" outlets?
