They have been making their own x86 knock-offs for a while now, but not at the same scale as the “regular” - i.e. they’d been doing it at 14nm or so, so less efficient.

I don’t know if they have better fab process since then, and for how big a scale.

how do you “register” your esim?

You could just block most of the internet services - gmail, youtube, facebook etc under these rules, and then wreak havoc. I bet they’d roll back these laws in record time if someone pushed them to the limits :/
