Dynamic sub-gHz: Often used to unlock cars or garage doors as a "secure password"

Doing some research I heard that replaying expired sub-gHz codes can effectively disable that device. Good, I won't be the "muh freedom" who hurts myself with some GitHub custom when Flipper Devices Inc. only wanted to protect me. Even if there are legit uses for this, it doesn't seem worth handing out to just anyone.

I've ruled out misuse as a concern as they've officially clarified Flipper to be physically unable to steal cars regardless of software. Flipper also officially allows copying card keys and stuff.

While it has shaped how I think about post-scarcity society IRL, I've always found it strange out of all possible outcomes.

Objection: At least some people are naturally motivated to be productive, this being true even of the Eldar e.g the Ai'elethra. Whether this alone could protect us from an Ancient Eldar outcome if we had post scarcity tech remains an open question.

Factors I can think of

- Brain drain/evaporative cooling: The culture of the Path Craftworlders and in a darker way the Haemonculi strongly implies this is where all their artists and scientists went, leaving only the laziest, most self-destructive Eldar on their mainland planets.

- Forced immortality + extreme emotions: Exhausting every experience led some to otherwise unpleasant activities simply as the lesser evil against withdrawal. Why couldn't they just do something productive? Next point...

- Cultural conditioning: Given how long the period lasted, I'm sure there were Eldar trained from birth to find passive consumption morally good, with the fact the naturally productive went away in cruisers "proof" that was an outdated way of thinking. Anyone who wanted to create and achieve for its own sake was heavily shamed and perhaps even witch hunted for "dragging us back to the bad old days" or whatever. This would also synergize with Brain drain.

One day staff will manually add ghibli films to the Anime Cascade at your request, the next they'll remove some Western TV shows you also asked them to add. I blame individual staff having too much power, with different ones feeling differently about the issue.

Never doing add requests again.

I managed to add some anime movies to the Anime Cascade by emailing the staff to add them, so then I tried adding some TV shows to the TV collection.  This time a staff member took them down and accused me of violating the ToS: "It appears that the materials you have uploaded violate the Terms of Use: rights violations. Sorry but the account must remain permanently locked".  This message appears mis-addressed or fraudulent as I'm still able to bookmark stuff, nor have they wiped my current book uploads. If they wish to enforce copyright, they should at least not lull users by cooperating with them once.

As my leading hypothesis is too much individual staff power, with different staff feeling differently about copyrighted material, I sent an email asking for clarification on all this.

What do you think I should do?

Don't limit yourself to what you've already covered as a writer; if you haven't accounted for this, look back to your setting and come back with an answer.

Prompt 1: What most are allowed, including what most can improvise from legal items plus online tutorials.

Prompt 2: What they're physically capable of with jailbreaking and uncensored blueprints/knowledge, or if your society has no widespread technical restrictions

You may choose only one of the prompts as applies to your setting, or something I haven't even thought of
