Laptop reseller Malibal who boasts laptops with Linux support has picked a fight with the coreboot project and blacklisted several countries and US states from receiving their laptops.
Oh no! What will we ever do? haha. So Malibal tried to use free software, couldn't do it themselves, tried to get someone else to do it for cheap, and complains while not even paying anybody. Sounds like a cheap company that will cut corners at ever turn(pun intended).

I'm tempted to chime in as a UK citizen and get us banned too for a giggle!
