Console people are an actual menace, we need to be discussing how they can be further disenfranchised
How they spend and hence their overall societal influence has been catastrophically bad for everything they have ever touched

I believe Sony tried a few weeks ago to get their fanboys to do the goy shuffle to get their face in a video game. That's one way of getting that ID checked.

I listened to about 1/3, but then stopped. First of all the "no American routers exists". Even by excluding corporate offerings front places like Cisco, there's Ubiquiti which last I checked is US based. Then you think about the American parts. Okay, last I checked Qualcomm is one of the more popular SoC, but you can still use something AMLogic as well. Well okay, what about the switch chips? Realtek is the go-to here, but last I checked Broadcom is still here (tho it's probably one of the most shit and evil companies to do business with), and Mikrotik has its business fucking revolve around Marvell switch chips. Same goes for radios - Qualcomm is the defacto standard. This isn't of course talking about making PCBs or the whole product together - this is outside of my comfort zone.
What this is all about is the shitboxes that carry either old MIPS based CPUs or the Mediatek Dimensity ones. Your bargain bin ZTEs and TP-Links. And on the non-consumer side, your ISPs probably won't be able to ship you those Huawei fiber all-in-one routers as well, which objectively is a good thing
Is it heavy handed? Yep. Is it impossible to overcome? Nope, not at all

You know, if you just watch Gamers Nexus or other reputable commentators instead of being retarded, you would know that the regulation the jews had Trump pass deals with.... 'the whole product together'.
Is it impossible? No, it just creates shortages and if implemented, massive price increases. Which is bad. Which is why non-retards oppose it.

You seem to be lost, the TES thread is 2 blocks down
It also creates an incentive in the long run to make one domestically, which is the whole point, and is good *in the long run*. But I guess as long as you can get your Alibaba shitbox for $30 now now now then it's all good, right? Fuck anything else
If one autist from Slovenia can do it, so can corporations in burger land
The TP-Links really rustle my feathers specifically because *ALL* of them, bar none, have their software based on a raped version of OpenWRT. Literally every single one, when you SSH to it will greet you with "OpenWRT 22.04" or some other ancient version, some go as far as pre-merge LEDE. These come from the SoC maker which are already a raped version where they skirt around the uci subsystem because the radio chips usually don't even bother implementing proper wifi kernel APIs, and just ship a closed source versions of wpa_supplicant, along with a plethora of other closed source binaries for "special functionality. THEN the ODMs slap some GUI and other shit on top of it and call it a day, never to be fixed again, and as you can see the security track record of them is egregious. And that's just TP-Link. Don't even ask about the Xiaomi ones..
If you need a *good* router and can afford it, get AT LEAST something from Mikrotik, hell even UBNT is better than a chinesium shitbox

You didn't even mention that in your first post where you sperged about a bunch of shit that had nothing to do with the actual regulation, subhuman.

For a moment there I thought you want to discuss things in earnest, but after looking at your postings I see you're just a deranged loon.
Anyway, as I've outlined before, right now it seems some/most ODMs will get a pass of some kind, with hopefully the biggest shitbox producers being left out. That being said I would've preferred this be enacted with some kind of 6 month vacatio legis so that there was enough time to onshore productions for those that do care about the market. Unfortunately this is not how this admin works, so there's going to be some turmoil. There's no need to blackpill in the long run because the components *do* exist unlike other markets, it's just putting it all together that needs to be done. This takes time, but is not so grossly insurmountable like the tariff wars where basic components like steel mills were missing

Yeah except TP-Link isn't Chinese and neither is netgear, and they'll all have components that are Chinese anyway. A cyberattack due to misconfigured and outdated firmware had nothing to do with the router company. If you think this had anything to do with making one locally and not about more spying and control of the internet (lower case because it's USA net), you're functionally fucking retarded.
Export model routers aren't subjected to the CPC's data retention laws. This is utterly imbecilic and the article was nothing but endless lies with scaremongering.
Enjoy paying a subscription for your Palantir router.
(Realistically whoever replaces this retarded administration will reverse all of this bullshit so it wouldn't even matter. They'll ban shit but they won't stop imports because it's logistically impossible. So you guys had a spat over nothing.)
As I said before, most people aren't interested in DIY shit. They want a system that plugs in and works. I would recommend DIY routers running openWRT but I will never build one for anyone because I'll get turned into a support slave.
Also cisco is garbage.

I respect you for all your legal stuff, but on this one I'll just say I disagree. Palantir is a problem but jumping from the "we're doing it" meme man to this is a stretch.

It's a joke. A garbage company like Palantir wouldn't have the knowledge to build a router if it could turn their CEO and CFO straight.

For a video game review, since the value of the game consists entirely in consumer enjoyment a free review code compromises the review, since, regardless of how honest the reviewer is, his enjoyment will be affected by the company giving him that gift. For something like a GPU, which can be abstracted to numbers on a graph, a free review sample can be a motive for the reviewer to compromise the review, but it's not a coincidence that nobody was accusing Steve of being compromised before he started disagreeing with them politically. Furthermore, GN's audience is tech literate enough that he probably couldn't get away with a dishonest or shill review. LTT can say "it's good because ASUS" and get away with it, if Steve said "it's good because Valve" he couldn't.
You shouldn't be evaluating games controllers in this way. Unless you want the cool features of the Steam Controller 2, which is mainly just trackpads, and are willing to pay $100 for it, you should not even consider buying one. You also shouldn't buy first-party console controllers because they are very overpriced and of lower quality than the competition because they can get away with doing that due to the power of being brand name. I recommend sticking with whatever controller you have right now until it wears out and then searching online for which controller is the best for you. Also, I would personally never buy a Steam Controller because it only works through Steam. Might be acceptable for other people, but very little of my gaming is through Steam.

There are plenty of American companies that sell routers, but none of the routers they sell are actually American. The parts are mostly from China, Singapore, Mexico, and Israel. I think Broadcom is the only one with manufacturing presence in the US, but they're so absolutely evil that you can't make any long term plans that involve them. Plus, anywhere broadcom makes ASICs is only going to be interested in making chips for AI.

Nokia has a line in Wisconsin to make ONTs (fiber to the home routers) because they get a lot of BEAD money and that has to be Buy America compliant.

Mikrotik manages to make routers in fucking Lithuania, you're telling me nobody can set up a plant in America?
Routers are a good front to start the long and painful process of disengaging the west from china. They are a critical pice of infrastructure but they don't require the most cutting edge chips.
