    No way tech companies won’t manipulate this to their benefit right? Gonna be having routers shipped in decoy packages. I’m not buying backdoor infested mess they’re gonna peddle at an unreasonable price cause there can be no outside competition.

    Given Ubiquiti’s Russian connections, and TP Link’s Chinese connections, this honestly isn’t surprising.
