Just updated my iPad. It wanted me to take a photo of a credit card. I did not let it. It then told me I might not be able to access certain things. The future is fucking shit.

Your governemnt is a fucking joke. They censored fucking ninja stars. Police confiscate butter knives. People get arrested, jailed and fined for saying naughty words. You cucks have no fucking rights. You all need to grow a backbone and revolt for your rights back already.

America is worse. They've got less freedom of speech than the Brits. American government is banning non state-approved routers so they can watch everything you do online. So glad I don't live there.

@geoffl @rusty_shackleford @joeress That one gets even funnier. The only US made routers at all are some Starlink ones.

So basically America banned all ISPs except Musk's.

The billionaire needs _more_...

@divVerent @geoffl @joeress Maybe for now, but I think what's next is pretty clearly other companies starting to make routers fully in the USA.

I thinks it's more likely that someone, or someone's relatives, will acquire shares in, or some kind of partnership with, a foreign router manufacturer who will then be granted a license to export routers to the USA, maybe?

@golemwire @geoffl @joeress "fully" :)

@divVerent @geoffl @joeress Yeah... I don't know what else other companies would do though, it'd be a lot of lost business if they didn't work towards made-in-USA.

@golemwire @geoffl @joeress What else? Faking it of course. It will still be Chinese chips with Indian firmware. Just with an American case.

It would actually be more useful to audit the firmware (all of it) as a sufficient replacement.
