I'm looking forward to seeing these FCC approved US made network appliances where the firmware definitely was not just outsourced to Chinese, Indian, and French* contractors like literally every other network appliance.

(*anything power related has Schneider controllers and everything Schneider has French swearing and Modbus in it, as a rule)

actually serious take: the order is incredibly stupid and obviously fuelled by xenophobia and corruption, but I do actually think companies should be forced to disclose the name of the OEM when they sell whitelabelled products, *regardless* of origin, as part of trading standards and consumer protection.

this goes for all products, not just computing equipment.
