🚨 The FCC bans all routers made outside the U.S. — So basically all routers.

Most people buy a router and never think about it again. That box in the corner that handles every password and video call you make. The FCC is now worried that some of these devices are actually open doors for foreign governments. Shocked! 🫢

Regulators are looking at TP-Link to see if they pose a threat to national security. Recent reports show hackers used these devices to build massive botnets. You might find yourself shopping for new hardware if these bans take effect.

🧠 Regulators are weighing a ban on specific foreign routers.
⚡ Security experts found flaws that allow remote access.
🎓 This move follows previous restrictions on Chinese tech firms.
🔍 Check your hardware brand before the new rules arrive.

The Man Who Went Shopping For Dining Chairs and Accidentally Bought Stonehenge.

On September 21, 1915, a British barrister named Cecil Chubb was given a very simple task by his wife, Mary. She sent him to a local auction in Salisbury with strict instructions: buy a nice set of dining chairs for their home.

But as Chubb sat in the auction house, he got distracted. "Lot 15" came up for sale, a 30-acre plot of land featuring a crumbling, dilapidated ring of ancient rocks.

Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.

While talking to a colleague about how I recently learned most people have never sat on a cow it came up that she has never sat on a horse. Like, not even once during childhood.

Another colleague admitted they also have never sat on a horse.

My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life sat on a horse.

🏇 🐎 🐴

Have you sat on a horse?

Please boost for scientific accuracy.

It's amazing and excellent to see @pluralistic 's term being touted and amplified by an entire national government...
