I've been thinking about the FCC's insane new ban on foreign-made routers. Note the end of the BBC story at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c74787w149zo:
"One exception to the general absence of US-made routers is the newer Starlink WiFi router. Starlink is part of Elon Musk's company SpaceX.

"The company says the Starlink routers are made in Texas."

And per the FCC's FAQ (https://www.fcc.gov/faqs-recent-updates-fcc-covered-list-regarding-routers-produced-foreign-countries), even US-written software (or, I assume, open source software like OpenWRT) won't exempt foreign-made routers from the ban.

US bans new foreign-made consumer internet routers

There are almost no major brands of internet routers that are manufactured in the US.

while I have a level of sympathy for the california/colorado style of age-verification law, and I think many reactions against it are overheated, at the end of the day we still have to oppose stuff like this because society's ideas of what ought to be age-gated are just wrong on the merits. the goal is to ban access to perfectly normal healthy things like queer communities and still allow kids access to fucked-up dangerous adults-only stuff like catholicism and the president of the united states

"Right now, there is a strategy coming from the White House. Here is how that strategy works. You witness so much wrongdoing that your ability to be shocked begins to erode. You are hit with so many scandals that the details blur together. Eventually, the effort required to stay informed becomes so draining that tuning out feels like the only option left. That is not a failure on your part. That is the goal."
