  • I think there is the threat of American producers trying to keep prices from going up too much by finding ways to suppress wages for workers and by just making products crappier, since their primary focus will be squeezing every possible penny of profit out of every sale.

    America never had good labour laws, and the anti-union propaganda has created generations who don’t know why unions were created in the first place. I don’t see this ending well for American labour.

    Donnie doesn’t have a stable policy, and the immediacy of the tariffs simply will result in higher prices. Farmers can’t go back in time and plant alternate crops - the imports are necessary. Steel plants can’t just re-tool for a product that used to come from Brazil or Canada overnight. If the goal is to bring back the jobs, companies need time to adjust and plan and invest.















  • The amplifi line is the plug and play line closest to the google/eero/etc. experience. It is specifically the one I was referring to which has less than enthusiastic feedback.

    I neglected to mention Mikrotik. They’re a Latvian company that is also in the space. I think they’d be farther to the professional/complex end of the spectrum. Omada is in the middle, and Ubiquiti leans toward the easier to use side. They’re all going to need more work than google wifi, unfortunately.

    The “other” site has a wealth of information; evanmccann.net is a good source for demystifying their product line as well.
