I keep getting surprised by our friends from over the big water. Like it is not yet another war but just a big F for every internet user. The next big F besides the age verification OS stuff ofc. But if EU wants to step back from US-Tech we are the evil ones, right. heise.de/-11222049

USA bans all new routers for consumers

for the past two days I had actually system engineering work to do and holy moly... if you do the stuff you actually are good at and not some random shallow work, work can be fun!

We need more such people! 🤗 🐧
