Amazon’s quest for more, cheaper products has resulted in a flea market of fakes

But of course now Ubiquiti has silently added a “feature” that phones home with telemetry data. Does that count as a bait and switch?

After much outcry they have reversed this decision, but it’s not encouraging. One of the employees was very dismissive of concerns on the Ubiquiti subreddit.

I steer clear of Ubiquiti because I still remember something about them not providing source for the GPL code they were using. Unsure if that was resolved but it stuck with me.

I have found Mikrotik to make nice hardware with a full set of enterprise features, and mostly cost less than even the "prosumer" stuff from the big brands.
