I hope things like hardware made by/for openwrt remain available, but it sounds like they will cease to be?
My first thought was the risk of the us demanding us manufacturers include a backdoor
It sounds like the exemption for foreign companies is an option while they create plans for american manufacturing
It seems like professional equipment will not be affected:
That's not reassuring. It sounds like they don't want home users to be able to get any router they could manage themselves.
nail ~~on~~ in the head
I'm not sure their like bananapi based router would be considered professional. More home tinkerer
I'm not sure what that'll mean for the impact of this change, but I guess we'll see 🤷🏻♂️
