IMO a 10% price increase for U.S. produced products isn't unreasonable. Some companies however like to exploit customers by increasing prices 25+% which will likely cost them customers.

What seems to be grossly ignored with most all Wi-Fi routers and / or PC reviews is if the hardware is actually secure. Isn't there a pending U.S. government investigation into backdoor access on these routers? Isn't their weekly security flaws reported on many of the major consumer brands of...

Not sure how they could even produce a true "Made in the U.S.A." product considering most PC hardware is produced in Asia. Assembled in the U.S.A. is one thing but actually having all the components produced in the U.S.A. is highly unlikely. That being said there would need to be some value to...

Doesn't Microsoft generate enough crap with their operating systems? :disrelieved:

The utility company will just continue to raise consumer prices to pay for it all.

The important question to ask: Is it secure or highly vulnerable like most consumer grade Wi-Fi routers?

As ye sow...

It makes you wonder if the hardware suppliers/users are that security oblivious or if the intent is to make consumers vulnerable? This ain't rocket science for sure.

My experience with Linux over the years has always been filled with disappointment. I started out on DOS so command line input is fine by me but I have yet to find a Linux distro that you can download, install and have all the basics you need. Something as simple but necessary as a print driver...

IME lots of companies in many industries use "tariffs" as a means to price gouge U.S. consumers. It's disgraceful and not at all what tariffs are imposed for. When consumers vote with their wallet unscrupulous purveyors get the message.

The Chinese gov'ment will get the message soon.

What I find unacceptable is when U.S. companies raise their prices after tariffs are applied to imported competitiors "dumping" in the U.S. market. A tariff is generally intended to raise imported prices to be competitive with U.S. produced goods, not to allow greater profits and prices for U.S...

I used a lot of Logitech hardware over the years but finally gave up on them when the quality dropped and they would not respond to new defective product purchases. I think they have lost their way.

125% tariff on ZERO imports from the U.S. is still ZERO revenue for China. If the U.S. had zero Chinese imports the world would likely be a much better place.

Within 6 months all countries will have made a deal with the U.S. and life as we know it will continue on. Tariffs are a means to an end which is fair trade between all countries without U.S. manufacturers being prevented from selling their products in other countries due to excessive tariffs or...
