Semi-related: companies advertising “military grade” like it means something other than “made by the lowest bidder”.
Comment on What's your opinion on Ubiquiti/Unifi gear?
femtek@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 days agoThis sounds like a good thing for consumers.
According to Hunterbrook, Ukrainian military sources and Russian vendors interviewed for the story say Ubiquiti devices are favored because they are inexpensive, easy to deploy, and difficult to disable remotely.

How is this a good thing? Getting extremely rich selling products to the Russian military despite sanctions?
I’ll be avoiding Unifi products until they stop doing this.

I don’t think it was on them, I thought from reading the article it was 2nd hand not directly from the company itself. I’m saying the reasons listed are good for consumers especially as the US gets more oppressive against its own citizens.

That’s still on Unifi. They’re responsible for where their products are sold.

Actually they are not, only who they sell to, if it’s an official distributor they can put that in their policy and stop giving them product if the distributor breaks the policy. If I buy 10 switches and then sell them to some guy in Russia, that’s on me, not ubiquity.
