This whole situation has made me realize that I need to get back on the OpenWRT train.
Gonna be really funny when it’s revealed in 5 years that Netgear routers have a backdoor for the Chinese govt and the US okayed it because of the money the Trump admin got.
It’s literally the type of corruption that was claimed China would do for the last 4 decades.
…now see, you SAY funny. I think we have a difference of opinions on humor. You know what I find funny? You ever see that old video from the 90s of Donald Duck slumped down in his chair, getting a handjob from Daisey duck? And he can’t handle it. He’s all like “Ooooooweeeeee!!! Oh my gaaawwwwddddddd!!! Playin wit ma balls! Playin wit ma balls!!! Oooooooh!!!”
And then he just cums EVERYWHERE, and it’s all drippy on Daiseys face. She’s just kneeling there, with a shocked look on her face, and Donald says “I’ll go get you a towel!”
I found that funny. Not so much national corruption, bribery, and internet security fraud.
I get the aching feeling its because Netgear likely agreed to some backdoor shit, or to just funnel all user traffic to ICE
Netgear likely agreed to some backdoor shit
If that’s how you win Trump’s favor, count me out forever.
Sounds like netgear routers are now 100% confirmed to be compromised with backdoors instead of just being probable
Time to flash the old Netgear router with some open source firmware.
Spyware preinstalled. Has to be.
Well netgear has a stellar reputation for screwing up their firmware horribly so if they are involved in implementing the implant it absolutely will be noticed.
Alternatively, if it suddenly starts working, we know they aren’t writing it.
