Since it’s open source is there a way for companies to adjust so it doesn’t intentionally avoid saying anything bad about China?

Payment is optional.

How are the speeds?

Why use it as a Tailscale exit node?

Unless there’s a serial number on the box that matches one printed on the product.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with doing this to Amazon or Walmart, especially when something breaks just outside of the return period and the warranty would be a pain to deal with.

I dunno, it only hurts the corporation and it’s on them for making a crappy product.

Some retailers (Costco) have very relaxed return policies so you wouldn’t even have to do this.

They don’t just put the product back out on the shelf. Often its sold to a liquidator. They would have to label it as open box and most brick and mortar retailers don’t sell open box items.
