Switched from a Netgear nighawk to TP-link router and suddenly I don’t have to wait 30 seconds for every page navigation in my router anymore as if it’s still 2005. I understand why they would ban competition like that.
So, they’re already reversing the tariffs tit for tat with the rare earth metals and soybean stuff, what is the net score in the trade war, accounting for stuff that has been rolled back due to TACO Syndrome? I can’t even keep up with anything the US does lately
This just links to the msn home page, where is the article?
Original article https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2025/10/30/tp-link-proposed-ban-commerce-department/ rather than MSN aggregator. No idea why people link to such places.
I linked the MSN syndicated version because the washingtonpost is often paywalled or broken in other ways. (When I load this article there currently I am getting only the first paragraph of the article, with no indication that there is actually more.)
FWIW MSN is from Microsoft so IMHO might be better to link to the original source and, if need be, remind people they can either pay for journalist content or use services like archive.is which will bypass paywalls.
The Washington Post is owned by Jeff Bezos so I certainly wouldn’t suggest that anyone should pay them for anything.
I do often use archive.is (which, FWIW, is “privately funded” by a person unknown and in 2025 still says in its FAQ “With the current growth rate I am able to keep the archive free of ads. Well, I can promise it will have no ads at least till the end of 2014.”) and it is certainly useful but via Tor or a VPN it often requires solving multiple recaptcha (google) captchas so it is not my first choice for bypassing paywalls.
I am curious why @rossome@lemmy.ml got redirected to the MSN home page though; for me (with ads blocked by ublock origin) the page is loading just fine.
Works for me
