If only.

If this is the thing that does EA in, we can all feel a little pride and accomplishment.

I've ordered products from some of the brands specifically mentioned, and the quality to price is often great.

Would I buy anything with a battery or an internet connection from them? Probably not. But are many things fine, and likely produced in the same sweat shops as household name brands.

It seems like a stretch to automatically hide every temu-esk brand... The brands themselves don't even attempt to hide what they are.

That doesn't make those components magically cheaper...

I can upgrade anything in my desktop too, but the 4x32gb ddr5 sticks I paid $200 for in 2024 now cost around $1,600.

Sure, but either way, it's not the employee's problem.

And Federal Devices. If those devices aren't secure, that's not the employee's problem.
