The biggest issue with the Fairphone would be it's lack of compatibilty in North America. Their own FAQ page are pointing that they are set up for European coverage and not for NA.

It really feels like a story out of a movie. Employee of the company steals information, goes to the company under a false identity to claim money then when the police comes to him tries to go all in and poses as a whistleblower which works.
But also it clears quite a bit of what exactly happened at Ubiquiti around this hack, making them look better than they were back in fall where there answer to the whistleblower claims felt quite weak.

And if it's not an employee you always have a risk that a higher up might sabotage a company for their own profit.
 
Ubiquiti seem to have done a lot of stuff right regarding to their response, but they couldn't control the message of it. Especially after Sharp went out to the press as a whistleblower while under investigation from the FBI.

That dude doesn't sound like the sharpest crayon in the box he thought to use a VPN but decided he would go with surfshark out of all of the available ones and then he didn't even enable a kill switch so it leaked his own IP 🤣
 
As a Ubiquiti user though I'm glad it was just some internal person doing this and not an actual hacker that got in. Makes me feel better about their security.

If true, this is probably the best outcome from this as it shows it was not an actual breach, just a bad actor thinking he had a foolproof plan to get rich quick.

as an owner of an alienware laptop I can say the performace and design of the laptops are very good however they lack price/performance value compared to others. the warranty and support is also very good on dells part. Oh and they are an absolute bitch to dissasemble taking me over 1h just to remove the cmos.

The major issue for keyboard in Switzerland is we use our own version of the German layout. On a small market, it's not really worth it to put something that the average user will not really care for.
 
Mediamarkt has a couple Logitech one (as its a Swiss company, it's good they offer a Swiss layout) and a Corsair one if I recall correctly. But yeah, most of the keyboard available in store or online for gaming are flashy gaming one.

This is an awesome news, as more standard for ports means better compatibility between device, better looking IO and less stuff to carry around. I would imagine Apple having an influence on that decision, as they went full Thunderbolt on their computer before making a USB C only MacBook. The next generation will probably feature a Thunderbolt 3 only.
Beside if it can help Thunderbolt to be more use.
