Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

Non-American computer hardware (lemmy.ca)

I’m looking to avoid American-made goods and American companies as much as possible and this relatively challenging when it comes to computers.

From my research so far it seems very difficult to find computer hardware that isn’t using American company microprocessors. CPUs available to non-industrial uses tend to be AMD, Intel, or recently some Qualcomm — all US companies. Even Raspberry Pi uses a Broadcom chip, and the other up-and-coming ARM chips I’ve researched seem to be American as well.

I’d appreciate any insights in this area, either companies with existing products or up and coming companies to watch. If I had a blind spot in my research and I’m missing something obvious please tell me.

Really wish Nortel was still around for networking. No idea for good business grade switches and access points.

I’ve been an avid Unifi fan for years, but for my “prosumer” uses I’ll probably be moving to TP-Link unless I find a better alternative for network gear.

I don’t love supporting China for a variety of serious reasons, but for me… not threatening to conquer my country gives them a big step up from America despite those reasons.

You could check out Mikrotik. Latvian company. It takes a bit of work to understand though from my experience. Their routers are very good though.
