well that sucks. memphis already has to deal with elon, and now this fool?
dang.
This is piss poor “journalism”.
The company in question is Ubiquiti, maker of prosumer network hardware (switches, routers, access points, etc.).
While I don’t dismiss the possibility of this guy being a complete chud, Russia obtaining off the shelf hardware is a pretty weak (read: nonexistent) link to their war effort.
Agreed and also rather than saying “Russia is using Ubiquiti hardware” they led with a sports team, it’s so dumb
Grizzlies sounds like a bear specific version of Grindr.
