Nope. Not kidding. Major faux pas. Extremely embarrassing in tech news. There are many who won’t buy Belkin for that reason.

"There are many who won’t buy Belkin for that reason."

Somehow I missed that story. Wow.

Belkin's been off my list for a few years, but because of quality issues with a WiFi router I had. It would overheat and crash if large or sustained file transfers were attempted. It was a known and acknowledged issue, and Belkin recommended changing a setting so that the unit was throttled. Totally unacceptable. So I got rid of that unit and put Belkin on my shiite-list. I've avoided purchasing their products ever since, and this incident merely reassures me of the wisdom of it.
