Somewhere there is a factory pumping these things out by the thousands smdh.

I hope this isn't a real product and that it was custom printed by someone for fun 😅
@m0xee @GuerillaOntologist @reverseics @nstarke bigclive on YT i think has some product teardowns that are obvious frauds, but usually stuff like "plug this in to reduce your electric bill" and the like!
If we pop that single screw off and show the other side of the PCB, i bet it's a total of <10 total surface mount parts. 4 LEDs, four resistors, and maybe a 25 cent mCU to make it blinkenlight, if they do.

Sure, there's always a possibility, but this seems too… low — even for a fraud, I refuse to believe these are getting mass-produced somewhere 😅
(I don't want my belief in the mankind to get ruined more than it already is🤭)

haha it probably went something like this in Shenzen or wherever:
"Our supplier for the wifi extender PCBs cannot deliver!"
"can we unload the clamshells?"
"maaaaaaaaybe... do you care if we have to change the company name from TIENAN to SHGUUHJ?"
"haha no"
@m0xee @reverseics @GuerillaOntologist @nstarke the ones in my profile header cost hundreds of dollars, and dont respond well to particular sprays.
