    not “motorola” (as in the mobile phone company that’s now part of lenovo, or the old cable box/modem company which is owned by arris), but rather a licensee of the name and trademarks for certain networking products… “premier logitech” (which has nothing to do with the computer peripherals company), which is owned by one of those buyout/“investment” firms “tide rock”.

    i wouldn’t expect a thing out of them, especially support for gear designed, made or sold prior to tide rock’s ownership (acquired in 2024).

      That’s the neat thing about this: If you license out your name, your name is on the device. Those licensees profit from your name, from your brand. If you license out your name to some shit company, you totally deserve that everybody does think that you are some shit company
