If you don’t mind Chinese vendors from AliExpress. It’s probably the best deal you’re going to find.

Duntun? Never heard of this brand. Is it safe to use?

If your have to ask, the answer is probably no.

It won’t murder you if that’s what you’re asking. You can always monitor your egress traffic if you’re concerned. Ultimately, for home use it likely doesn’t matter.

Spying today takes the form of custom silicon branded as the original with extra transistors added before fabbing. Usually higher nm processes since they can’t fab on the latest nodes.

Knowing this, the chance of getting a counterfeit chip on a name brand switch is non-negligible as it is, and those parts come from China too.

The firmware might be a concern, but again, you need to be a valuable target.

I don’t think they we’re asking about murder; I think they were asking about a switch. /s

Link appears to be dead now. What was the price?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Shoes up for me as 369 + 120 USD shipping.

[–] Fuck_u_spez_ 2 points 5 months ago

Not bad for the switch but seems a little high for shoes.
