In for a spare!
Everything we buy is a risk these days.
Cancelled after reading reviews.

Glad the price went up because I was VERY tempted when I first read this.
My comment was in jest about this product, but the actual risk is not a joke.
"Supply Chain Attack" attacks are a real threat. Not just at the higher "firmware" level with backdoors, but deeper at the hardware level injected into the microcode/ASIC instructions.
A payload packet could activate botnet code, or open an SSH tunnel.
The critical details about China is companies are "compelled" to assist the Chinese gov. This could include pre-installing malware.
This price is attractive, sure. But no amount of custom firmware flashing or virus scanning could erase or catch malware if it's deep in the microcode.

They probably realized they made it too good of a deal and they burned through all their inventory currently since the price went up to $60.
Still curious to hear on performance from anyone who gets this.

You think this unmanaged switch has a processor that has microcode?
So many wanna-be security experts on the internet these days.
The other comparison I would make to this is that we all take risks when we buy things whether it is food, products, services, chemicals etc. It is why there are things like the nutrition label on food products, sourcing information for fresh seafood, safety data sheet (SDS) for chemicals, etc. By knowing what is in what we are buying we can make an informed decision if the product is risky to us. The cybersecurity industry is trying to get to these same requirements for IT equipment. If we had a a hardware and/or software bill-of-material for IoT and network devices it will help us all better understand the risk we are taking acquiring devices and add transparency to the vendors/manufacturers practices and subsequent reputation for their security practices. FWIW the medical/health IT industry is one of the worst for bad practices in this regard. If you knew how many "smart" medical devices used within hospitals had 15+ year old code/libraries with vulnerabilities and how easy those are to exploit you'd probably not go lol. The FDA is trying to get there with rules/standards but it is slooooooow adoption...
