- My brother @froomkin.bsky.social is the media critic, but in the unlikely event the Iran framework deal survives Trump learning what's actually in it, I hope the media explains the payments to Iran in understandable terms, e.g. deflating every $1 bn by 72 mill US households=$14. E.g. $300bn=>$4,200. June 15, 2026 Michael Froomkin

I remain pretty baffled that first Netgear (of whose products I had always had a cisco-of-the-low-end opinion) and then D-Link (of whose products I have not heard much good) would fail to follow the ntp.ourcorporatename.com solution (or better yet, make that a configurable-default ntp-europe.ourcorporatename.com et al solution).
Running a DNS server is easy.
On the law, you tell us. I would hope that D-Link is utterly and completely liable, but I hear the law often disappoints.
