Heads up, everyone: There's a shady Chinese seller going by "yysluping" who's been pushing a bunch of knockoff products from the Nerdaxe and Bitaxe lineup. One big red flag is their version of the NerdQaxe++, it's been tweaked and messed with in ways that block you from flashing the legit open-source firmware.
You've probably seen their pushy ads all over YouTube. They've stripped out the update options in the firmware and tell you to grab "updates" from their sketchy repo. But here's the kicker: what you're actually downloading isn't just firmware, it's some dodgy Windows or MacOS app that gets loaded onto their altered device.
This is a double whammy: It could compromise both your computer and the NerdQaxe itself. Stay far away, don't even think about installing any of their software or firmware on your setup, and definitely skip buying hardware from these guys. It's just not worth the risk of getting scammed or hacked.
