I'm going to skip my normal "china capitalism = lie-based profit" spiel and simply suggest that if we're going to be buying Chinese c̶r̶a̶p̶ stuff (thanks a lot for supporting a Communist dictatorship, Amazon), we need a way to publicly shame online the folks that try to pull this crap either by lying about the true device specifications, lying about the expected reliability, lying about the expected compatibility etc.
