https://www.consumerlab.com/ does a great job testing vitamins and other various things put in or on your body. Well worth the subscription price.
If you typed in the domain and visited directly, it wouldn't redirect to the scam site. But if you clicked on a link from a google search, then it would redirect.
Probably makes it harder to find for small website owners if they're not clicking their own google searches.
Comment from @chx on a different thread I found last week:
You can check which ThinkPad BIOS has the option at their BIOS emulation site: https://download.lenovo.com/bsco/index.html
For mine it's under Config // Power // Sleep State. Windows 10 means useless Modern Standby, Linux means S3. https://i.imgur.com/Y5CchL9.png
I was probably 12 or 13 and had all the time in the world, but no credit card or parental permission.
I figured out how to reverse engineer those spam AOL and NetZero signup CDs you would get in the mail to extract their dial-in credentials for new user signups. I managed to use that to get free internet access for the Dreamcast!
I think I got caught when my mom needed to make a phone call... online gaming was tough in the days of 56k dialup.
Must be discontinued, but I wonder where the author of the article found it.
So no, I am not joking.
I haven't been marking the numbers as spam, but maybe I'll try to do that to see if the number of calls reduces.
I tried switching to a Pixel 4a 5G but I was not impressed and switched back to the OnePlus.
That being said, I'm not sure if I'd pay the premium prices of their new flagship models at this point.
I'll go ahead and file an issue for it now :-)

Just because you haven't run into a trademark issue yet doesn't mean that you will not in the future. And I don't think I'd want to be fighting the US Army lawyers for the naming rights.
I love your initiative, but you may want to look into the naming issue a bit further (since this is what trademarks are explicitly designed for, to prevent confusion about one product/service doing the same thing under the same name).
