A DNS server can use root hints to resolve addresses rather than needing an upstream DNS server.

I should upgrade my crappy TP-Link TL-WR702N actually.
Any idea why the Slate AX router costs more than the Beryl AX, which has better specs?
Edit
I've done a bit of research and the Beryl is twice as fast over 5GHz. It's slightly smaller and lighter. It has one less Ethernet port, but the WAN is capable of 2.5Gb. The Slate has an SD card slot for file sharing. It also has a quad-core CPU, so is faster when connecting to a VPN (550Mbps over 300Mbps of the Beryl).
I actually prefer the black colour of the Slate over the light blue Beryl, but with the slower VPN speed and lack of an SD, both of which are not really a problem for me, the Beryl looks like it's the one I should go for.
If anyone in the UK is interested, you can make quite a saving in the UK from Amazon. Normal price is £119 but if you tick the £20 off and 16% off voucher you end up paying £79.96. A saving of £43.53.
Seriously. I've been using Windows for years and every time I've tried to move it's games that stopped me. Proton is literally a game changer. I'm not a hardcore Guild Wars 2 player but I play daily. The game ruins flawlessly with Proton.
Valve 👏
Doubtful.
I'm a long term Guild Wars 2 player and when they joined Steam the client auto logs you in using your Steam account. However there is a switch you can add so that it logs in using a non-steam account.
Yeah the Pixel 8 is slightly smaller.

It was. Now it's bloated with Microsoft's services and thrown in your face if you don't use it as your default. For example Outlook defaults to opening it for links in emails even if you have a different browser as you default. Bullshit move Microsoft.
I'm tempted by the iPhone 15 Pro. I'm not sure I can deal with iOS though after not using it since the iPhone 4S.
It's only when I start to look around that there are actually a number of features the Pixel/Android has that I'd really miss.

I didn't realise it at the time but the Pixel 5 is the perfect size for me at 6". I really hoped the 8 was going to be no more than 6.1" but sadly not.
