edit Gli-net seems nice, but i'm a stickler of using a WAP separate from the router. I know I pay more.

It's exactly why I bought her two of them. One their main router and the other in AP mode ;)

As opposed to, TP-Link, Cisco(Linksys) and other off the shelf routers it seems some will only go for brands with their own proprietary firmware?

I grabbed that Xiaomi router on the premise it has OpenWRT, but I'd like to see Ubi / Unifi routers put under the same scrutiny instead of just lumping a brand name as a no-go.

What's your recommendation?

Never used them pal, but seen them used in Enterprise environments?

Something I've found on a SOHO environment though and what I bought a family member?

Gli-Net mini routers. They come with OpenWRT as a base and then lipstick it with a nice interface. But as always, YMMV

No doubt, and I would really love someone with more knowledge than me to poke into why that was going on (*edit: for clarity, this behaviour stopped after installing OpenWRT and is the stock Mi firmware that causes this)

I remember finding this thread where someone said they replaced their entire networking equipment

This reminds me of some peeps saying using Newpipe is "(app) piracy". I wholly disagree with them to this day.

If a website, which YouTube.com is and allows a client to connect and use its services it isn't, piracy per se.

Much like because I have a UK IP address I can hit up get_iplayer and use that service which IMO should be the norm.

e: apologies for not been helpful, I'm just ranting.

I've had no end of trouble with routers and ones you should choose to be sure of.

The ones where you can flash OpenWRT seems the only choice if you want some semblance of security. But even my current Xiaomi router with stock firmware creates hash mismatches using apt to download things, and I don't 100% know with confidence that using OpenWRT on it instead is keeping me right.

Innit.

It's silly, and they're nuking devs apps to make them update for the sake of "being active" even thou their app is still like Ronseal and does what it says on the tin, even after all these years and works just fine.

Might look like Gingerbread but I don't give a fugg since I don't even look at it and love that app.

Sucks, I recently just noticed one of my most used apps SMBSync2 got yoinked but thankfully have it installed still, but I also noticed that APKmirror doesn't even have a copy of it like it does for GSAM :/

Yeah, I'm a Britbong and apparently we're regarded for knowing satire when it stares us in the face.

And we've also had the simple truth that the Germans at one point were terribad at it but are now nailing it down, especially when you come to the above users calling it "satire".

It's a shit joke in very bad taste no matter where you're from or whatever political spectrum you're aligned to. Made me giggle to be honest, and especially so how you downvoted for not getting lel joke.

Tally ho'

Exactly, that's why anything I do with my real name is on my wholly separate profile / device / email.

It's a boring computer that has my real name on it.

[–] ladfrombrad@lemdro.id 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Google will just add your new account to your profile and keep right on selling your shit.

This is exactly why I used a pseudonym from the outset.

Thing is though there's around 12-24 bottles per case depending on the size of the bottles.

Our fastest filler here at work does 36,000 bottles an hour, so you definitely won't be getting 13,000 cases in 30 seconds I can assure ya ;)
