Oh, to be fair I did see elevated ping response times, but it was maybe a hundred or two ms. Not like the total timeouts overseas. I'm just…

Probably not a good idea unless you use abs and acetone smoothing. 3D printer objects are inherently unhygienic because they are very hard…

Plastic.

Only if that NAS is running all SSD. If it's running hard drives, then I don't think you'll saturate gig ethernet.

Cheaper to just get a $75 2.5Gbps switch and place it behind the existing router. Or look for a consumer 10 gig switch (I've not kept track…

How long is a piece of string? Some people only print small things. Some people print big things. I couldn't get by with a mini. A friend…

The basic home user who wants to learn nothing about the tech, it brings nothing besides probably more reliable build quality, which is…

Wow. What an utter shitshow that was. ________________ And for the record, again, WAPs do not need stupid amounts of gigantic external…

Oh that's wonderfully amusing- those are direct copies of each of the Unifi models. Do they also rip off the Unifi Controller software and…

> UniFi or **IP-PRO AP**: $250 What's this second thing?

That's comical. The routers don't have to look like macho spiders on steroids- the seriously high end stuff looks like white Tupperware…

The amount of electricity consumed by a passively cooled five to eight port switch would be utterly trivial. Second question, who knows.…

If I buy consumer routers, they're Asus. But if I was implementing 10Gb at home it'd be based around a dedicated switch- switches are crazy…

I'm sure you can just turn off the LEDs, but the whole thing is still just cringe. For $700 I'll take ex-corporate gear that's built to…

I look at designs like these and think it would be too embarrassing as a techie to own something this obviously designed to appeal to the…

Resolution is going to thunk down to lower resolution, acceptable to some people but it's definitely a tradeoff. The only upload-dependent…

Agreed. 1Mbps will choke as soon as you initiate a zoom or FaceTime call or, a game. It shouldn't be regarded as an option.

Cerbside, dammit.

Natural only for some people. I'm with phark on this- totally pointless to spend the energy seeking post purchase validation. Spend the…

> we need to know details like air volume at different fan speeds, loudness, how focused is the wind output Okay, so this means you've…

Kmart/Anko. I think it's AC but at a third of the cost, it's hard to complain.

There are alternatives- kmart does one. Whether it's built well, who knows. But it'll move air in the same way.

They're not available on Oz

Yes, a DC Vornado bolted to the ceiling courtesy of an Ozito drill.

It's a huge difference with the finer speed controls. I have an AC unit (a Whirlpool) which is kind of unusable in the same room because…

Because people are prepared to pay more for a brand name. My air circulators are Xiaomi, also DC, and cost almost half.
