recent chrome versions actually throttle these reports down to 60hz max, checked this on several systems and mice

You actually should not, usual (non-gaming) mice still do the same (most touchpads in cheap laptops even slower, they share already slow i2c bus with several other endpoints), and the article ignores drivers and the UI stack altogether.

I could not find anything about google or other browser vendors in the article.

My take is that you should trust provider (developer, hoster) of said encryption app to send you actual implementation, not something that looks like the real deal, but does not encrypt anything. From a regular user's point of view: you can not inspect what you run (due to technical reasons, that on the web anything can be downloaded and executed at any moment, swapping implementation on the fly. And due to skills needed to actually read and understand executed scripts), so you can only believe and trust. At which point usual TLS is surely enough.

any c245 will do (JBC is the best and original, but clones are close)

I would not call 2nd video "skillful", that SOIC was molested, not soldered :(

I'm scratching my own itch: building a yet another audio signal generator for smartphone. I need some extra functionality that is not available elsewhere, and impose some limitations "just because": it must be bare minimal PWA.

But actual app does not matter, the main take away for me is: it is easy and fast to write bloatware (esp. with AI), but not that easy to distill to what is really needed. And what looked like a weekend project, a couple of hours max (with help of AI), now lingers for 2+ weeks on-and-off on evenings (of manual effort).

tried this one: failed to open any file in my home directory, as it contains non-latin characters...

Thanks! That cisco sounds like a hell of equipment. Is it loud? And how much power does it draw?

And thanks for pointing at CWDM4, these are quite cheap on ebay now

This pic is quite unsettling, I didn't understand why at first, but this blue wire pinched under the bolt...

Yep, these cards need a fan (or any kind of directed air flow).

Where did you get "several ms of latency" figure from? I have not measured external card, but may be I should do it... Because cards themselves have latency in range of microseconds, not millis.

Nice! Cool to hear from a fellow admirer of overkill-lan setups ;)

Which cards do you prefer for 100G, and what is the situation with dacs/optics?

Officially: to access NAS, get raw market-data files (tens to hundreds of gigabytes a day), not needed on laptop every day, but only once in a while to fix or analyze something.

Really: because I can, and it is fun. I upgraded my home lan to 10G, because used 10G hardware is cheap (and now 25G enters the same price range).
