The Omada line makes pretty decent AP’s too. A step above ubiquiti in terms of reliability but also dead simple. I’d have gone ruckus if I could have but the mailman stole my $200 eBay R550 score and I didn’t feel like shelling out $500 for one.

I actually picked up a refurb desktop from Walmart with a ryzen 3500 for $400, it runs basically everything without breaking a sweat. Proxmox running homeassistant, docker, my seedbox, media server, etc and it averages 3% CPU usage.

I did not know just how much heat a 16tb disk can put out up until that point though.

Has it gotten any better recently?

I run a node but I haven’t actually used it as a search engine in a while, as I found the result quality to be exceedingly poor.

I have a 14 MBP M1 16/512. It’s… not great. The other day photoshop was running super slow so I opened up process manager and discovered that not only had it eaten all 16gb of ram, it was also using up ~30gb of swap space. Even just general day to day safari use will give me random lags and slowdowns that I don’t get on my desktop which is running an i5.

How is that “creepy”?

Regardless, we’re already seeing the effects as manufacturing moves away from China and towards India.

Now, what happens to those increased wages when the demand for workers is gone?

That’s right. They collapse.

The most amazing thing about their current offerings is that they haven’t screwed them up yet.

AMD has a looooong history of seemingly deliberately shooting themselves in the foot every time they get ahead.

Which they are likely sorely regretting as tensions flare higher with China and our navy is struggling to protect shipping around Israel.

> However, like all ferrocyanide salt solutions, addition of an acid or exposure to UV light can result in the production of hydrogen cyanide gas, which is extremely toxic.

Now that does seem like a bit of a concern, doesn’t it?

I have a few zooz Z-wave devices and a bunch of zigbee stuff.

The Z-wave devices turned out to be significantly more unreliable surprisingly.

The only z-wave device I still have running is my smart lock. Everything else has been replaced with zigbee.
