there are people in the world who buy new car because their 2 year old one is already too old.

depends on the definition of paying. is he giving you discount, or is he paying more than the car’s worth?

if it is the latter, then i am fine keeping all the fucker’s money and set the free teslas on fire.

linksys is owned by foxconn since 2018, the times when they were cheap brand of cisco are long gone.

i don’t think there is single mikrotik that can’t function as a router. the fact you can configure them as software bridge does not change that.

the rest answered here:

there are some but they are definitely in the minority. also this regulation is focused on home and soho devices, it specifically mentiones tp-link, which is really not enterprise brand.

also the regulation from what i found is so vague, that i suspect that for the author router equals to “that white box with antenna sitting on my table” and is very likely they have no clue about difference between l2 and l3 layer and what router actually is.

there is not much wifi access points that are not routers at the same time and i doubt that said regulation would make such a minor a distinction.

also keep in mind that the news articles are specifically talking about tp-link products.

unfortunately we can only guess, because only official document i have found is as vague as the news reports.

Routers^ produced in a foreign country, except routers which have been granted a Conditional Approval by DoW or DHS.

Why close the app im using just to open another?

because you can’t use two of them at the same time? what does that have to do with method of launching that another app and comparing two clicks/gestures that can be done one handed, vs typing into some search box, which is a lot more complicated and longer operation?

They also really want to talk about tokens like they’re some kind of currency

i think it is better than pizza fridays for them, because they probably can’t barter pizza for free.

do you have any experience, first or second hand, with whether filing such complaint is more than just waste of time?

that is what i am currently trying, seems to be working reasonably well and i swear it is faster than nova was.

there are some minor annoyances that are not really functional problem but will piss me off for some time (the icons of apps grouped into folder are far smaller than they could have been) and there is one big wtf moment, which is that screens do not wrap, so there is no left screen from the home one, resulting in number of screens being reachable of one slide cut to 50%, which is just… why?

that is why people have icons on the desktop. you do you, but i for one don’t want to type the name of the app i am using on the daily basis instead of it being one click.

i don’t know about your bro. but i wasn’t even remotely close to suggesting something like that.

there isn’t really anything revolutionary described in the article (maybe with an exception of these detachable ports).

i have no idea how much things got worse in the last few years, so it is possible they are fixing something they broken lately, but again, presenting it as something new, when it is in fact something that thinkpads were known for since the last ice age and is why people are using them, is just strange to me.

it is really on the level of “omg you guys, did you know that ferrari is doing really fast cars?”

this is their most repairable product as of yet.

thinkpads were always repairable, that and durability is their number one attribute. you present it as if it were somehow new thing.

wtf are you talking about? this isn’t “hitting the market”, this is staple of the thinkpads for ever.

rather than accept loss

these models were trained on all the fine knowledge and wisdom we share all over the internet, what would you expect? 😂

I know most of this stuff will be specialized server hardware

it actually won’t be, at least not for the hard drives. the prevailing strategy for quite some time now is to just use the cheapest available disks and deal with the failures on the software level. those disks will ultimately fail anyway and the increased price for some super-duper enterprise reliability server disk is not really worth it.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

That being said, wtf does “relinquishing digital files” even mean? They do know they still have the “originals” and there is no way to prove how many copies he made, right?

it is similar here in czechia, at least in theory, but the theory will always differ from real life.

you first have to know there is a camera to identify the problem, then if you are in doubt… i don’t know, sue them to prove that camera does not capture your property?

it would take few years, because the justice system here works on geological scales. and before you would get any reasonable result, billion other cameras would pop up meantime.

break it and be recorded on their camera breaking it. that will end well.
