Fair, I guess the chances of needing simultaneous 10Gb download and upload on the internet connection are pretty slim.

My ISP does offer 6 Gbps, but 1 Gbps is far more than I need already. I would drop down to like a 500 Mbps plan if they had one but it jumps all the way to 100 Mbps.

Ah that makes sense, so not very useful if you have over 5Gb internet service I suppose.

Interesting that it will only have 1 10GbE port, I’m not really sure how you’re supposed to use 10Gb internet service if you can’t get 10Gb out of the router into your LAN.

They often only have 1 ethernet port that’s 1GbE or 2.5GbE at that price, and a wifi client card doesn’t make a very good AP.

Only 1 ethernet port.

Only some have an internal switch, others just have multiple NICs.

Even if it was covered in high school, I think because most people never use it again in daily life it’s easy to forget.

Generally I don’t think Chinese tech is really any worse than “US” (aka; made in china by a US company) tech.

The software running on phones and stuff is likely worse though, some things should be avoided.

is it really so that your Joe Average can’t tell the difference between 1kWh of heat produced by gas compared to electricity?

Most people don’t even know what a watt or watt/hour is. And have no idea how energy from gas relates to energy from electricity.

Probably KDE, it’s the most ‘complete’ feeling to me with settings and GUI for most things.

I doubt it, since they keep putting glass on the back of phones too so you’re pretty much guaranteed to hit glass when you drop it.

Gotcha, one model for everything would be quite expensive though given all the extra sensors, better displays, solar charging and stuff the higher end ones have yeah?

What kind of apps do you want to use?

These probably seem like dumb questions but the only other smart watch I’ve used was an android wear model, and that was an absolutely miserable experience compare to my garmin. I never found any apps worth using on it aside from normal built in smartwatch stuff.

What would you like them to add?

Which is odd because their stuff is really good for sensors, and has weeks of battery life vs other smartwatches that struggle to last a day.

One option is running changedetection.io on your server, it works for basically anything since it’s actually loading a full web page and checking for changes.

Nice since it seems like everything these days requires apis and all kinds of BS to use in an app.

Video and audio conversion can be done with Handbrake or Shutter Encoder, both are nice GUIs

It’s good for privacy from the websites you visit, from itself is up for debate though lol

You could always try out an AI service that doesn’t collect data like duck.ai: https://duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/duckai/

What plugin is it? Been using Obsidian as well since it’s the best replacement I’ve found that also has easy self hosted syncing (Remotely plugin via WebDAV)

Privacy is not all or nothing, and using one thing doesn’t cancel all efforts somewhere else.

Don’t go so far into the privacy hole that it affects your mental health. Just do what’s easy for you.
