I understand that, but they’re wrong.

That’s still just a cellular modem stuffed in to a much better router though. It’s a cellular connection. Yea, with 5g it’s a ton better than 3g, but it’s a cellular connection, provided to you by a cellular network operator. Cellular network operators are their own thing, regulated by the FCC as their own thing, whether the cellular connection is happening on your phone or on your cellular company provided router, it’s still connecting to the cellular network.

Look. Starlink is a satellite internet provider right? But you understand that no wires are physically connecting the starlink terminal to the starlink satellites right? It’s “wireless”. Starlink is not a WISP, it’s a satellite internet provider. T-Mobile or Verizon or whoever aren’t WISPs, they are cellular network operators. They are separate and distinct things.

Language has meaning, words have meaning. A WISP isn’t just an ISP using technology that doesn’t need a wire to your house, it’s a specific thing. You’re using it wrong.

Edit - I can put a SIM card in my MikroTik right now, then unplug the Ethernet cable that runs to my ONT box, and have unbroken internet access. That doesn’t suddenly make the cellular network provider a WISP, it makes them a cellular network provider. I’m accessing the cellular network. They’re providing me access to the network over cellular. Idk how else to explain this.

I just hit 80% capacity on my NAS, so I was already prepping to buy a couple drives this Black Friday. Maybe I’ll just buy one or two more, which should ride me through the next 4 years.

Just got a 4080s this past winter, and my CPU is still going pretty strong so I’m feeling pretty lucky. It’s fucking bullshit that I even need to think like this though.

Ah, that would make sense.

I never said anything about a microwave cooking food, I said they used microwave radios.

A hotspot is a cellular modem with a wireless lan radio. It is provided by cellular network operators in order to allow the connection of non-cellular network devices to connect to the cellular network, and thus the internet as a whole.

A WISP is not a cellular network operators, a WISP is a Wireless ISP, who provide internet to customers over wireless microwave radios.

The FCC classifies and regulates these operators as distinct entities. I am not splitting hairs, they are different.

Go to WISPAPALOOZA and tell all the WISP people that cellular operators are WISPs lol.

I guarantee you there’s no cellular network operators who are members of WISPA.

That’s not a WISP, just fyi. That’s just a cellular hot spot. Cellular hot spots operate on frequencies in the RF spectrum, the same frequencies that your cell phone connects to.

A WISP is an ISP that serves internet over microwave radios, which operate not in RF frequencies but in microwave frequencies. They might use point to multi point radios, where a radio on a mountain top feeds signal to many smaller radios at each subscribers house in a valley below. They might also have fiber to an apartment building, with fiber to each unit, then use a point to point radio as a wireless backhaul to connect another apartment building across a river that can’t have fiber run directly to it. They’ll still have fiber running to each unit in that second building though.

TLDR; cellular providers are not WISPs.

So I’m familiar with the Fiber to the Cabinet/Curb (FTTC), but the only FVA I’m familiar with is an attenuator and I know you’re not talking about checking light levels through fiber. What’s FVA in this context?

Black Friday sales are coming up if you’re in the US, start buying hard drives so you can actually download what you want and don’t have to rely on a streaming site.

The non credible defense bucket.

How the fuck is an ai going to date other wingmen for you? Is this an online thing? if so, what the fuck, are people having first dates with wingmen present on discord or some shit now? If this an in person thing, what are you going to show up to a bar alone and hand your dates friend a fucking phone to chat with all night?

I really don’t think they intended for everyone to buy it. I think they wanted to get it out into devs and enthusiasts hands, and let people who are interested but not!willing to spend that much money demo it in an Apple Store. They gives time for apps to get tested, independent devs time to port their apps over and iron out any bugs, etc.

I feel like the fact that the first one didn’t move even 100k units but they’re still working on a second generation one that will cost less proves that. That’s kind of what everyone’s being saying about this ever since the price was first announced.

Bruh. Obviously. The person said pay off their mortgage, which is distinctly different from making a mortgage payment. Jfc.

Also, the Vision Pro isn’t outrageously expensive, it’s just expensive. It’s not even just Apple. MSI, Asus, Lenovo, Dell, and Acer all have laptops in the $3,000+ range. I don’t really understand what your point is really, there’s tons of shit that I couldn’t afford for the decade I made minimum wage, but that I can afford now that I make much more. I wasn’t mad those things existed when I couldn’t afford them, and I definitely didn’t think they shouldn’t exist just because they were out of my budget.

It’s $3,500. That’s the price of a specced up MacBook Pro. That’s almost half the price of the Pro Display XDR. I mean I didn’t buy one because it is pretty expensive, plus I barely use my Index, but it’s definitely not “pay of your mortgage” level of expensive.

My dude. You are not a serious person. I’m blocking you so I don’t waste my time with you in the future. Enjoy your life I guess.

Wow you found three different articles, all about the same CVE, that the manufacture published a firmware patch for before any public disclosure was made. That’s definitely just as bad as pretending you don’t know about CVEs in your products lol.

You presented one that doesn’t have security vulnerabilities? Here’s yet another CVE out for trendnet: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-19239

Every. Single. Brand. Has. CVEs. I’ve used Mikrotik, I’ve used Cisco, I’ve used Juniper, I’ve used Ubiquiti. I have a trendnet Poe switch in my attic powering some cameras and an AP right now. I have no “problem” with any brand of anything.

I do have a problem with you implying that a company doesn’t take security seriously when they do. I start to think you’re intentionally lying when you lift up trendnet as the model, because they have quite an especially atrocious history of it.

We can go back and forth on RCEs literally all day. If your bar for using a product is “no RCEs”, get off the grid entirely my guy.

MikroTik is just as serious a network company as Cisco or Juniper, and vastly more serious from an enterprise networking point of view than trendnet.

Also where tf did OP mention anything about warranties?

Edit - lol holy shit look how customer focused trendnet is! They just plugged their ears and pretended an unauthenticated RCE in their product didn’t exist haha. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/04/no-patch-for-remote-code-execution-bug-in-d-link-and-trendnet-routers/

Edit - oof yikes look there’s more. https://www.nccgroup.com/us/research-blog/technical-advisory-multiple-vulnerabilities-in-trendnet-tew-831dr-wifi-router-cve-2022-30325-cve-2022-30326-cve-2022-30327-cve-2022-30328-cve-2022-30329/
