They think that their domination is strong enough so that after an initial backlash, the users will come back since they have nowhere else to go. And they’re kind of right.

It’s strange how the Internet has been flooded by this news. Like leave Google alone or Firefox gets it. Very strategic use of the media might I say.

If you are curious whether Ubiquiti ditched the fan on the new U7 Pro Max, well, I have some bad news for you. I opened the device and this is the teardown video.

Some data is definitely collected especially if the router is made for mainland China.

Ladies and gentle gents, I give you yet another marvelous router review, this time from China (hopefully with the doors closed in the back)

Skip the gloomy tech news a bit and just enjoy some good ol' router reviews with tests and stuff.

This may be an unpopular opinnion.. Let me get this straight. We get big tech corporations to read the articles of the web and then summarize to me, the user the info I am looking for. Sounds cool, right? Yeah, except that why in the everloving duck would I trust Google, Microsoft, Apple or Meta to give me the correct info, unbiased and not curated? The past experiences all show that they will not do the right thing. So why is everyone so OK with what's going on? I just heard that Google may intend to remove sources. Great, so it's like trust me bro.

I tested the Intel BE200 and the Qualcomm NCM865 using the EnGenius ECW536 and these are the results that I got.

If you were planning to get an Intel WiFi 7 PCI adapter, watch this video first. I checked the single-client throughput using both BE200 and a WiFi 6E adapter. And the results were .... underwhelming.

Is this Markiplier?

[-] SamB@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

I agree that it's very early to go with WiFi 7 at the moment. The issue that I have with the current situation is that Qualcomm managed to make a Wi-Fi 7 adapter which apparently works with AMD and Intel, while the BE200 is 'locked' to their platform only. They didn't even go with CNVi this time. It's just strange and may sway people towards a certain platform due to a simple compatibility issue like this.

It seems that Intel is gatekeeping WiFi 7 and I analyzed the options that we currently have.

Since it seems that the link has been removed, I will try to add it in the comments: https://www.mbreviews.com/asus-rt-ax88u-pro-wifi-6-router-review/ What a strange occurrence

I recently finished testing the ASUS RT-AX88U Pro and you can see for yourself the results that I got.

But this is not entirely the point of this post. The problem is that the search engines have become weird, so I need to ask you, the user, if this type of content is useful.

So please let me know if the type of tests that I ran are useful and clear enough. If I can add something or need to remove specific info.

I also intend to move towards video format and to be honest, translating all this written info into a comprehensive video is incredibly overwhelming.

Which is why I need your advice about what needs to be improved. Thank you!

Ah. So just a couple of whale hunting seasons away from extinction.

Yeah well.. Nuclear is too expensive and now I heard another rethoric on how renewables are not making enough profit to be worth it for the big companies. We’re going in circles before these people admit that coal and gas won’t be replaced by anything.

I asked this same question on Reddit and I got zero engagement, so perhaps Lemmy has people that care more about their hardware.

I recently decided to use some of the tools provided by Mr Salter (netburn) and I have to ask the community if you want to see multi-client stress tests (4K streaming, VoIP, web browsing) used on a wireless router or if the single-client iperf tests are good enough. Bear in mind that pretty much all publications that still test their devices (most don't) rely on the single-client test method.

Sure, it will cool down in a few million years. We’ll be fine.

[-] SamB@lemmy.world 51 points 1 year ago

Genius idea. Give people more reason to be outside.

[-] SamB@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Exactly. Dehumanise a certain category of people, so it’s easier to hate, punch and kill. It’s better to educate these people and to make them understand that they’re going the wrong path. Violence leads to radicalisation. It’s funny how nazis used this same mentality against other people. Well, not funny, just sad.
