This whole article was one big excuse to share product links.   I mean, I like Aukey and Anker, but I’m just stating the obvious here because we all have to be good at something, right?

What do you do when your air powered impact wrench can’t remove a nut that is well over 1" in diameter, on tighter nervous fart, and is pinched at the closest end just to make sure that it is so tight it won’t come off by accident, even if you’re a 300lb linebacker on the end of a torque bar?

Who has 3 of them? I have 1 wireless router that covers 95% of my home perfectly and 2 very cheap ($40 to $70) directional multifunction wifi devices that provide coverage outside that can be setup as AP-Bridge/Router/WiFi Client or more.

I never said that everyone needs a $450 router. I never said that most people need that. I simply stated that in your blanket “no one needs a $450 router” that in my setup, I do. Now if that router were to die tomorrow, it would only cost me about $250 to replace. Such is the nature of electronics. I certainly don’t…

I’ve clearly explained that a $450 router saved me $1000 in hardware and wiring costs and is part of a MUCH larger picture than your bullshit blanket statement takes into account. You tried to tell me what “I” needed and you are flat out f-ing wrong, but can’t admit it. You tried to say that “no one needs a $450…

My house isn’t a factory. Your “solution” ignores the facts of this 1955 house. There is nowhere to run the cabling for access points.

Yeah, I was pretty skeptical of them at first, but they’ve been amazing. One of them brand new was about $90 I think, but the rest of them, once older, were about $50, and at that point I went ahead and bought an extra one to have a spare on hand in case one of them fails.

Yes because you really understand my situation better than I do.

More than happy to share. I took a little bit of a risk in getting them as I hadn’t read much about how well they work, but it seemed like they would work well. Having worked with them a bit, I’ve been very happy. There is a default IP address on the radio, so you will need to configure a static IP address on your…

I have a TP-Link CPE510 at my house pointed at a CPE510 on my neighbors house. My house is configured as the AP and his is in Client mode configured to connect to my AP. I could setup a VLAN but I haven’t bothered yet. He’s behind a router anyway.

I shared my point of view with the title being my starting off point. Do I think the title should be taken 100% literally? No. Should you take my response to it 100% literally: No. Communication is never that straight forward. I just wanted to show something that is personal to me and why the premise of the article is…

I’ve heard others have had good results with the UniFi. I’m certainly glad to hear it. When I was setting mine up, I wasn’t aware of Ubiquiti’s offerings in that area or maybe they hadn’t fully matured that way. They have had some pretty serious security issues (not that other brands haven’t). I only mention it to…

I agree on the first part.  I’ll clarify the second part of what you said:  They would pick up about 6 or 7 customers for life if they ran the lines 0.2 miles down to my dirt road and then down my road.  Probably almost $600 a month or $7,000 per year.

Covering a house that is 2 stories, 100 feet long, built in 1955, and getting signal in a couple of important areas outside.... yeah actually I do need a $450 router. I don’t need “that” $450 router, but in order to do a good job I have one high end router that can do some pretty darn good beamshaping, and I have 2…

I really get annoyed when people decide up front what a piece of work (in this case a movie) is and then later get upset at all the things the movie isn’t because it doesn’t match their narrow biased up front view of what it was. Let the movie, book, song, painting, sculpture, whatever speak for itself.

More than happy to discuss. I hope you find it helpful in the longrun.

Happy to share. If you find that handy, you can also edit Amazon links. Remove all the bla-bla-bla-bla in the link and leave only the /dp/BQ12345678 or whatever the item code is. Items that have multiple variations in them will have a little more following that which you might want to keep, but there is often a lot of…

Dunno if you can edit your post, but out of all the crap eBay gives you in their link, this is all it really need: https://www.ebay.com/itm/254649643602

I made clarified butter / ghee, and tried that to make popcorn. It’s absolutely fantastic. To make good ghee, you have to get rid of the milk solids that float, skimming it off regularly, and keep cooking until it is a medium brown (not super dark and not light.). I try to set the heat so it is boiling around 220-225…

Sure, but that relies on the images being tagged further with those keywords... (hit or miss...). However images are already indexed by subject matter color. So, my suggestion was meant in the same area as “at the very least”.
