Neither 10G multiport routers nor L3 wirespeed switches are low power. We’re looking at 100+ W to multiple hundred watts. In 1U these are rather screamy.

The product you linked is a cheap fanless 10G layer 2 switch. It’s ok for the price, as fanless 10G enterprise switches are hard to get used.

There are suitable 10G capable Mikrotik routers however. This one, for instance: https://www.amazon.de/MikroTik-RB5009UPr-S-IN/dp/B0BBW159WW If you want wirespeed 10G routing on two or more ports it’s going to get expensive and/or noisy fast. A good compromise is a single 10G port router in a router on a stick mode used with a cheap 10G layer 2 switch.

You need at least one 10G port which is a pain on the Lenovo. There is a 10G passively cooled Mikrotik with sufficient power available.

Without VPN, they can.

That would be an oxymoron.

Your Linux distribution (which?) does not package Chrome properly. What about Chromium or any other Chrome forks? I notice your beef is about a proprietary product not working properly which you need for a proprietary service. Perhaps ChromeOS would support it better.

Megawatt is a unit of power, not energy.

No. It’s evidence for deindustrialization and dropping living standards.

My question exactly.

Unfortunately, a Pixel tablet seems my only option for an alternative ROM. Fortunately my old Galaxy Tab 5e is still working fine.

I could use a 12” tablet, but only if I can install alternative ROMs on it.

Just ordered a new 7 a so it fits the expected hardware lifetime. 335 EUR is somewhat above my phone hardware price limit but moving from LineageOS to GrapheneOS is worth it.

About that food, water, heating and electricity not being that expensive. I’m afraid that won’t be so true in the future. UK is leading here.

Another US centric article.

While you might feel (incorrectly, since you’re using Lemmy right now) that open source operating systems and the associated software ecosystem might be useless for you personally, as a blanket statement this is remarkably silly.

Has it been so long already?

Skibidi toilet.

You and me. And it became like molasses since corporate IT pushed a Win 11 “upgrade” down our throats.

Luckily there’s GrapheneOS for the Pixels. I’m thinking about buying a refurbished Pixel since my Poco X3 Pro with Lineage OS is having ghost touch issues. The only thing holding me back is less screen real estate.

As someone who’s stuck with doing the automation, it definitely doesn’t make my life easier. Or faster. It’s just stressful, full of boring complexity and annoying. First world problems, I know.
