Let’s be realistic. How many devices support a mainline version of OpenWRT and have more than one 2.5 Gbe port?

This thing is primarily a wifi router and access point. The available Ethernet ports, which are limited to what the chipset supports, are going to be more than sufficient for the majority of users.

If your main concern is wired throughput to the Internet, you are not the target audience for OpenWrt. The literal point of the OpenWrt project was to be an open source firmware for the WRT54G wireless router. The project has of course grown since then, but that is still its primary intended use case.

You are much more likely to find what you need in pfSense/OPNsense/etc, and on more powerful hardware. I would be way more concerned with the fact that it only has 1 GB RAM.

But if you still want to take that stance, there is nothing stopping you from reconfiguring the 2.5 Gbe port as a VLAN trunk and hanging it off a managed switch. Put your uplink in one VLAN and your LAN in another. That is going to be more than sufficient to saturate the 1 Gbps fiber connection that most people have (or at least asymmetrically saturate the 2 Gbps connection that some people have).

Or if you don’t like that, just do the routing on the switch. If your primary concern is wired throughput, you’ll probably already be doing that anyway. Then just use this thing as an AP, in which case the one port is sufficient.

The included MT7976C wifi can theoretically saturate the 2.5 Gbps uplink on its own. The use case is overall throughput for a mixture of wired and wireless devices.

The US National Weather Service releases updated 84-hour forecasts every 6 hours. Even with supercomputers at their disposal, due to the computational complexity of simulating physics, that is their best possible effort.

Google, meanwhile, is “developing a machine learning model that it says can accurately predict weather in seconds – not hours – and outperforms 90% of the targets used by the world’s best weather prediction systems.” Using a single desktop computer, they can generate a highly accurate 10-day forecast in under a minute.

Given this information, and given the enshittification of Google search, would you still make the same guess about their profit margins?

Fine, let them keep it. Just sue them for trademark infringement if they ever use it.

I just go where Sync goes.

Sync basically was Reddit to me, for over a decade. And now Sync goes to Lemmy. So here I am.

Does that account for cooling? Storage? Networking? Non-H100 compute and memory?

Premature optimization is a waste of time.

Active Desktop was entirely ahead of its time. Let’s not forget that it was only around a decade later that JIT-compiled JavaScript engines like V8 paved the way for web apps, including the iPhone which at launch only supported third-party apps as web apps.

And it’s about to get a lot worse if this whole no-taxes-on-tips thing actually happened.

The business model incentivizes it by not paying a wage. This is an example offer:

This isn’t even the worst one I’ve seen today, and I only do this part time for extra money.

By all means, report safety issues. Get the bad driver canned. But if you stiff the driver too, and you knew the business model of the service you used, then you’re just further incentivizing the bad behavior.

Gig work is tipped work. If they don’t tip, the driver worked for free.

The gig company “pays” the drivers a pittance, but it largely just covers a portion of the owner-operator’s expenses. 100% of the net profit comes from tips.

There are a handful of municipalities with unique laws which do not fit this model; but outside of those areas, that is straight up how it works.

Now, should the driver be reckless? No, that should be reported. But stiffing them won’t change anything.

Worse, to me, is that there is a perfectly grammatically correct way to be just as brief.

Wrong:

The bed sheets need washed.

Right:

The bed sheets need washing.

the car needs washed

Is there a name/term for this abomination? I’ve only ever heard one person speak in that form (omitting “to be”), and it has haunted me ever since.

Good. The rampant abuse of the ccTLDs is atrocious.
