yeah most routers come with a built in switch, bfd. Most users use at most one port on that switch.
So for $200 you get less then what you should get.
no for $200 you get exactly what you should get, a router with a built in access point. If you want more ports get a switch, for a change someone is building consumer gear that leaves how many ports you need up to you rather than building it in. This is a good thing, it will encourage people to spread out their networks a bit, place this guy in a central point and run a line to their desktop pc with a switch so they can plug in their networked printer or whatever.
Good glad you understand theres no need for more than two ports then.
For $200 it should route more than 2 physical ports.
Why do you need to route more than two networks for a home router? This is consumer grade equipment, it should only route two ports no more no less. Some routers include built in switches so they switch more than two ports, but as you just said you're not expecting to be a switch.
Especially since they will turn around and sell the information that they gather from the device.
Where in the article does it say this? Where in the specs does it say this? That would be prohibitively expensive for google to do, they're either have to vpn all of your traffic to them or be building these guys with some major deep packet inspection going on (making the hardware likely cost them far more than $200)
00 falling out of the sky not a hazard, but if he fired it at any sort of angle it likely was, if he fired it in a residential area (we know he did at least this) or a neighborhood the likelyhood of it being a risk goes up even higher
all those little pellets are far too small on their own to accelerate back to anywhere near lethal speed by simply falling.
Unless you are firing directly upwards at 90 degrees from the ground plane then you dont just have terminal velocity to worry about, you also have the original momentum from the charge in the shotgun shell to worry about. Which can in fact reach lethal speeds, hence why shooting someone with a shotgun generally kills them. Given the hazard posed by the drone falling from the sky it seems safe to assume he did not stand directly underneath the drone to fire at it. Now, if he used bird shot yes it likely was quite safe (although likely still very illegal and irresponsible) if he used 00 buckshot then it was quite unsafe (140 ft/lbs can kill and theres 8-9 pellets there) if he used a slug then there's no way anyone in their right mind should be arguing that was safe to fire in a neighborhood.
How do you know he wasn't using 00 buckshot? or lead slugs or even 3" 1oz copper slugs moving at 1550 feet per second? Even if he is using birdshot (hopefully, but the police have no way of knowing that untill they've investigated) it's still irresponsible to fire it in a residential setting where kids play nearby.
Ah yes, just good ole.330" pellets moving at 1,600 fps perfectly harmless. 3" 00 buckshot specs there since the article doesn't specify i'm just going to assume he's completely irresponsible since we already know he's firing into the air in a residential area where kids play.
Shooting at the sky is bad. Falling bullets can kill.
This is a kind of overstated "fact" not really a myth but not wholly true. A bullet fired up at 90 degrees and then falling at terminal velocity is unlikely to kill a healthy adult. The problem is when they still have horizontal velocity as they fall that horizontal velocity can be quite substantial when the angle is 45 degrees or less. This man deserved his arrest, what he did was wholly irresponsible. Destroy the drone sure but firing a gun into the air without being certain of where the bullet, or shot in this case, will make its final impact is just irresponsible. Maybe someone should make a product that fires soft nets to capture these drones and bring them to the ground?
Look into small cell foundation, The smart guys are actually trying to breed bees down in size. We managed to make them larger a while back and now we're finding that maybe that wasn't such a great idea.
systemd is actually a lot of little utilities that each do one thing. If you don't know that, you're probably getting your information from biased sources.
The 'problem' with that line of thought is the systemd utilities are specific to systemd, they dont work with other systems. The unix philosophy isnt about just having lots of different commands, but that those commands work on a standard interface (hence the whole everything is a file aspect of unix even hardware devices). The complaint he's really trying to make is that those utilities are highly specialized and work only with systemd.
Disclaimer: I don't know how true the information on systemd in this post is. I'm just trying to better articulate a point the AC was trying to make.
And this is why I won't buy any Android stuff except the "nexus" line that gets updates.
All google promises on those is 18 months of updates. Although the update to lollipop for my 2012 n7 was a pleasant surprise, it is the first time they've updated a nexus that old.
The hotspot is on a vlan seperate from the subscribers network, whats more is you have to log in with your credentials so follow this plan the only person getting an fbi visit is you.
Would it be ok if the electric company required you to aim your yard light into the street for the publics free use?
your electric company has never tried to sell you "security lighting"? It's exactly that, they charge you money to install a light that shines on the street. You have to pay every month on your bill for it.
Slaves were typically prisoners of war, ie members of one tribe that were captured by another tribe they were at war with. A lot of the "forced prison labor market" are prisoners of the war on drugs
Many studies have shown that it is healthiest to eat mostly vegetables, which is more or less the exact opposite of the paleo diet.
You sure about that? The Paleo diet I heard of involves only 19-35% of your alories from meats, the rest from vegetables. It just calls for non-starchy vegetables

RTFA: most routers come with 4 LAN ports.

My Ubiquiti Picostation has a SINGLE port and it's still a router.
No it's not. Your Ubiquiti Picostation is an access point.
It gives Google the ability to entirely remotely control your network from outside
Where does it say google has control of your network remotely?

They fly low to the ground and most of them move pretty slowly anything inside of a hundred yards will be pretty easy to hit with a slug.

Is he a convicted felon or is there merely a warrant out for his arrest? There's a HUGE difference.

The us constitution places greater importance on one of these and not the other, guess which (hint: voting is less important)
