Any switch that does not say cisco on it is a good switch.

I’d argue that a real Leica would make me a better photographer than my FED. But that’s more because my camera is really worn out and the Leica I’d buy if I had the money would be in better shape.

Airpods are severely overpriced. Especially the “max” model.

And then apple will throw them away for you. Not really good for the environment either.

Nice to see another person brainwashed by apple into thinking their headphones are in any way good or enjoyable to listen to.

Wireless earbuds are the epitome of disposable electronics. You have them two years, boom, the battery is toast and you throw them away for a new pair.

Get some real IEMs and enjoy headphones that sound a heck of a lot better than the wireless crap apple is selling.

Unattended updates are a recipe for trouble. I’d never enable that.

I have no public services apart from 2 OpenVPN servers. To access everything else I connect to one of the OpenVPNs and use the services through the VPN routings.

The VPN can only be accessed if you possess a cert and key. I could even implement 2fa but for now SSL auth works securely enough.

Pixel 6a and the headphones connected through either a USB DAC or my trusty BTR-3K.

You would not want to buy this E-Waste for that much money.

Definitely not. You’d have to pay me money to take this trash off your hands.
