    Car Change...

    I agree completely :) Kingfisher blue (originally an Audi colour from the 90s), I've only seen one other example in the same colour, though quite a few in flat grey and silver. Not a common car, though they are around if you look for them.

    Car Change...

    A bit of a delay between flash and bang...but I said I'd update thread, and then life happened. I ended up looking at a number of different cars after my last post; BMW 5 series Tourings (I really didn't want another 3 series, i've worked out over 20 years i've had 4, each progressively worse...

    Not for everyone, but a bleeding edge version which is updated pretty much in real time (includes LuCI and other quality of life things): https://forum.openwrt.org/t/mt6000-custom-build-with-luci-and-some-optimization-kernel-6-6-x/185241/147 NB. Due to lack of time I've not tried this myself...

    Which router

    Most of the problems reported regarding WiFi with this router relate to the 2.4Ghz band and it's interaction specifically with Apple devices in the main. Not the 5Ghz. I have a Quest 3 and oddly enough used a Huawei Ax3 3000 (very similar to your Honor) for PCVR until recently, the MT6000 is...

    Which router

    No. The GL.int firmware is based on open source software (OpenWRT) with some closed source parts (their GUI and latterly Mediatek closed source drivers in v4.5.8 of their software). If you were to put OpenWRT on it then it would be entirely open source. It is certainly not like TP-Link where...

    Which router

    As above the Flint 2 GL-MT6000 does have 1GB of RAM. Also 8GB of storage. The Flint 1 only has 512MB of RAM so maybe the 2 are getting conflated in the OP. I have had one for a week or so and bought it primarily to mess with OpenWRT on an all in one device. It is a solid option at a fraction of...

    I did take note actually, as I was interested myself, it was 13dBm (20ish mW).

    Quick and dirty setup (running the GLi.int firmware v4.5.6), it is running as an AP at the moment and I haven't fiddled apart from the minimal to get things running. wlan1 ESSID: "GL-MT6000-8ce-5G" Access Point: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx Mode: Master Channel: 149 (5.745 GHz)...

    It's a fairly low risk punt as I can send it back if it doesn't perform. I'll check out the outputs and post back when I set it up.

    Yes, you've summarised it perfectly in your two posts above, hence my neutral tone in my previous posts, it really is the case of "you can please some of the people all the time, but not all of the people all the time" especially when the FOSS crowd are involved. I'm sure it'll work out for both...

    It seems some have taken great umbrage at what was promised and the announcement that the would be developing the official firmware on an older version of OpenWRT. But you are right the noise to signal ratio of some of the posts do seem a bit for the sake of having something to moan about.

    Sure; https://forum.gl-inet.com/t/updates-on-flint-2s-recent-firmware-version-pulling-back-v4-5-7-and-releasing-v4-5-8-soon/40249 - official announcement from their forums. Rolling back to using OpenWRT 21.02. Simply a toy to play with, and it's cost isn't that much more than a comparable AP...

    I have been reading around looking at getting the GL-MT6000 for in the short term replacing an elderly Asus RT-AC68U as a dumbap for my network (I currently route everything through a RPi4 with OpenWRT). It seems to have some teething troubles with WiFi and it's 2.5gb ports which have caused...

    Massive Car insurance costs?

    Excuse my ignorance; but on my current car you can disable the keyless/comfort entry by locking via the fob and the touching one of the door handles. Does this then negate the need for a faraday pouch/cage and relay attacks?

    Backdoor found in widely used Linux utility

    A lot to be said about using a LTS build. Checked my installs this morning and most are still on 5.4.1 (affected version is 5.6). LTS, stable and testing. This got caught in testing, so at least shows the system works.

    The Radeon RX 6900/6950 XT Owners Thread.

    I think 100C (to 105C?) is "fine" for a 6900 (if you can stand the noise!) but I also seem to remember further back in this thread that a 6950 shouldn't go over 90/95C on hotspot iirc.

    AMD Radeon drivers reliable enough to warrant buying one

    I've had lots of ATI/AMD cards all the way back to a 9700 Pro and before. I've also had a fair few Nvidia cards back to the TNT2 Ultra. Mostly, ownership of both has been trouble free for both or only minor issues for a particular game, and nothing a 5 minute Google search couldn't fix (at...

    Skull and bones

    I watched the Skill Up review where he spends 46 minutes by turns damning and "kinda" defending Skull and Bones. The irony is, the video's sponsors is a company called "Manscaped" who specialise in shavers for your nutsack. Which says all you need to know I think... Coincidence? ;)

    What PC games are you playing?

    After reading a recommendation a while back in this thread of Pikmin type games I am currently playing through Tinykin, it makes fun light relief (and has replaced really) playing through The Last of Us Part One for the moment. I also bought Wild at heart at the same time and if it is half a...
