  • Just a couple thoughts (I have a mix of 2.5Gb and 10Gb):

    • Mikrotik switches are a nice alternative to Unifi. Much less lipstick on the UI but reliable and fairly priced.

    • If possible, you’ll probably want to use your own router rather than the all-in-one provided by the ISP. In my case, the router provided to me (Eero brand) did not even have a port fast enough for my service, and would have been an instant bottleneck.

    • Options for 10Gb-capable PCIe adapters (what you might put in your server or desktops) are more limited (at least they were when I transitioned a couple of years ago). Intel-based network adapters seem to require less effort to get working (driver-wise) vs. some of the other 10Gb / SFP+ capable adapters.

    Finally, you are correct: nobody needs an 8Gb internet connection. Aside from well-seeded torrent file transfers, you will never reach that limit (and probably still never). And, you’ll need an adequate storage backend to write that fast.

    I’ve had a folding Samsung for the past year and it’s really great. The hardware and software do need time to mature (in fact, the phone is nearly useless in “folded” mode without third-party apps), but at this point I don’t think I could go back.

    Having moved server racks, copiers and other equipment from site to site, I am thankful for my (light) truck. Cargo vans are more popular in IT since they protect from rain and sun but a flatbed is certainly better than trying to put heavy, sharp-cornered things on fabric or leather in the back of a passenger car nearly the same size as my (light) pickup.

    What’s the difference between one technology you don’t understand (AI engine-assisted ) and another you don’t understand (human-staffed radiology laboratory)?

    Regardless of whether you (as a patient hopelessly unskilled in diagnosis of any condition) trust the method, you probably have some level of faith in the provider who has selected it. And, while they most likely will choose what is most beneficial to them (cost of providing accurate diagnoses vs. cost of providing less accurate diagnoses), hopefully regulatory oversight and public influence will force them to use whichever is most effective, AI or not.


  • They could have gone with a “visor” frame design that would have been more fashionable, but I think this is pretty impressive for demonstrating the bare minimum amount of plastic needed to house holographic transparent displays, internal/external tracking sensors, and a sound system.

    What they claim these glasses can do is absolutely incredible (we won’t really know because they are only being used internally for further development).
