I loved synology, this is such a punch in the gut. After I adopted them myself like 10ish years ago, I converted my dad, and two seperate friends to pick one up too. Never going back now.

I have a bpi-r4, it’s fantastic, totally recommended.

No idea about its wifi 7 though, I didn’t buy the addon board, and went with unifi u7’s instead.

Also, looking at the specs of the upcoming openwrt two devices, with only a single 10g port, it won’t work well if you’re getting 10gig service from your ISP, and have a 10g lan as well

There’s an Interesting history of American cars in Japan. Ford had an incredible failure here, and had to leave with egg on their face, which is incredible because the mandatory vehicle inspections every couple of years make it the easiest country on the planet for dealerships to make money.

They tax vehicles by engine displacement though, so all those massive engines would be super unpopular, and as I understand it, they also shipped left hand drive cars here, which is absolutely unpractical.

One wonders why they didn’t just ship UK market fords here, they have the steering wheel on the right side, and the smaller size would be more likely to appeal to drivers with more narrow streets.

It is common to see chargers and mustang on the road in Tokyo though, but they’re all grey market imports.
