Reading your post I was initially going to suggest Brocade from eBay until I got to the end. I’m not familiar with the YouTube video you referenced but I have been very happy with my ICX6610’s however I will note they are fairly loud.

Licensing is also not a problem, https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/brocade-icx-series-cheap-powerful-10gbe-40gbe-switching.21107/

Gen9’s take v3 and v4 processors, a gen8 will take v2’s.

Why were there no onboard camera views this time? Seemed odd since they included them in the first launch.

Also wish they would go back to broadcasting on YouTube, the Twitter feed was a big step backward in quality.

I found my old Stadia controller was much more stable when connected via Bluetooth

That will do fine if you do not need hardware transcoding and all your clients can direct play your files. If you do need transcoding I would suggest something with an Intel 7th Gen or higher with embedded graphics so you can utilize quicksync.

Would love to hear what people think about signal strength. I have struggled with it on a family of 6 pros.

I bit the bullet over the weekend and ordered to take advantage of the free watch offer. I have some time to cancel since delivery isn’t scheduled until near the end of November.

I’m torn about this, would really like to replace my 6 pro but this doesn’t seem like a particularly big upgrade. The modem is essentially the same garbage as in the 6. Hopefully there is a trade-in deal to make it worthwhile otherwise I might be forced to temporarily switch to a Samsung. I do like the first screen though.

What do you run in Ubuntu for your content display? I currently run Rokus to access my Jellyfin server but have plenty of unused PC hardware which could replace the Roku.

I haven’t found any family friendly (read: idiot proof) way to make the PC as easy to use as the Roku.

This is disappointing, I’ve been putting off a factory reset thinking it was coming out today.

The battery life is really horrible on my 6pro.

Can we please put someone other than Perez in a Red Bull car? I feel like Max is on this pedestal being compared to everything else but it’s mostly the car and Perez just sucks.

I’m not saying Max isn’t great just that comparing him to Perez may not be the best measurement.

Starting at $1,399.00 before you add a GPU so this blows the $1,000 budget. This is a great laptop but the price seems a bit steep.

Nathan Lowell’s The Golden Age of the Solar Clipper series is great, it’s a space opera following normal people trying to make a living in space. It’s a nice break from the hard scifi where everything goes wrong and the hero fixes everything, it’s just a nice entertaining stress free read.

For relaxing times, make it Suntory time.

We should ask the scientific community about this but only believe the 1% who dissent from reason…

I’m not sure about the ratio but I just found this at Costco and it’s amazing, plus no chocolate which is gross.
