Check if it has a bridge mode. That will bypass the routing function and make it operate as a basic modem. Then you can connect your own router to it. If it doesn't, you can still enable the DMZ function, turn off the WiFi and connect your own router, but it will slightly increase latency.

Don't buy anything with a 13th or 14th generation Intel processor.

This is why you never use ISP provided hardware or cheap consumer grade crap.

Well, they won't be able to sell as many new computers if they let people keep using their old ones.

FAT32 is also really simple to implement. Supporting exFAT may require a larger microcontroller with more memory, which results in a more expensive product.

My entire network runs IPv6. I don't have any windows machines though.

The current version of MO2 runs very smoothly on wine, even with hundreds of mods loaded. There is even an install script to simplify the installation on Linux.

Just be sure to use wine 9 or proton 9. MO2 v2.5.0 and later will not run on older versions of wine.

Unless you're using ancient hardware, you already have an internet connected back door in your CPU.

Super capacitors are great for when high charge or discharge rates are needed. They can be charged in seconds. Unfortunately the energy density is significantly worse than batteries and they self discharge in days.

If a typical phone was super capacitor powered, it would weight 5kg and be bigger than a 1980's Motorola.

That's a 13C charge rate, a normal lithium battery would get very hot and puff up, possibly even catching on fire.

To safely charge at that rate, you need a battery that is specifically designed for it. High speed charging will probably be a lot more common when phones start using solid state batteries though.

Another test flight will be a bit of a problem. There are no spare Atlas V rockets. They will either have to convince Amazon to give up one of theirs or they will have to launch one of the missions on Vulcan Centaur, which is not currently crew rated.

Yes, being able to design something and have it in my hands it a few hours definitely makes it worth it. With 3D printing services it takes days or weeks and they get expensive fast.
