My good friend is a network engineer and provider in NYC for decades now, pretty good one at that. Has anyone deployed UniFi in a computer centric professional environment? Just to be more specific a bit, computer centric professional environment means networks and computers are the primary way of getting job done. He hasn't seen any UniFi but his home is all UniFi.

#202How does this differ from Invisagig?

In locations where fiber is not available (like my place), cable is the next best option, and cable has a lot more unexpected downtime. I could see this being a good backup, especially for small businesses like retail shops that couldn't afford to have their POS go down for half a day.
Agreed retail is a good customer for this tech. But even after getting fiber personally, it gets cut a lot by landscaping crews. Most of the time it’s a residential line that takes a day to fix. But a few times it’s been a main line and it takes 3-4 days. Maybe I’m unusual but that’s been my experience
Why are landscaping crews cutting wires on poles in the sky?

#204I am confused, this is just a 5G router right? Like the 5 year old Huawei CPE Pro 2 but with wifi7, poe and eSim? [1] https://consumer.huawei.com/en/routers/5g-cpe-pro-2/
The big question is why do we need 5g? My phone doesn’t support it and my internet is fast enough as long as I have good coverage. Coverage problems are only exaggerated by 5G since the range for short waves is shorter
See living near a concert venue. 4G behaves badly in a terrain of 100k phones

but that one isn't outdoor rated.
Why do you need the entire integrated setup to be outdoor-rated? That just adds tons of cost. If the antennas and modem need to be outside for signal strength reasons, so be it, but as much of your networking gear as possible should be indoors.
Construction projects, festivals, etc. Bad cellular reception is more likely to be an issue far from other infrastructure.

Most of those chips are made in TSMC or samsung foundries, the majority of which are currently in China or South Asia.
Realtek windows drivers literally have taiwnese written text. They are as American as Lego
I really dont see what your comment means in response to the current thread?

There are plenty of outdoor plastic enclosures, mostly RF-transparent, that are intended to hold network equipment.

Can it be reflashed
there's sadly no community solution AFAICT
Why cant an android phone with ethernet tethering to a router suffice?
I've done this using an android phone, usb-c hub w/ethernet nic, and and edgerouter lite before.
The biggest missing piece i see is the option for an external antenna.

There are brands specifically for those markets though. Complaining about Ubiquiti not making a product for that specific use case feels like complaining about a Honda Civic not being an offroad-capable Jeep.

#210OT: Does anyone know of a setting or extension for Firefox to stop those autoplaying videos? I have gifs disabled, prefers-reduced-motion on, and those videos in that article both autoplay, and start again after pausing them manually. I have no idea what the article is about (except what the title says) because I kept getting distracted by the annoying videos.
Settings => Search for "Autoplay" => Click "Settings..." => For "Default for all websites" select "Block Audio and Video".
Thanks, I also noticed they allowlisted the FF about page...which is a bit cheeky.
