FWIW, blocking policy on 2 blocks (at least some, Qobuz for me) streaming sites and bandcamp (bandcamp being the more problematic one as every band is on their own subdomain and you can’t (I think) just allow all of them).

I seem to have no problems streaming from either Bandcamp or Qobuz, the latter which I'd never heard of before. (or as far as I'm aware any other site) I intentionally want to click-to-play on every site out there, so perhaps you mean "blocks autoplay" or somesuch?

I want to always play full albums, the way 2 is implemented seems to require a click for every track

Not GP but I’m trying to figure out what you’re insinuating. > For tougher environments or deployments with poor indoor cellular coverage, the outdoor model maintains the same high performance cellular connectivity with improved antenna performance in a durable IP67 rated enclosure. It is built for rooftop installs, off site locations, and mobile deployments where reliability is critical. Just like its indoor counter…

Your quote lists mobile deployments, their bullet point also says: >Built for rooftops, remote sites, and vehicle based setups They are insinuating if you actually read their press release then you would not state it was targeted only at stationary deployments. Based on the spec sheet 2 out of its 6 antennas are directional, this is probably a 4x4 modem so it must have some way to switch 2 antenna from directional to…

There are range gains to be had from using a directional antenna. If you wanted to install this on a vehicle you could put it on a mount that rotates towards sources of a set frequency.

nod We have different use cases, for my browser use I'm using it as described mainly for one-off playing of content (think like watching a single video from a hotlink, checking out a single track or two from a new band, etc.). For streaming I'm a shoutcast/icecast oriented person, tried and true. :)

1x PCIE 3.0 has 8 Gbps raw speed - for 2.5Gbps duplex Ethernet you'll need 6~7 Gbps of raw link to CPU. For 5Gbps and higher, you'll need another PCIE line - and SOHO motherboards are usually already pretty tight on PCIE lanes. 10GbE will require 4x3.0 lanes

> 10GbE will require 4x3.0 lanes 3.0 PCIE is irrelevant today when it comes to devices you want on 10G. I'm pretty sure the real reason is that 2.5G can comfortably run on cable you used for 1G[1], while 10G get silly hot or requires transceiver and user understanding of a hundred 2-3 letter acronyms. Combine it with IPS speeds lagging behind. 2.5G while feels odd to some, makes total sense on consumer market. [1]: a…

Thanks for fresh Realtek RTL8127 - 10GbE is now cool and cheap. Is is also okayish on short cat 5e cables.

PCIe is full duplex. And there's no requirement for ethernet ports to be able to do full tilt. Even with a 1x PCIe 3.0, a 10G port will be much much better than a 2.5G one. (But PCIe 3.0 of course is from 2010 and isn't too relevant today - 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 and 7.0 have 16/32/64/128 Gbps per lane respectively)

It is relevant, SOHO boards still use PCIE 3.0 to attach NICs, i.e. https://tech4gamers.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/B650-AORU...

Agree that 10G would be still better, but OEMs couldn't write 10G on their hw while it is capped to 7Gb

Are motherboards commonly using PCIe 3.0 for onboard peripherals these days? I wouldn’t expect it to save them much money, but my PCIe knowledge is constrained to the application layer - I know next to nothing about the PHY or associated costs.

Yes, i.e. https://tech4gamers.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/B650-AORU...
