the latest kickstarter craze is this thing which is "a tor hardware router" and there's a ton of articles everywhere talking about how great it is going to be

except it's literally one of these

I think it was obvious from the slashdot announcement it was just the software packaging of Tor on a portable wireless router.

It's very close but I'd love to see a basic WiFi router that can connect to a local WiFi network, open up an OpenVPN tunnel, and create a new SSID that routes all traffic through the tunnel. Fast enough that Netflix and similar work is good enough.

but if it was then he couldn't put it on kickstarter, he has to make something

so he's gone on reddit to say that the product he's selling and has been demonstrating is a completely different hardware product than the one on that chinese website

i can actually see the use of a laptop with a second monitor on the back of the first one, so it's easier for someone else to see what's on your screen. i don't know how many of those you'd be able to sell, though

Do not engage. Just tell me to go back to Kiwi Farms where I waste days upon days crying about how I wasted years upon years on SA. Did you know I was personally responsible for SA's rise in popularity in the 00's? It's true! Just come to the Farms and find out how! It's the trash kingdom I deserve.

yeah i was thinking that too, you can barely power a fuckin' hard drive over usb

e: actually i take this back, current over usb 3.0 isn't that bad. powering a monitor still seems tough though

Netflix proves that it can be true, but I don't think IBM are advertising that they own double dippers Comcast and Verizon?
