hardware NAT? and i mean these shits usually run some form of linux?

idk i'm just a dumb retard but that doesn't sound right

it's a firmware w Linux on it, usually busybox or w/e but the good ones have hw accerated nat which is required to handle speeds for poo poo like fiber to the premise

for instance the default firmware on my router (archer c7) has the proprietary driver for the nat chip but has to do it in software when I put ddwrt on it

why not? you have the cpu set up the initial "packets meeting these parameters go here" rule when the connection is first established and then hand it off to an asic to do it as fast as possible. on consumer grade gear for the most part you lose the ability to do anything but fifo queuing but the trade off is generally worth it.

quote:

So why are we doing this now? Once upon a time, Google was one destination that you reached from one device: a desktop PC. These days, people interact with Google products across many different platforms, apps and devices—sometimes all in a single day. You expect Google to help you whenever and wherever you need it, whether it’s on your mobile phone, TV, watch, the dashboard in your car, and yes, even a desktop!

Today we’re introducing a new logo and identity family that reflects this reality and shows you when the Google magic is working for you, even on the tiniest screens. As you’ll see, we’ve taken the Google logo and branding, which were originally built for a single desktop browser page, and updated them for a world of seamless computing across an endless number of devices and different kinds of inputs (such as tap, type and talk).

Early this year, designers from all across the company, including Creative Lab and the Material Design team, convened in New York for an intense, week-long design sprint. We drafted a brief that identified four challenges we wanted to address:

A scalable mark that could convey the feeling of the full logotype in constrained spaces.

The incorporation of dynamic, intelligent motion that responded to users at all stages of an interaction.

A systematic approach to branding in our products to provide consistency in people’s daily encounters with Google.

A refinement of what makes us Googley, combining the best of the brand our users know and love with thoughtful consideration for how their needs are changing.

hm yes a geometric font of identical circles and lines sounds much more readable, especially at small sizes

i like how google keeps repeating this meme whenever they do something now

Google is not a conventional company.

if they repeat it enough the braindead zombies that work for them will believe they work for an innovative company when really they work at the new microsoft, where tech ppl go to retire

tbf goog has a massive problem with their various products being little islands of dated or improvised branding.

ie 6 was great for a long rear end time. what else were you going to use, crashes-every-hour 0.01 builds of mozilla? netscape 4 from the 90s? opera when you had to pay for it or accept ads in the browser, and it couldn't handle most web standards?

they are, but they're wrong. serifs generally help you identify letters better at long distances/small sizes, but most people think san-serif typefaces look better
