they're already building their products in such a way that you're guided repeatedly to set up cloud credentials for everything and local-only options are hidden. it's still possible to do local accounts, but they're doing their best to become meraki

that's everything anymore, as long as they don't prohibit local setup entirely i can click "cancel" a whole bunch.

Once i grown tired of unifi bullshit, i moved to zyxel nebulaflex. If you feel that the government is watching you you can run them standalone, otherwise you can run them on cloud-based management.

Subjunctive posted:

the UniFi in-wall APs that are also 3-port switches (one with PoE pass through) have been so handy for getting good coverage in the house and not having to stash little switches in various rooms, but I don’t see anyone else who makes them, least of all with 6E/2.5GbE

I guess I just live with it for another few years until someone attacks Ubiquiti by not having the cloud bullshit (until their number has to go up)

i have a couple of these but they're Wi-Fi 6 / 1GbE devices with a mediatek chipset

https://www.tp-link.com/us/business-networking/omada-sdn-access-point/eap615-wall/

the EAP615-Wall is supported by OpenWRT and trivial to re-flash if you're into that sort of thing.

they also have a thicker unit with a qualcomm chipset, but still Wi-Fi 6 / 1GbE

https://www.tp-link.com/us/business-networking/omada-wifi-wall-plate/eap655-wall/

personally i'd skip Wi-Fi 6E and wait for Wi-Fi 7. apparently there are products that use mediatek's Wi-Fi 7 SoC in the pipeline.

for 2.5 GbE PoE i have a VLAN-capable netgear MS108EUP which is kind of nice for feeding a few APs.

if i needed a lot of 1 GbE PoE ports in a rackmount form factor i'd get a refurbished EOL cisco switch from Network Tigers for like a couple hundred bucks. but i also don't mind janitoring the cisco IOS CLI (as long as it's a real cisco catalyst switch and not the garbage cisco "small business" switches). i have a couple of 3560's on UPS/generator power with 5 years of uptime.

The court heard that Kurtaj had been violent while in custody with dozens of reports of injury or property damage.

Doctors deemed Kurtaj unfit to stand trial due to his acute autism so the jury was asked to determine whether or not he committed the alleged acts - not if he did so with criminal intent.

quote:

Another Lapsus$ member, who is 17 and cannot be named because of his age, was found guilty in the same trial, which lasted six weeks at Southwark Crown Court.

He worked with Kurtaj and other members of Lapsus$ to hack tech giant Nvidia and phone company BT/EE and steal data before demanding a four million dollar ransom, which was not paid.

They also stole directly from individuals through their cryptocurrency wallets.

The 17-year-old was sentenced to an 18 month long Youth Rehabilitation Order, including intense supervision and a ban on using VPNs online.

As well as hacking offences the boy was sentenced for what the judge described as "unpleasant and frightening pattern of stalking and harassment" of two young women.

interesting about wifi 7! is that going to be backwards compatible, in that Wifi 6E devices will get 6E performance, or will the get whatever they’re getting now? I am quite interested in 6E for streaming to my Steam Deck

the thing I love about the UniFi in-walls is that they’re also switches so I get a few extra ports for things, but those need to be 2.5GbE for it to matter to the stuff in the office. maybe I stick the AP in the ceiling on its own run, and just use a normal switch in the office

you can still do the local only installs and host your own unifi controller instance not connected to cloud services, and by the time that's no longer supported you'll probably be ready to replace the gear anyway.

He needs help, which there are places that can give him.

That's probably not what he's going to get by an indefinite court-ordered hospital detention.

you probably know this already, but you can export the config via the web ui and it works for a restore via a new install. they've moved the option a couple times in the last few releases but it's still there.
