More interested right now if there'll be any info on 7.1, Pixel Launcher, Google Assistant etc. for previous Nexuseses. And if Google Home might be any good as an Echo/Alexa competitor.

Edit: Release date 20th October?

Even then they aren't designed to power something. it may work, but it's not supposed to.

Thats not true, a number of them even advertise the power rating on the port specifically for this reason.

Again, I'm a network engineer, I'm painfully aware of how to make things work or how to extend things. It's why during the winter months in Portland I'm running CAT-6 everywhere. I hate inconsistency with my network connections, it pisses me off in a very irrational way.

Having your whole house wired is wonderful. I did it before we moved into the house we purchased.

48 port Leviton full length. My rack is 42U because I'm running *everything* to that thing. Audio, video, network, storage, all centralized and managed.

Edit: https://www.cdw.com/shop/products/Tripp-Lite-42U-Rack-Enclosure-Server-Cabinet-Premium-EXCLUSIVE-PRICE/858765.aspx

I believe this is my rack. Got it for free after decomming a bunch of stuff at work and we no longer had a use for it.

Ballin. Already got a switch? I got a 48 port hp and a 24 port netgear poe i think sitting in the garage.

Is the 48 poe? I've got a 48 but it isn't poe...

I may be interested in the 24. Is it full length? Do you have ears for it?

Edit: 10/100/1000 for both I assume?

Let me check when I get home. ill pm you. The 24 port is full length. It may only be 10/100 though. Ill PM you tonight.

Did anyone see if the Google WiFi router will work with a regular router? My modem has a WiFi router built in but I'd like to extend the range to be more reliable in my bedroom, plus I'm a dumb idiot bitch for Google stuff.

I would expect it to, in fact most every router can be if you turn off the dhcp server.

I wonder if the symmetrical bezels and their size have something to do with daydream and the VR headset.

Might make sense to make it easier to position the screen properly. I also wonder about the thermal design since there are quotes that the 6P lacks the proper thermal capabilities to support daydream.

It has to do with HTC reusing poo poo.
