Ubiquiti Dream Router and a couple of WiFi 6 Access Points. Excellent WiFi is so underrated and not as common as we might think. It has allowed me to work comfortably in all corners of the house as well as outside when the weather is nice, all without skipping a beat during calls. Highly recommend setting up a proper WiFi network and looking into this more prosumer level hardware which has been rock-solid for me.
I feel really burned by Ubiquiti. I had ~5 cameras with their PoE switch and originally the NVR, which was flaky, and later the CloudKey G2. I was considering replacing my Google wifi 4-node setup with Ubiquiti. I regularly had problems with cameras not coming back up after a power outage or firmware updates. Then at one point a switch update caused a the Google wifi nodes to start being shut off because of loop detection and there was no way to turn it off. Then a year later most of the cameras bricked during one of their firmware updates.
The Google setup has been pretty nice, though sometimes it gets into a weird state where wireless performance goes into the toilet.
I'm currently playing with a Ruckus R620 from ebay, which seems to be some really solid Enterprise gear that you can get for around $250 on ebay, used.
I am literally researching now for a home network upgrade. Been running Dr-wrt on a linksys for years and WiFi is starting to get super unreliable. Can you say more about your ubiquiti experience?
I am looking at ubiquiti, meraki go, and aruba instant but am open to ideas.
Same here, the UDM Pro [1] and any of their U6 WiFi APs [2] are great. I went the extra mile and wired up each room with 2-3 ports, so had to get one of their PoE switches because you quickly run out port space on the UDM.
There are many 24hr turn PCB fab houses too. Usually costs an extra 150-200RMB for that service, which by western standards is still an absolute steal.
Well, I think the ones that were around before the tech influx will certainly be able to ride out slower times better than the restaurants/services that have come up as a direct result of the influx of tech folk.
Didi will soon allow drivers and passengers to select each other based on their shared interests. It already has a deal with LinkedIn, to let people join up their accounts on the two networks. The intention of such initiatives is that white-collar workers, who often endure daily commutes of an hour or two, will have more fruitful journeys during which business, friendship and maybe even romance will develop.
True, but like you pointed out, it might not have made a difference as he proceeded to go on a drinking binge and be bitter about the whole situation. Perhaps if he kept his head on straight, he would've still had a moderately successful career in boxing.
I couldn't agree more with true greats are persistent individuals. He simply let his emotions get the best of him.
I agree with most of what you've pointed out here. It seems that after you read, you realize that it's more of a story on execution and not the launch per se.
The way they were able to start small and rapidly iterate on what their customers needed 'now' is what kept users on the platform, and thus word began to travel amongst founders.
Hi, I'm Tony, Co-founder at Classlerts. I'm a 5th year Mechanical Engineering major at UC Merced. One of my best friends/co-founder introduced me to startup culture years back and I've been hooked ever since. Looking to meet new and interesting people tomorrow and know it'll be a good time. I'll be there tomorrow morning and am up to grab some coffee with anyone before the event begins. Reach me at tony@classlerts.com. Thanks.
Anyone going to the Dropbox/Weebly after party at The Parlor in SF tomorrow?
