Bean warmer.

Beam former.

Two for the price of one.

Okay but can you please explain how it is not for sits, given that it is unequivocally made of warm?

::: spoiler Maybe get a cat thermal pad. They are always cold. I had issues with mine cuddling up to my warm thighs after a physical therapy cycling routine. She was causing issues so I got a pad on a hunch and a whim about her thermal motivation. She is on this thing ~23/7 since 2020.

I actually have one, as well as a 3d printer, I was sort of toying with the idea of taking the thermal pad, printing a base that looks like my router, and installing some tiny fans to blow the slightly warm air upwards, it would be a biggish product but I'd be down for her to keep the spot while I keep my router free of heat damage

I actually did a similar project for her which you can see in the Bottom left, it's a little monitor that actually works and used to play bird videos so she could sit next to my desk and feel like she had her own monitor. Since then I've repurposed it to run a media server but she still gets to look at it i suppose . The back says peppersoft

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago

She is a very pretty, spicy girl

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Wouldn’t work unless it was more expensive or fragile than the router ;-)

Do the red racing stripes make it zoom faster?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago

It's to hone the palantir's connection to the other 6 palantirs

[–] [email protected] 27 points 3 months ago

If not for sits why is it made of warm?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 months ago

Regular router maintenance...

  • dusting - check
  • hairballs - severe

Lil bonus pic from this morning of her really relaxing cause people seem to enjoy her

Router warmth benefit increased by surrounding turrets.

I'm always more at ease when I'm well defended by turrets.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago

I hung my router on the wall and replaced it with a warming pad. It’s all adorable fun and games until your router’s cooling vents get clogged with floof.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Does she give you tortitude if you try to move her?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago

Holy fuck she gives it even if you don't

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago

I heard before that the internet was for transmitting lolcats but this is getting ridiculous(ly cute)!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago

Gorgeous kitty! 😻

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

If I were a goddess I'd make an evil throne out of your $200 router too.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

Can you flip it upside down so it looks like they are riding a robot spider?

Aww what a beautiful kitty, would most definitely kick peppers ass though when she went to start a fight 😂 she's tiny but she won't accept that fact

Looks exactly like several video game mini bosses standing on their evil spawn points.

I have that router. It's a great router. Never drops out, never needs to be reset. It just works, and works well.

My only complaint is that it has a tendency to refuse to switch back to a DFS channel once the airwaves are clear, but I mostly use ethernet anyway so it's not the end of the world. I'm just happy to finally own a router that does what it's supposed to without needing a power cycle every few weeks.

Edit: Model is Toilet Paper-Link Archer AX11000

NGL, i was a little disappointed when i scrolled down and she wasn't sitting on this. Yours is probably more comfy!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

One does not simply walk into Mordor

Cats like heat

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (5 children)

Serious question. What does a $200 router do that my shitty Xfinity One doesn't?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago

A lot of the ISP provided routers don't even let you change the DNS.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago (4 children)

Better range, better speeds, better control panel, and some extra features that can be great for gaming or self-hosting servers (eg: network-wide adblocker, nat loopback)

Makes a nice kitty throne for plotting world domination.

You leave her cat bed alone!

All hail Queen Pepper!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Is that the one where like 4 of 6 antennas are fake?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Well I sure hope not, they all seem to weigh the same and use gold connectors but I guess you never know

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

My cats love to get behind my servers. When I’m running a compute job and the fans spin up my cats scurry over to bask in the heat

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Lucky, getting free cat-ions all day long

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Pepper says "Is warm."
