I don't want to block you... Your posts are amusing....but I also don't want to explain to someone who happens to glance at my screen why I'm reading a post with "porn" in the name. Please flag your stuff.

Be careful with having your card exposed; there exists a scam where someone puts a chip reader waist level in certain places, like a crowded line, where it'll skim off a few dollars off anyone who gets close enough. The rfid blocking cards work well (just do a bit of research, lots of sham ones out there), it also looks like there's some options for rid blocking phone wallets too.

That's a risky click....it could be a rick roll, it could be very NSFL, it could be a bunch of fun dolphin facts with a misleading title, or it could be video of cute dolphins playing with their victims.

Oh no...he's got sand is name! Anakin hates sand! Poor kid never stood a chance.

This is the star trek future, the art subroutines are limited to prevent automatic "art" creation.

Ah, I wasn't up to date with the flint 3 issues. From what I gather, they are using some Qualcomm chip that makes life harder.

If you are looking to reflash, it seems flint 2 is defiantly the way to go.

From your original post, it seemed you were looking for more frequent updates, which is why I suggested the newer 3e.

As for technical differences, 3e has WiFi 7. Beside that, quickly skimming the specs pages, I don't see any other big differences. Is that worthwhile? Probably not.

I wonder if the upcoming flint 4 will have the same Qualcomm chip, or if they do something different. I also worry they are releasing more products than they can sustain long term.

I have a few of their routers, they work well. They're not quark free, but nothing is. I like what they stand for, using openwrt as a base and making it easy for stuff like VPN and adblock to be setup.

As for firmware updates, the flint 2 has been out a while (2023), so updates seem to have slowed down. https://dl.gl-inet.com/router/mt6000/stable

If you can afford it, I'd recommend the flint 3e for $170. That was released last year. https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-be6500/

If you do get the flint 2, I personally would not expect any groundbreaking updates, although the latest beta notes does at least add a feature.

That is followed a big asterisk, if you choose to flash your own openwrt, firmware updates will be your own problem to figure out.

(BTW, you can access the openwrt panel through GL's default front end, it's up to you what you do with that note.)

Tom told Janeway it'd be funny if the EMH out ranked him while giving her a fresh pot of coffee.

There's a whole bunch of different search logos.

The next Motorola will support Graphene OS. https://9to5google.com/2026/03/01/motorola-confirms-grapheneos-partnership-for-a-future-smartphone-porting-features/

There's a lot of speculation mixed in with what little was confirmed, and I'm going off by memory a bit; support will most likely on be on their 2027 flagship at first. Which if you currently have Samsung a15, I assume your uses to buying the budget models.

As for google's decision to close down android, they seem to have recently changed into "welcoming third party app stores" Speculatively, it seems their EU lawers explained what a horrible idea it was to shut down 3rd party app stores.

No, v1.2 is the higher version. The full name is "hamster gen 3 maxpro v1.2"

v1.18 was the final version of "hamster gen 3 maxpro first edition."
