ISP's can't be trusted with the firmware on their current routers. Do you really want them in charge of your internet facing services in your home?

- LargoLasskhyfv 5y agoYes, shit happens. Use another device. Or another ISP. Or get a bizniz line where you can spec a device of your choice? Or move? Or use StarLink? (Did you notice the source in my link?(at all?))

Too expensive when it is. > Or move? Is this a joke? > Or use StarLink? Waiting list. Expensive. Latency. > Did you notice the source in my link?(at all?) Did you really expect me to read the source code from a bunch of patches for a french modem and gain some kind of magical insight?
- LargoLasskhyfv 5y ago> Did you really expect... Err, nope? I just posted that link to show you that it doesn't have to be like you said, especially not for the device in question. > ISPs hold monopolies... They did, and sometimes still do elsewhere too. I don't give a shit, since I don't live in "free 3rd-worldistan with nukez, carz, and screaming lunatics on crack, or whatever else". > Is this a joke? Not at all. Totally serious. It's the thing to do, to escape learned helplessness.
