    I have never owned one myself, but potential buyers should be aware that these are Clevo rebrands, and there has been a lot of backlash about customer service, quality control, and just overall quality in general. https://www.red

    It depends on your definition of easily accessible. For example, on my TP-Link W8961N you can use Python's Requests library, Beautiful Soup and HTTP Basic Auth to retrieve and parse the client list.

    Literally any photo you see will be 'impure'; as soon as the image is captured from the sensor, the raw data goes through many, many transformations before it arrives at the final image (white balance, exposure adjustment etc. et

    Brew integration would be nice. There used to be a couple of non-Apple app stores, but most of them were killed off when the actual App Store came along. MacUpdate is still running one though: http://www.macupdate.com/deskto
