Since no one else jumped in... Short answer: EdgeRouter 4 ($199) or EdgeRouter Lite ($99). Long Answer: It depends. The ER-X / ER-X-SFP are architected as a switch with a router hanging off an internal 1Gb/s full-duplex link. Ever

The State's right to do whatever they want to a corpse certainly ends once they no longer have possession of the corpse. More importantly, what the police did here was execute a search upon the funeral home. That their purpose was to t

My desktop runs a pair of stacked 21:9 displays just fine ;-) I'm in the camp that finds 16:9 / 16:10 to be the wrong ratio for... everything. Maybe a giant high-DPI display would make it better. For now, having four windows arran

For me, desktop 21:9 displays have been a good substitute -- divide the screen down the middle and it's comparable in feel to having side-by-side 4:3 displays.

Hue and IKEA have E12s. The Hue E12s are available as white or color, but they're terribly expensive and never seem to go on sale. The IKEA E12 is only $7, dimmable but not color temp, and will pair directly to a Hue hub.

I had one out of around 50 die over ~3 years, which I'm sure is much better than I experienced with incandescents and CFLs. Smart bulbs are so cheap now that I've obsoleted nearly all of my "dumb" LEDs.

You don't, not yet anyways. But if that 100w bulb is on 3-hours per day and you want a 1-year ROI, your replacement budget is probably in the $8-12 range.
